PA-A2 ATM-CES Port Adapter Enhancements

Description

The ATM-CES port adapters (PA-A2-4T1C-OC3SM, PA-A2-4T1C-T3ATM, PA-A2-4E1XC- OC3SM, PA-A2-4E1XC-E3ATM, PA-A2-4E1YC-OC3SM, and PA-A2-4E1YC-E3ATM) available on Cisco 7200 series routers now support the following new features:

In addition, all traffic shaping features available with the atm pvc interface command (peak average burst) are supported, and you can now configure the number of transmit channels for the interface with the atm tx-channels interface configuration command.

The ATM-CES has four T1 (1.544 Mbps) or four E1 (2.048 Mbps) ports (75- or 120-ohm) that can support both structured (N x 64 kbps) and unstructured ATM Forum-compliant circuit emulation services (CES), and one port that supports an OC-3 (155 Mbps) single-mode intermediate reach interface or a T3 (45 Mbps) or E3 (34 Mbps) standards-based ATM interface. The target application of the ATM-CES port adapter is access to a broadband public or private ATM network where multiservice consolidation of voice, video, and data traffic over a single ATM link is a requirement.

Platforms

This feature is supported on the Cisco 7200 series routers.

Configuration Tasks

The following sections describe how to configure the new features or capabilities supported on the ATM-CES port adapter. The tasks described in these sections are optional:

Configuring an Available Bit Rate Permanent Virtual Circuit

Available bit rate (ABR) is a quality of service class defined by the ATM Forum for ATM networks. ABR is used for connections that do not require timing relationships between source and destination. ABR provides no guarantees in terms of cell loss or delay, providing only best-effort service. Traffic sources adjust their transmission rate in response to information they receive describing the status of the network and its capability to successfully deliver data.

In ABR transmission, the peak cell rate (PCR) specifies the maximum value of the allowed cell rate (ACR), and minimum cell rate (MCR) specifies the minimum value for the ACR. ACR varies between the MCR and the PCR and is dynamically controlled using congestion control mechanisms.

Also, you can optionally configure the amount that the cell transmission rate increases or decreases in response to flow control information from the network or destination for available bit rate (ABR) VCs.

To create an Available Bit Rate (ABR) permanent virtual circuit (PVC), perform the following task beginning in interface configuration mode:

Task Command
Step 1 Configure an ABR PVC and optionally, specify the peak cell rate (PCR) and minimum cell rate values (MCR). The default PCR value is the line rate, and the default MCR value is 0. atm pvc vcd vpi vci aal-encap abr [[pcr] [mcr]] [oam seconds]
Step 2 Optionally, specify the ABR rate factors. The default increase and decrease rate factor is 1/16. atm abr rate-factors [rate-increase-factor] [rate-decrease-factor]
Step 3 Associate an existing map list to an interface. map-group name

Note For more information on creating PVCs and information on mapping a protocol address to a PVC, refer to the "Configuring ATM" chapter of the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.

To display information about the ABR PVC, use the show atm vc EXEC command.

For an ABR configuration example, see "Configuration Examples" later in this section.

Configuring Virtual Path Shaping

The ATM-CES port adapter supports multiplexing of one or more virtual circuits (VCs) over a virtual path (VP) that is shaped at a constant bandwidth. To use this feature, you configure a permanent virtual path (PVP) with a specific virtual path identifier (VPI). Any VCs that are created subsequently with the same VPI are multiplexed onto this VP; the traffic parameters of individual VCs are ignored.

The traffic shaping conforms to the peak rate that is specified when you create the VP. Any number of data VCs can be multiplexed onto a VP. However, the number of CES VCs that are multiplexed depends on the bandwidth requirement. Because of this requirement, the CES VCs cannot be oversubscribed.


Note The CES VC fails if there is no bandwidth available. Also, data VCs only get whatever bandwidth is unused by the CES VCs.

To create a PVP, perform the following task in interface configuration mode:

Task Command
Step 1 Create a PVP and optionally specify the peak rate. atm pvp vpi [peak-rate]
Step 2 Optionally, create a PVC with a VPI that matches the VPI specified in Step 1. atm pvc vcd vpi vci aal-encap [peak average burst] [oam seconds]
Step 3 Exit interface configuration mode. exit
Step 4 Optionally, create a CES PVC with a VPI that matches the VPI specified in Step 1. interface cbr slot/port

ces circuit circuit-number

ces pvc circuit-number interface atm slot/port vci number vpi number

The VPI value is the virtual path identifier to be associated with the PVP (valid values are in the range 0 to 255 inclusive). The peak rate argument is the maximum rate (in kbps) at which the PVP is allowed to transmit data. Valid values are in the range 84 kbps to line rate. The default peak rate is the line rate.

When you create a PVP, two VCs are created (VCI 3 and 4) by default. These VCs are created for VP end-to-end loopback and segment loopback OAM support.

The atm pvc command is rejected if a non-multiplexed VC with the specified VPI value already exists. This could happen if you first create a VC with a given VPI value and then you subsequently enter this command.

To display information about the PVP, use the show atm vp EXEC command.


Note If you change the peak rate online, the ATM port will go down and then back up.

For an VP configuration example, see "Configuration Examples" later in this section.

Select Transmit Channels

You can select the number of transmit channels used by the interface. The atm tx-channels command can be used to divide the available number (fixed) of transmit descriptors across the configured number of transmit channels.Typically, you think of a one-to-one association between a transmit channel and a VC; however the ATM-CES port adapter supports other types of VCs than data VCs (for example CES VCs). Also, the ATM-CES port adapter can multiplex one or more VCs over a single virtual path (VP) that is shaped, and the VP only requires a single transmit channel. Therefore, the term transmit channel is used rather then virtual circuit.

To set the number of transmit channels, perform the following task in interface configuration mode:

Task Command
Select the number of transmit channels. atm tx-channels number

The maximum burst of packets that are allowed per VC is limited by the number of transmit descriptors allocated per VC. Because the total number of transmit descriptors available is limited by the available SRAM space, configuration of the number of transmit channels for the interface determines the number of transmit descriptors for each transmit channel. Hence the burst size for each transmit channel is determined by the atm tx-channels command. For example, for 64 (default) numbers of transmit channels for the interface, 255 transmit descriptors are associated per transmit channel and for 512 numbers of transmit channels for the interface, 31 transmit descriptors are associated per transmit channel.

To display information on the transmit channels, use the show atm interface atm EXEC command.

Configuration Examples

The following examples show a typical configuration for an ABR PVC and a PVP.

Available Bit Rate PVC Example

The following example shows a typical ABR PVC configuration for the ATM-CES port adapter on a Cisco 7200 series router. In this example, the default peak cell rate and minimum cell rate is used (default PCR is the line rate and MCR is 0), and the ABR rate increase and decrease factor is set to 32.

Command Reference

This section documents new or modified commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 11.1 command references.

atm abr rate-factor

To configure the amount that the cell transmission rate increases or decreases in response to flow control information from the network or destination for available bit rate (ABR) virtual circuits (VCs), use the atm abr rate-factor interface configuration command. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.

atm abr rate-factor [rate-increase-factor] [rate-decrease-factor]
no atm abr rate-factor
[rate-increase-factor] [rate-decrease-factor]
Syntax Description
rate-increase-factor (Optional) Factor by which to increase the data rate. The rate increase factor is specified in powers of 2 from 1 to 32768. The default is 16.
rate-decrease-factor (Optional) Factor by which to decrease the data rate. The rate decrease factor is specified in powers of 2 from 1 to 32768. The default is 16.
Default

ABR rate increase and decrease factor is 16.

Command Mode

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1 CA.

To configure an ABR VC, use the atm pvc command with the abr keyword.

To verify the ABR rate factor, use the show atm interface atm EXEC command.

Examples

The following example sets the ABR rate factor to 32 for the next cell that is transferred on ATM interface 4/0:

interface atm 4/0
 atm abr rate-factor 32 32

atm pvc

To create a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) and optionally to generate Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) F5 loopback cells, enable inverse ATM ARP, or configure Available Bit Rate (ABR) mode, use the atm pvc interface configuration command. To remove the specified PVC, use the no form of this command.

atm pvc vcd vpi vci aal-encap [peak average burst] | [abr [[pcr] [mcr]]]
[
oam seconds] [inarp minutes]
no atm pvc vcd vpi vci aal-encap [peak average burst] | [abr [[pcr] [mcr]]]
[
oam seconds] [inarp minutes]
Syntax Description
vcd Virtual circuit descriptor. A unique number that identifies to the processor which VPI-VCI pair to use for a particular packet. Values range from 1 to the value set with the atm maxvc command. This feature is required to manage packet transmission. The vcd value is not associated with the VPI-VCI pair used for the ATM network cells.
vpi ATM network virtual path identifier (VPI) of this PVC. This value ranges from 0 through 255. The VPI is an 8-bit field in the header of the ATM cell. The VPI value is unique only on a single link, not throughout the ATM network because it has local significance only. The VPI value must match that of the switch.

Both vpi and vci cannot be specified as 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0.

vci ATM network virtual channel identifier (VCI) of this PVC, in the range of 0 through one less than the maximum value set for this interface by the atm vc-per-vp command. The VCI is a 16-bit field in the header of the ATM cell. The VCI value is unique only on a single link, not throughout the ATM network (it has local significance only).

Both vpi and vci cannot be specified as 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0.

aal-encap ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and encapsulation type.

For the ATM-CES, the values are: aal5mux, aal5nlpid, aal5snap, ilmi, and qsaal. When specifying aal5mux, you must also select one of the following protocols: apollo, appletalk, decnet, ip, ipx, vines, or xns.

peak (Optional) Maximum rate (in kbps) at which this virtual circuit can transmit data. Valid values are in the range from 1 to the line rate.
average (Optional) Average rate (in kbps) at which this virtual circuit will transmit data. Valid values are in the range from 1 to the peak rate.
burst (Optional) Value (in the range 1 through 2047) that relates to the maximum number of ATM cells the virtual circuit can transmit to the network at the peak rate of the PVC. The actual burst cells equals burst * 32 cells, thereby allowing for a burst size of 32 cells to 65504 cells. The largest practical value of burst is the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of the AIP card.
abr pcr mcr (Optional) Configure this PVC as an Available Bit Rate (ABR) PVC with the peak cell rate (PCR) and minimum cell rate (MCR) values specified in kbps. The PCR range is 1 to line rate. The MCR range is 0 to the PCR value. The default PCR value is the line rate, and the default MCR value is 0.
oam seconds (Optional) Specifies how often to generate an OAM F5 loopback cell from this virtual circuit. The default value is 10 seconds.
inarp minutes (Optional) Specifies how often Inverse ARP datagrams will be sent on this virtual circuit. The default value is 15 minutes.
Defaults

If peak and average rates are omitted, the PVC defaults to the line rate. Peak and average rates are then equal. By default, the virtual circuit is configured to run as fast as possible.

If the abr keyword is selected with no arguments, the default pcr value is the line rate, and the default mcr value is 0.

If the oam keyword is omitted, OAM cells are not generated. If the oam keyword is present but the seconds value is omitted, the default value of oam seconds is 10 seconds.

If the inarp keyword is missing, inverse ARPs are not generated. If the inarp keyword is present, but the timeout value is not given, then inverse ARPs are generated every 15 minutes.

Command Mode

Interface or subinterface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command was modified in Cisco IOS Release 11.1 CA to support the ATM-CES port adapter and to add the abr keyword.

Available bit rate (ABR) is a quality of service class defined by the ATM Forum for ATM networks. ABR is used for connections that do not require timing relationships between source and destination. ABR provides no guarantees in terms of cell loss or delay, providing only best-effort service. Traffic sources adjust their transmission rate in response to information they receive describing the status of the network and its capability to successfully deliver data. In ABR transmission, the PCR specifies the maximum value of the allowed cell rate (ACR), and MCR specifies the minimum value for the ACR. ACR varies between the MCR and the PCR and is dynamically controlled using congesting control mechanisms. If you select the abr keyword peak, average, and burst arguments are not available. Also refer to the atm abr rate-factor interfaces command to configure the amount that the cell transmission rate increases or decreases in response to flow control information from the network or destination.

The order of command options is important. The inarp keyword can be specified either separately or after oam has been enabled. The peak, average, and burst arguments cannot be specified after either the inarp or the oam keywords.

The atm pvc command creates a PVC and attaches it to the specified VPI and VCI. Both vpi and vci cannot be specified as 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0. The aal-encap argument determines the AAL mode and the encapsulation method used.

Use one of the aal5mux encapsulation options to dedicate the specified virtual circuit to a single protocol; use the aal5snap encapsulation option to multiplex two or more protocols over the same virtual circuit. Whether you select aal5mux or aal5snap encapsulation might depend on practical considerations, such as the type of network and the pricing offered by the network. If the network's pricing depends on the number of virtual circuits set up, aal5snap might be the appropriate choice. If pricing depends on the number of bytes transmitted, aal5mux might be the appropriate choice because it has slightly less overhead.

If you are configuring an SVC, this command is required to configure the PVC that handles the SVC call setup and termination. In this case, specify qsaal for the aal-encap argument.

The router generates and echoes OAM F5 loopback cells, which verify connectivity. After OAM cell generation is enabled, a cell is transmitted periodically. The remote end must respond by echoing back the cells.

The router does not generate alarm indication signal (AIS) cells, which are used for alarm surveillance functions. However, if it receives an AIS cell, it responds by sending an OAM Far-end Remote Failure (FERF) cell.

Example

The following example configures the PVC as an ABR using the default the peak cell rate (the line rate) and the default minimum cell rate:

interface atm 2/0
atm pvc 13 1 13 all5snap abr
Related Commands

atm abr rate-factor

atm pvp

To create a permanent virtual path (PVP) used to multiplex (or bundle) one or more VCs (especially CES and data VCs), use the atm pvp interface command. To remove a permanent virtual path, use the no form of this command.

atm pvp vpi [peak-rate]
no atm pvp
vpi
Syntax Description
vpi ATM network virtual path identifier (VPI) of the VC to multiplex on the permanent virtual path. The range is 0 to 255. The VPI is an 8-bit field in the header of the ATM cell. The VPI value is unique only on a single link, not throughout the ATM network because it has local significance only. The VPI value must match that of the switch.

The number specified for the vpi must not already exist. If the number specified for the vpi is already being used by an existing VC, this command is rejected.

peak-rate Maximum rate in kbps at which the PVP can transmit data. The range is 84 kbps to line rate. The default is the line rate.
Default

PVP is not configured.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1 CA.

The ATM-CES port adapter supports multiplexing of one or more VCs over a virtual path that is shaped at a constant bandwidth. For example, you can buy a virtual path service from an ATM service provider and multiplex both the CES and data traffic over the virtual path.

All subsequently created VCs with a vpi matching the vpi specified with the atm pvp command are multiplexed onto this PVP. This PVP connection is an ATM connection where switching is performed on the VPI field of the cell only. A PVP is created and left up indefinitely. All VCs that are multiplexed over a PVP share and are controlled by the traffic parameters associated with the PVP.

Changing the peak-rate causes the ATM-CES port adapter to go down and then back up.

When you create a PVP, two VC are created (VCI 3 and 4) by default. These VCs are created for VP end-to-end loopback and segment looback OAM support.

To verify the configuration of a PVP, use the show atm vp EXEC command.

Examples

The following example creates a permanent virtual path with a peak rate of 2000 kbps. The subsequent VC created are multiplexed onto this virtual path.

interface atm 6/0
 atm pvp 1 2000
 atm pvc 13 1 13 aal5snap

Syntax Description
number Maximum number of transmit channels for the interface. The range is 8 to 2048 channels.
Default

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1 CA.

The atm tx-channels command can be used to divide the available number (fixed) of transmit descriptors across the configured number of transmit channels.Typically, you think of a one-to-one association between a transmit channel and a VC; however, the ATM-CES port adapter supports other types of VCs than data VCs (for example CES VCs).

Therefore, the term transmit channel is used rather then virtual circuit.

The maximum burst of packets that are allowed per VC is limited by the number of transmit descriptors allocated per VC. Because the total number of transmit descriptors available is limited by the available SRAM space, configuration of the number of transmit channels for the interface determines the number of transmit descriptors for each transmit channel. Hence the burst size for each transmit channel is determined by the atm tx-channels command. For example, for 64 (default) numbers of transmit channels for the interface, 255 transmit descriptors are associated per transmit channel and for 512 numbers of transmit channels for the interface, 31 transmit descriptors are associated per transmit channel.

To display information about the transmit descriptors, use the show atm interface atm EXEC command.

Examples

The following example sets the number of transmit descriptors for the interface to 120.
