Restrictions for the Cisco ATM T3/E3 Network Module

The following restrictions apply to the Cisco ATM T3/E3 network module:

•There is no default card type configuration on the ATM T3/E3 network module. You must configure

the ATM T3/E3 network module for T3 or E3 before it will work.

•The atm vc-per-vp command is not supported on the ATM T3/E3 network module.

Information About the Cisco ATM T3/E3 Network Module

To configure the Cisco ATM T3/E3 network module, you should understand the following:

•ATM, page 2

•Permanent Virtual Circuits, page 3

•Switched Virtual Circuits, page 3

•Classes of Service, page 4

ATM

ATM is an International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunications Standards Section (ITU-T)

standard for cell relay wherein information for multiple service types (such as voice, video, and data),

is conveyed in small, fixed-size (53-byte) cells via connection-oriented virtual circuits (VCs).

Virtual Circuits

A virtual circuit (VC) is a point-to-point connection between remote hosts and routers. A VC is

established for each ATM end node with which the router communicates. The characteristics of the VC

are established when the VC is created and include the following:

•Classes of Service

•ATM adaptation layer 5 (AAL5)

•Encapsulation type:

–

Logical link control Subnetwork Address Protocol (AAL5SNAP)

–

Multiplexer (AAL5MUX)

Information About the Cisco ATM T3/E3 Network Module

Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T

–

Network Layer Protocol ID (AAL5NLPID)

–

Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI)

–

Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS)

–

ITU/Q.2931 Signaling ATM Adaptation Layer (QSAAL)

–

Cisco AUTO PPP over AAL5 (aal5autoppp)

–

Cisco PPP over AAL5 (aal5ciscoppp)

Each VC supports the following router functions:

•Multiprotocol switching

•Fast switching of IP packets

•Flow, and Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) switching of IP packets

•Pseudo-broadcast support for multicast packets

By default, CEF switching is enabled on all ATM T3/E3 module interfaces. These switching features can

be turned off by using interface configuration commands. Flow must be explicitly enabled for each

interface.

Permanent Virtual Circuits

To use a permanent virtual circuit (PVC), configure the PVC in both the router and the ATM switch.

PVCs remain active until the circuit is removed from either configuration. When a PVC is configured,

all the configuration options are passed on to the OC-3 module. You can write these PVCs into NVRAM;

they are used when the system image is reloaded.

Some ATM switches might have point-to-multipoint PVCs that do the equivalent of broadcasting. A

point-to-multipoint PVC can be used as the sole broadcast PVC for all multicast requests.These

switching features can be turned off by using interface configuration commands. Flow must be explicitly

enabled for each interface.

Switched Virtual Circuits

ATM switched virtual circuit (SVC) service operates much like X.25 SVC service, although ATM allows

much higher throughput. Virtual circuits are created and released dynamically, providing user bandwidth

on demand. This service requires a signaling protocol between the router and the switch.

The ATM signaling software provides a method of dynamically establishing, maintaining, and clearing

ATM connections at the user-network interface (UNI). The ATM signaling software conforms to ATM

Forum UNI 3.0 or ATM Forum UNI 3.1, depending on what version is selected by interim local

management interface (ILMI) or configuration.

In UNI mode, the user is the router and the network is an ATM switch. This is an important distinction.

The Cisco router does not perform ATM-level call routing. Instead, the ATM switch does the ATM call

routing, and the router routes packets through the resulting circuit. The router performs as the user and

the LAN interconnection device at the end of the circuit, and the ATM switch performs as the network.

Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T

Classes of Service

ATM resources can be specified dynamically on a per-connection basis (per SVC). The ATM T3/E3

network module supports four classes of service:

•Constant Bit Rate (CBR): This class emulates circuit switching. CBR has the highest transport

priority, which is 0. CBR can be used for connections such as voice and video. This bandwidth is

characterized by peak cell rate (PCR).

•Variable Bit Rate (VBR): VBR is available in non-real-time (VBR-nrt) and real-time (VBR-rt). VBR

has the second highest transport priority, which is 1. VBR sends traffic at a rate that varies with time,

depending on the availability of user information.

•Available Bit Rate (ABR): ABR has the transport priority of 2. ABR provides rate-based flow

control and is aimed at data traffic.

•Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR): UBR has the transport priority of 3. UBR is a “best effort” class of

service that uses the unutilized bandwidth for a connection. Traffic categorized as UBR+ is

guaranteed a minimum line rate through the minimum cell rate (MCR) traffic parameter.

How to Configure the ATM T3/E3 Network Module

Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T

DETAILED STEPS

Note When changing from T3 card type to E3 card type make sure that the interface is configured for 34 Mbps

or less. This is the maximum bandwidth for an E3 connection.

Troubleshooting Tip

T3 interfaces support a maximum bandwidth of 44,209 kbps in ATM and 40,700 kbps in physical layer

convergence procedures (PLCP) mode. E3 interfaces support a maximum bandwidth of 33,920 kbps in

ATM and 30,528 kbps in PLCP mode.

If the total bandwidth used by an interface is greater than 34 Mbps and the card type is changed from T3

to E3, the traffic shaping characteristics of the VCs will be changed. The Cisco IOS software will

reconfigure the VCs so that the total allocated guaranteed bandwidth does not exceed the maximum

allowable E3 bandwidth.

Creating a PVC

To create a PVC on the ATM interface and enter interface-ATM-VC configuration mode, use the

following command, beginning in interface configuration mode:

The range of values for vpi isfrom 0 to 255. The range of values for vci is from 1 to 65535.

Once you specify a name for a PVC, you can reenter the interface-ATM-VC configuration mode by

simply entering pvc name.

Mapping a Protocol Address to a PVC

The ATM interface supports a static mapping scheme that identifies the network addresses of remote

hosts or routers. This section describes how to map a PVC to an address, which is a required task for

configuring a PVC.

To map a protocol address to a PVC, use the following command in interface-ATM-VC configuration

mode:

Note If you enable or disable broadcasting directly on a PVC by using the protocol command, this

broadcasting configuration will take precedence over any direct configuration made using the broadcast

command.

Command Purpose

Router(config-if)# pvc [name] vpi/vci [ilmi | qsaal]

Example:

Router(config-if)# pvc cisco 0/16 ilmi

Configures a new ATM PVC by assigning a name (optional)

and VPI/VCI values. Enters interface-ATM-VC

configuration mode. Optionally configures ILMI or QSAAL

encapsulation.

Command Purpose

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# protocol protocol

protocol-address [ [no] broadcast]

Example:

Router(config)# protocol ip 10.68.34.237 broadcast

Maps a protocol address to a PVC.

Configuring the AAL and Encapsulation Type

To configure the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and encapsulation type on a VC, use the following

command, beginning in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

For a description of AAL types, see the encapsulation aal5 command in the “ATM Commands” chapter

of the Cisco IOS Wide-Area Networking Command Reference.

Configuring PVC Traffic Parameters

The supported traffic parameters (or classes of service) for the ATM T3/E3 network module are CBR,

real-time and non-real-time VBR, UBR, UBR+, and ABR.

To configure PVC traffic parameters on a VC, use one of the following commands, beginning in

interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

Command Purpose

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# encapsulation {aal2 |

aal5auto | aal5autoppp virtual-template number

[group group-name] | aal5ciscoppp virtual-template

number | aal5mux protocol | aal5nlpid | aal5snap}

Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# encapsulation aal5auto

Configures the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and

encapsulation type on the VC.

Command Purpose

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# abr output-pcr output-mcr

Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# abr 10000 3000

Configures ABR.

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# ubr output-pcr

Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# ubr 10000

Configures UBR.

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# ubr+ output-pcr output-mcr

Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# ubr+ 10000 3000

Configures UBR+.

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt output-pcr

output-scr output-mbs

Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-nrt 10000 5000 64

Configures non-real-time VBR.

How to Configure the ATM T3/E3 Network Module

Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T

The -pcr, -scr, and -mcr arguments are peak cell rate, sustainable cell rate, and guaranteed minimum cell

rate, respectively, in kbps. The -mbs argument is maximum burst size in number of cells.

The peak rate, average rate, and rate arguments are in kbps. The burst argument is in number of cells.

For ABR VCs, you can optionally configure the factor by which the cell transmission rate increases or

decreases in response to flow control information from the network or destination. To configure this

option, use the following command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

Setting PVC Watermarks

The SAR, which is used by the ATM T3/E3 module, uses queues inside the SAR hardware. One queue

is used for each created PVC. To manage the latency, shaping, and throughput on the PVCs, use the

following command in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-rt peak-rate

average-rate burst

Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-rt 10000 3000 64

Configures real-time VBR.

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# cbr rate

Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# cbr 10000

Configures CBR.

Command Purpose

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# atm abr rate-factor

[rate-increase-factor] [rate-decrease-factor]

Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# atm abr rate-factor 32 32

Specifies the ABR rate factors. The default rate increase

factor is 16. The default rate decrease factor is 16.

Command Purpose

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# queue-depth <hwm> <lwm>

Example:

Router(config-if-atm-vc)# queue-depth 10 5

Sets the high watermark (hwm) and low watermark (lwm)

level for each created PVC.

When the number of ATM cells in the SAR queues reach the

high watermark level, the SAR stops processing the ATM

cells on that particular PVC. After the ATM cells drain to the

low watermark level, the SAR starts processing the ATM

cells again.
