This chapter includes a brief overview of the BXM card sets and instructions for configuring the BXM. It also describes resource partitioning for the BPX switch. The resource partitioning section provides procedures for UNI port resource partitioining for the BXM and ASI and procedures for NNI or trunk resource partitioning for the BXM and BNI.
The chapter includes the following:
Starting with switch software release 9.1, the BXM also supports tag switching. Partitions for the BXM can be allocated either between:
For information on Tag Switching, refer to Chapter 13, Configuration, Tag Switching.
Also, for switch software Release 9.1, the BXM card supports dynamic resource partitioning to support the conversion of PVCs to soft permanent virtual circuits (SPVCs). This feature is described in the:
Cisco WAN Service Node Extended Services Processor Installation and Operations for Release 2.2 document.
A BXM card set, using Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology, provides high speed ATM connectivity, flexibility, and scalability. The card set is comprised of a front card that provides the processing, management, and switching of ATM traffic and of a back card that provides the physical interface for the card set. An example of a BPX switch network provisioned with BXM-622 cards is shown in Figure 12-1.
The BXM card group includes the BXM-T3/E3, BXM-155, and BXM-622. These cards may be configured to support either trunk (network) or port (service access) interfaces. The BXM T3/E3 is available in 8 or 12 port versions with T3/E3 interfaces. The BXM-155 is available in 4 or 8 port versions with OC3/STM-1 interfaces. The BXM-622 is available in 1 or 2 port versions with OC-12/STM-4 interfaces. The BXM card sets are compliant with ATM UNI 3.1 and Traffic Management 4.0 including ABR VS/VD and provide the capacity to meet the needs of emerging bandwidth driven applications.
For additional information on ATM Connections, refer to Chapter 11, Configuration, ATM Connections.
The BXM cards are designed to support all the following service classes: Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR), Available Bit Rate (ABR with VS/VD, ABR without VS/VD, and ABR using Foresight), and Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR). ABR with VS/VD supports explicit rate marking and Congestion Indication (CI) control.
All software and administration firmware for the BXM card is downloadable from the BCC and is operated by the BXM on-board sub-system processor.
A BXM card set consists of a front and back card. The BXM T3/E3 is available with a universal BPX-T3/E3 backcard in 8 or 12 port versions. The BXM-OC3 is available with 4 or 8 port multi-mode fiber (MMF), single mode fiber (SMF), or single mode fiber long reach (SMFLR) back cards. The BXM-OC12 is available with 1 or 2 port SMF or SMFLR back cards,
Any of the 12 general purpose slots can be used for the BXM cards. The same backcards are used whether the BXM ports are configured as trunks or lines. Table 12-1and Table 12-2 list the available front and back card options for the BXM-T3/E3, BXM-155, and BXM-622.

*The BXM cards can be configured for either, but not both, trunk or service access (UNI) on a card by card basis. Once a card is so configured, all ports are either trunk or service interfaces until the card is reconfigured.
**The BPX-T3/E3-BC universal backcard supports 8 or 12 ports.

This section provides a preliminary summary of configuration, provisioning, and monitoring commands associated with the BXM cards. These commands apply to initial card configuration, line and trunk configuration and provisioning, and connection configuration and provisioning.
New or modified commands include but are not limited to:
Connections are typically provisioned and configured using Cisco StrataView Plus. However, the connections can also be added using the BPX switch command line interface (CLI). This may be appropriate during initial local node setup and when a Strata View Plus workstation is not available.
There are two connection addressing modes supported. The user may enter a unique VPI/VCI address in which case the BPX switch functions as a virtual circuit switch. Or the user may enter only a VPI address in which case all circuits are switched to the same destination port and the BPX switch functions as a virtual path switch in this case. The full ATM address range for VPI and VCI is supported.
Connections are routed between CPE connected to BXM ports. Before adding connections, the BXM is configured for port mode.
A line is upped with the upln command and configured with the cnfln command. Then the associated port is configured with the cnfport command and upped with the upport command. Following this, the ATM connections are added via the addcon command.
The slot number is the BXM card slot on the BPX switch. The port number is one of the ports on the BXM, the VPI is the virtual path identifier, and the VCI is the virtual circuit identifier.
The VPI and VCI fields have significance only to the local BPX switch, and are translated by tables in the BPX switch to route the connection. Connections are automatically routed by the AutoRoute feature once the connection endpoints are specified.
Connections can be either Virtual Path Connections (VPC) or Virtual Circuit Connections (VCC). Virtual Path Connections are identified by an * in the VCI field. Virtual Circuit Connections specify both the VPI and VCI fields.
The following parameters are entered for the BXM addcon command. Depending upon the connection type, the user is prompted with appropriate parameters as shown below.
Syntax:
addcon local_addr node remote_addr traffic_type ...extended parameters
| Field | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
local/remote_addr | slot.port.vpi.vci | card slot, port, and desired VCC or VPI connection identifier |
node |
| slave end of connection |
traffic_type |
| type of traffic, chosen from CBR, VBR, ABR, and UBR |

During the configuration of BPX switch interfaces, you must make sure that the BPX switch IP address, SNMP parameters, and Network IP address are set consistent with your local area network (Ethernet LAN). Use the following BPX switch commands to set these parameters:
The use of these commands is covered in the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference or the Cisco WAN Switching Super User Command Reference. Super User commands must be used only by authorized personnel, and must be used carefully.
MGX 8220 installation and configuration are covered in theCisco MGX 8220 Reference. During the configuration of BPX switch interfaces, you must make sure that the MGX 8220 IP address is set up consistent with your local area network (Ethernet LAN). Use the following MGX 8220 command to set the proper IP addresses:
cnfifip -ip <ip address> -if <interface type> -msk <subnet mask address> -bc <broadcast address>
The use of this command is covered in the Cisco MGX 8220 Command Reference.
Starting with switch software Release 8.4, resources on BPX switch UNI ports and NNI trunks can be divided between SVCs and PVCs. This is known as resource partitioning and is done through the Command Line Interface for the BPX switch and the MGX 8220.
These resources for BXM, ASI, and BNI cards can be partitioned appropriately between SVCs or PVCs.
Starting with switch software release 9.1, the BXM also supports tag switching. Partitions for the BXM can be allocated either between:
For information on Tag Switching, refer to Chapter 13, Configuration, Tag Switching.
Also, for switch software Release 9.1, the BXM card supports dynamic resource partitioning to support the conversion of PVCs to soft permanent virtual circuits (SPVCs). This feature is described in the Cisco WAN Service Node Extended Services Processor Installation and Operations for Release 2.2 document.
This section provides procedures for:
A BPX switch ATM Service Interface (ASI) card which will support ATM SVCs will have to be added and upped like a standard PVC port. Before adding connections, an ASI line is upped with the upln command and configured with the cnfport command and upped with the upport command. Complete details on using the BPX switch command line interface and applicable commands are described in the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference manuals. These procedures will concentrate on those commands that are specific to SVC resource partitioning.
Before partitioning SVC resources, you must have determined which ASI will support ATM SVCs. The ASI will have to have its resources partitioned to support SVCs. The following resources must be partitioned for each ASI UNI port:
To partition the ASI UNI port, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the BPX switch
Step 2 Using the upln and upport commands, up the line and port which are going to be connected to ATM CPE.
Step 3 Make sure the port is configured as UNI.
Step 4 Enter the cnfport <port num> command, as illustrated in the following example:

Step 7 Configure the SVC Queue Pool Size with this menu. Other parameters are for PVCs.
Step 8 Repeat SVC resource partitioning for every ASI port that you want to support SVCs in the BPX Switch.
A BXM card used as a UNI port can be configured to support ATM SVCs. The BXM will have to be added and upped like a standard PVC port. The BXM port will have to upped as a line (upln) to function as a UNI port.
For additional information on using the BPX switch command line interface and applicable commands, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference manual. These procedures will concentrate on those commands that are specific to SVC resource partitioning.
Before partitioning SVC resources, you must determine which BXM UNI ports will support ATM SVCs. The BXM must have its resources partitioned to support SVCs. The following resources must be partitioned:
To partition the BXM port, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the BPX switch.
Step 2 Using the upln and upport commands, up the line and port which is going to be connected to ATM CPE.
Step 3 Make sure the port is configured as UNI.
Step 4 Enter the cnfport <port num> command, shown in the following example:

SVC Queue Pool Size [5000]:
Step 7 Configure the SVC Queue Pool Size parameter to a value greater than 0 (zero); the default is 0 and needs to be changed for SVCs to operate.
Step 8 Partition the SVC resources for every BXM which is to support ATM SVCs in the BPX switch.
The BPX switch has two types of trunk cards which may have their resources partitioned to support SVCs.
When the BNI is used as a trunk in a BPX switch network, it will have to have its resources partitioned to support SVCs. The BNI is described in the Cisco BPX 8600 Series Reference. Complete details on using the BPX switch command line interface and applicable commands are described in the Cisco BPX 8600 Series Reference and WAN Switching Command Reference manuals. These procedures will concentrate on those commands that are specific to SVC resource partitioning.
The following BNI trunk resources must be partitioned for SVCs:
To partition the BNI trunk resources, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the BPX switch
Step 2 Up the trunk with uptrk <trunk_num> command.
Step 3 Enter the cnftrk <trk num> command as shown in the following example:

Step 6 Configure the SVC Queue Pool Size as desired.
Step 7 Partition the SVC resources for all the other BNIs in your BPX switch. This includes the BNI that is used to connect an MGX 8220 shelf to a BPX switch when they are to be used for SVC connections.
When the BXM is used as a trunk in a BPX switch network, it needs to have its resources partitioned to support SVCs. The BXM card will have to upped as a trunk (uptrk).
For additional information on using the BPX switch command line interface and applicable commands refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference manual. In addition, the Cisco System Overview provides conceptual information about ATM connections and services. These procedures concentrate on those commands that are specific to SVC resource partitioning.
The following BXM trunk resources must be partitioned for SVCs:
To partition the BXM trunk resources for SVCs, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the BPX switch
Step 2 Make sure the BXM has been upped as a trunk with uptrk <trunk_num> command.
Step 3 Enter the cnftrk <trk num> command, shown in the following example:
