This chapter explains how to configure cards and lines for service delivery.

Configuring Cards

Card parameters control the operational characteristics of the card as a whole. The MGX 8260 Media Gateway supports the following cards:

• SCC (System Controller Card)

The SCC provides overall system control and database management for the shelf. In addition, the card provides optional broadband interfaces to the WAN backbone network, such as Fast Ethernet. SCCs are always in slots 9 or 10. When SCCs are installed in both slots, they operate as a redundant pair.

• NSC (Narrowband Service Card)

The NSC adapts different media types and switches signals between carrier networks and services. The NSC supports a range of service and applications for both voice and data calls. NSCs are always in slots 1-8 and 11-16.

• BSC (Broadband Service Card)

The BSC adapts different media types and switches signals between carrier networks and services. The BSC supports a range of service and applications for both voice and data calls, including DS3 circuits. BSCs are always in slots 11-16.

• DMC (Distribution Matrix Card)

The MGX 8260 Media Gateway supports full multiplexing/demultiplexing and TDM-based switching at DS3 rates through the DMC. The DMC receives DS3 signals and distributes the services across NSC modules for processing. DMCs are always in slots 7 or 8.

Choosing the NSC Interface Mode

The interface mode controls the signal source for the T1 interface of an NSC card. There are three modes (see Figure 7-1)

• Back card

• Back plane

• No back card

All sixteen T1 lines operate in the same mode. The system ignores this setting for cards other than the NSC.

NSC-BC -> NSC-FC -> Bus -> SCC-FC -> SCC-BC
where BC = Back Card and FC = Front Card
 

DMC-BC -> DMC-FC -> Bus -> NSC-FC -> Bus -> SCC-FC -> SCC-BC
where BC = Back Card and FC = Front Card
 

NSC-FC -> Bus -> SCC-FC -> SCC-BC
where BC = Back Card and FC = Front Card
 

Configuring the NSC Interface Mode

The following table shows the response of the interface mode command for each card type and operating state:

Table 7-1: Response of Interface Mode Command by Card and State

State	SCC slots 9/10 and BSC slots 11-16	DMC slots 7/8	NSC slots 1-8, 11-16
active	Illegal slot number for these states	Illegal slot number for these states	OK
standby			Illegal
empty			Illegal
inBoot			OK
mismatch			OK
failed			OK
unknown		N/A	N/A

To set the NSC interface mode, enter the chcdif command, specifying the card number and NSC interface mode. Valid NSC interface mode settings are:

1: back card (default)

2: back plane

3. no back card

Note Configuring the back card mode with out a back card installed results in a card mismatch.

The system sets the specified interface mode on the target NSC card. The following example sets the interface mode of card 13 to back plane:

chcdif 13 2
 

The card resets and reboots into backplane mode.

Setting the ATM Queue Profile

The ATM queue profile defines the queue behavior for the SCC card. The following table shows the response of ATM profile command for different card types and operating states:

Table 7-2: Response of ATM Queue Profile Command by Card and State

State	SCC slots 9/10	DMC slots 7/8	NSC slots 1-6, 9-16
active	OK	Illegal slot number for these states	Illegal slot number for these states
standby	Not allowed by standby SCC
empty	Card does not exist
inBoot	Not allowed by standby SCC
mismatch	Not allowed by standby SCC
failed	Not allowed by standby SCC
unknown	Card does not exist	N/A

To set the ATM queue profile, enter the chqprf command, specifying the slot number of the SCC card, either 9 or 10, and the queue profile, a number from 1 to 10. Profile 1 is the default.

The system sets the specified queue profile on the target SCC card.

Resetting a Card

The resetcd command restarts a card and restores its stored configuration. The following table shows response of the reset command for different card types and operating states:

Table 7-3: Response of Reset Command by Card and State

State	SCC slots 9/10	DMC slots 7/8	NSC slots 1-8, 11-16 and BSC slots 11-16
active	OK	Service not available on DMC	OK
standby			OK
empty	Card does not exist.		Card does not exist
inBoot	OK		OK
mismatch			OK
failed			OK
unknown	Card does not exist	N/A	N/A

Warning Resetting a card interrupts service. Perform this operation during light traffic periods or in a pre-arranged maintenance window.

To reset a card, enter the resetcd command, specifying the card to reset.

The following example resets card 13:

resetcd 13

Understanding Redundancy

The MGX 8260 Media Gateway supports both redundant and non-redundant operation for all cards. The SCC and DMC don't require user setup for redundant operation. To configure redundancy for the NSC or BSC, you define protection pairs. The Cisco MGX 8260 uses 1:N protection for NSCs and 1:1 protection for BSCs. With protection, the system switches to a protection card if an active card fails.

Understanding Physical and Logical Slot Numbers

Cards configured for redundancy may have logical numbers that are different than physical slot numbers. The physical slot number always represents the physical location of the card in the chassis. The logical slot number is an abstract concept that helps the system keep track of primary and secondary cards.

With 1:1 redundancy, the primary and secondary cards both have the same logical slot number. As such, the system treats them as a single entity for configuration operations. With 1:N redundancy, the secondary card uses logical slot number 0. During switchover, the secondary card assumes the logical number of the card it protects.

Using 1:N NSC Redundancy

A single secondary card can support multiple primary cards. In this configuration, a failure of any of the primary cards causes a switchover to the designated secondary.

For example, a 1:2 redundancy configuration with slot 3 covering slot 1 and slot 5 actually has two redundancy pairs (see Figure 7-2).

If the primary card in slot one fails, the system switches to the secondary NSC, and the secondary NSC assumes the logical slot number of the card that failed (see Figure 7-3).

Using 1:1 BSC Redundancy

You configure BSC protection using a pair of cards configured for 1:1 redundancy. After you configure a redundant pair of BSCs, both cards reboot and return to operation with the same logical slot number. The card LED displays green for the active card and yellow for the standby card.

Warning Adding BSC redundancy interrupts service. Perform this operation during light traffic periods or in a pre-arranged maintenance window.

The following example shows how to configure cards 15 and 16 for redundancy (see Figure 7-4).

A failure of the active card causes a switchover to the backup card. During the switchover, the active and standby roles are reversed (see Figure 7-5). The card that failed reboots, and the Card LED changes to either yellow or red, depending on the type of problem.

Configuring BSC or NSC Redundancy

This section describes the process for configuring redundancy for BSC and NSC cards.

Viewing BSC and NSC Redundancy

To view all redundancy pairs, enter the lsreds command.

The system displays all redundancy pairs:

=======================================================================

  5              3
 

Displayed Information	Description
Primary Slot	The physical slot for the primary card of the redundancy pair
Secondary Slot	The physical slot for the secondary card of the redundancy pair

Adding NSC Redundancy

There are two possible NSC redundancy scenarios: with and without DMC.

• NSC redundancy without DMC

This scenario requires a redundant back card in the secondary slot. The back card protects the primary slots in the event of a primary card failure.

• NSC redundancy with DMC

This scenario does not require, and cannot have, a redundant back card.

Both scenarios require assignment of primary and secondary slot numbers in pairs. The MGX 8260 chassis only supports one secondary slot.

Configuring NSC Redundancy without DMC

To configure NSC redundancy without DMC, follow these steps:

Step 2 Verify that each primary, active NSC is in the back card mode and is in the active state. List the operational status of all cards using the lscds command.

Step 3 Add a redundancy pair using the addreds command, specifying the slots of the primary and secondary slots.

The primary slot is active during normal operation. The secondary slot is in standby during normal operation and protects the primary slot in the event of a primary failure.

The following example creates a redundancy pair with slot 1 as primary and slot 3 as secondary:

addreds 1 3
 

Step 4 Repeat the previous step to assign additional primary slots to the designated secondary slot. Each MGX 8260 chassis can have only one secondary slot.

Configuring NSC Redundancy with DMC

To configure NSC redundancy with DMC, follow these steps:

lscds
 

Step 2 Verify that the redundant NSC does not have a redundancy back card installed and is in the standby state. See "Viewing Summary Information for Cards" section.

Step 3 Verify that each primary NSC does not have a back card installed and is in the active state.

Step 4 Add a redundancy pair using the addreds command.

Step 5 Repeat the previous step to assign additional primary slots to the designated secondary slot. Each MGX 8260 chassis can have only one secondary slot for NSC cards.

Adding BSC Redundancy

In order to successfully configure a redundant pair, the following conditions must be true:

• The hardware configuration of the two BSCs must be identical

• The firmware version of the two BSCs must be identical

• The redundant BSC must not have any lines configured

Warning Adding BSC redundancy interrupts service. Perform this operation during light traffic periods or in a pre-arranged maintenance window.

To configure BSC redundancy, follow these steps:

Step 2 Add a redundant "Y" cable between all ports on the two cards.

Step 3 From a telnet session, add a redundancy pair using the addreds command.

Both cards reboot and return to operation with the same logical slot number.

Deleting Redundancy

To delete a redundancy pair, enter the delreds command specifying the primary and secondary slots. The following example deletes the redundancy pair where slot 1 is primary and slot 3 is secondary:

delreds 1 3
 

The redundant card continues to protect other primary cards with which it is paired.

Invoking a Switchback

The switchover from primary to secondary cards is automatic when a primary card fails. Switching back is a manual task. The following table shows the response of the switchback command as a function of card type and operational state:

Table 7-4: Response for the Switch Card Command by Card and State

State	SCC slots 9/10	DMC slots 7/8	NSC slots 1-8, 11-16 and BSC slots 11-16
active	OK	Service not available on DMC	Switchback from secondary to primary only.
standby	Illegal slot number for this state.
empty	Card does not exist.
inBoot	Illegal slot number for this state.
mismatch
failed
unknown		N/A	N/A

To force a switchback, enter the swcd command specifying the physical number of the primary card in a protection pair.

Note To force a switchover, rather than a switch back, reset the primary card using resetcd.

Adding DS1 Lines

This procedure explains how to add DS1 lines to BSC or NSC cards. DS1 lines within a DS3 line have the following mapping:

DS 3 Line Number	DS1 Line Number
501	1-28
502	29-56
503	57-84
504	85-112
505	113-140
506	141-168

Note Before adding DS1 channels to a DS3 line, ensure the corresponding DS3 line exists.

To add a DS1 line, follow these steps:

The following example adds two DS1 lines with AMI line coding at slot 11 lines 6 and 7:

addds1ln 11.6 2 # 5
 

This example assumes DS3 line number 501 already exists in slot 11.

Note The system stops adding lines on the first failure, even if later additions are valid.

Step 2 Add other DS1 lines, as required.

Step 3 Verify the configuration for the new lines using the lsds1ln command, specifying the logical number of the slot in the MGX 8260 chassis and the number of the DS1 line on the NSC, delimited by a period (slot.line).

Changing DS1 Lines

Warning Changing a DS1 line interrupts service. Perform this operation during light traffic periods or in a pre-arranged maintenance window.

To change the configuration of a DS1 line, enter the chds1ln command and optional parameters. Unspecified parameters, designated by a # symbol, retain their current settings.

For example, the following command activates a local diagnosis loopback on line 6 of logical slot 11:

chds1ln 11.6 # # # # 4

Deleting DS1 Lines

Warning Deleting a DS1 line interrupts service. Perform this operation during light traffic periods or in a pre-arranged maintenance window.

To delete a DS1 line type, enter the delds1ln command, specifying the slot.line and number of lines.

The system deactivates the DS1 line and removes its configuration from the database.

Note The MGX 8260 inhibits deletion of a line with an active connection.

The following example deletes 2 DS1 lines beginning at line 6 of slot 11:

delds1ln 11.6 2

Configuring DS3 Lines

From the command line interface, you can add, change, delete, and view DS3 lines. These procedures apply to all DS3 lines, regardless of the card type.

Viewing DS3 Configuration and Status

To view detail information for a single DS3 line, enter the lsds3ln command, specifying the location (slot.line) of the DS3 line. Valid slot values: 7 or 8 for the DMC card; 11 -16 for the BSC card. Valid line values are 1-6.

The system displays all DS3 settings for the specified line:

Adding DS3 Lines

When adding DS3 lines that contain DS1 channels, add the DS3 lines first.

To add DS3 lines, follow these steps:

The following example adds two new DS3 lines with default settings to slot 11 lines 501 and 502:

addds3ln 11.501 2
 

Note The system stops adding lines on the first failure.

Step 2 Add other DS3 lines, as necessary.

Step 3 Check the configuration, using the lsds3ln command, specifying the location (slot.line) of the new line.

Changing DS3 Lines

Warning Changing a DS3 line interrupts service. Perform this operation during light traffic periods or in a pre-arranged maintenance window.

To change the settings of a DS3 line, enter the chds3ln command as described in the "chds3ln" section.

For example, to activate a line loopback on DS3 line 501 in logical slot 11:

chds3ln 11.501 # # # # 3
 

Deleting DS3 Lines

To delete a DS3 line, enter the delds3ln command, specifying the logical number slot and line number (slot.line), and the number of lines to delete. Valid slot values: 7 or 8 for the DMC card; 11 -16 for the BSC card. Valid line values are 1-6.

The system deactivates the DS3 line and removes its configuration from the database.

The following example deletes two DS3 lines beginning at line 501 in slot 11:

delds3ln 11.501 2

Mapping DMC Lines

The DMC maps source DS1 channels from the DS3 interface to destination DS1 channels on the NSC. The mapping is one-to-one and can connect any source DS1 to any destination DS1 (see Figure 7-6).

Adding Map Table Entries

You can add map entries individually or within a range. When adding individual map entries, the following restrictions apply:

• Map commands can't duplicate existing entries.

• Map commands can't specify non-existent source or destination lines. For information on adding lines, see the "Configuring DS1 Lines" section and the "Configuring DS3 Lines" section.

You simplify the process of mapping DS3 to DS1 lines by mapping a range of DS1s rather than individual lines. A map range is added in a sequential and contiguous manner, and can cross either source or destination boundaries.

The entire range of source and destination lines must be contiguous. The system stops mapping lines if it encounters a source or destination that is already assigned, leaving map pairs before the contiguous break assigned and the rest unassigned.

To add map table entries, enter the addm13 command as described in the "addm13" section.

For example, in an MGX 8260 Media Gateway without any existing mapping, specify the maximum number of mappings as follows:

addm13 1 1 1 1 168
 

To add three map entries, enter the following command:

addm13 1 3 1 1 3
 

This example creates the following map table:

Table 7-6: DMC Map Table for the addm13 Command

Source DS3 Line	Source DS1 Line	Destination NSC Slot	Destination DS1 Line
1	3	1	1
1	4	1	2
1	5	1	3

Changing Map Tables

You change map table entries one at a time. A change removes an existing mapping and replaces it with a map between the old source and new destination. To apply a change, the following must be true:

• The command must specify an existing map pair.

• The new destination must be unassigned.

Changing a map entry interrupts service to a large number of subscribers. Perform this task on inactive lines or during light traffic periods.

To change an existing map entry, enter the chm13 command. For example the following command sequence adds three map table entries and then changes one of them:

addm13 1 3 1 1 3
chm13 1 3 1 4
 

The example creates the following map table:

Table 7-7: DMC Map Table for the Modified addm13 Command

Source DS3 Line	Source DS1 Line	Destination NSC Slot	Destination DS1 Line
1	3	1	4
1	4	1	2
1	5	1	3

Deleting Map Table Entries

You can delete map table entries individually or in a range. When deleting a range of entries, the entire number of source and destination lines should be contiguous. The system stops deleting lines if it encounters a break in source range, deleting only those lines before the break.

Deleting map entries discontinues or interrupts service to a large number of subscribers. Perform this task only on lines that are out of service.

To delete map table entries, enter the delm13 command. The following example deletes three sequential map table entries, starting at DS3 line 1, DS1 line 1:

delm13 1 1 3

Viewing Map Tables

You can view the map table for the system as a whole or for individual source DS1 lines.

To view map tables for a single source DS1, enter the lsm13 command, specifying the number of the source DS3 line and number of the DS1 line within the DS3 line. Valid entries are 1 through 6 for the DS3 and 1 through 28 for the DS1.The system lists map table entries for the specified line.

To view all DS3 to DS1 mappings, enter the lsm13s command. The system lists all map table entries:

Step 2 Add other Fast Ethernet lines, as necessary.

Step 3 Verify the configuration using the lsethlns command.

The system displays the line configuration.

Changing a Fast Ethernet Line

Warning Changing a Fast Ethernet line interrupts service to a large number of users. Perform this operation during light traffic periods or in a pre-arranged maintenance window.

To change the configuration of a Fast Ethernet line, enter the chethln command as described in the "chethln" section. For example, the following command enables RDP but leaves other parameters unchanged on Fast Ethernet line 1 in slot 9:

chethln 9.1 # 2
 

The system enables RDP on the specified line.

Deleting Fast Ethernet Lines

To delete Fast Ethernet lines, enter the delethln command, specifying the slot and line number of the SCC. Valid values for the slot number of the SCC are either 9 or 10. Valid values for the Fast Ethernet line is a number from 1 to 4.

The system deletes the specified line. The following example deletes Fast Ethernet line 1 in slot 9:

delethln 9.1

Setting the Fast Ethernet Administrative Status

To enable a Fast Ethernet, enter the upethln command, specifying the slot and line number of the SCC (slot.line). The system enables the Ethernet line. The corresponding front panel ACT LED changes to green.

The following example enables Fast Ethernet line 1 in slot 9:

upethln 9.1
 

To disable the a Fast Ethernet, enter the dnethln command, specifying the slot and line number of the SCC (slot.line). The system disables the Ethernet line. The corresponding front panel ACT LED changes to red.

The following example disables Fast Ethernet line 1 in slot 9:
