aaa authentication arap through atm sonet stm-1

aaa authentication arap

To enable an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) authentication method for AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA), use the aaa authentication arap command in global configuration mode. To disable this authentication, use the no form of this command.

aaa authentication arap {default | list-name} method1 [method2 . . . ]

no aaa authentication arap {default | list-name} method1 [method2 . . . ]

Syntax Description

default

Uses the listed methods that follow this argument as the default list of methods when a user logs in.

list-name

Character string used to name the following list of authentication methods tried when a user logs in.

method1 [method2... ]

At least one of the keywords described in the table below.

Command Default

If the default list is not set, only the local user database is checked. This has the same effect as the following command:

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

The list names and default that you set with the aaa authentication arap command are used with the arap authentication command. Note that ARAP guest logins are disabled by default when you enable AAA. To allow guest logins, you must use either the guest or auth-guest method listed in the table below. You can only use one of these methods; they are mutually exclusive.

Create a list by entering the aaa authentication arap list-name method command, where list-name is any character string used to name this list (such as MIS-access ). The method argument identifies the list of methods the authentication algorithm tries in the given sequence. See the table below for descriptions of method keywords.

To create a default list that is used if no list is specified in the arap authentication command, use the default keyword followed by the methods you want to be used in default situations.

The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous method returns an error, not if it fails.

Use the more system:running-config command to view currently configured lists of authentication methods.


Note

In the table below, the group radius , group tacacs + , and group group-name methods refer to a set of previously defined RADIUS or TACACS+ servers. Use the radius-server host and tacacs+-server host commands to configure the host servers. Use the aaa group server radius and aaa group server tacacs+ commands to create a named group of servers.


Table 1. aaa authentication arap Methods

Keyword

Description

guest

Allows guest logins. This method must be the first method listed, but it can be followed by other methods if it does not succeed.

auth-guest

Allows guest logins only if the user has already logged in to EXEC. This method must be the first method listed, but can be followed by other methods if it does not succeed.

line

Uses the line password for authentication.

local

Uses the local username database for authentication.

local-case

Uses case-sensitive local username authentication.

group radius

Uses the list of all RADIUS servers for authentication.

group tacacs+

Uses the list of all TACACS+ servers for authentication.

group group-name

Uses a subset of RADIUS or TACACS+ servers for authentication as defined by the aaa group server radius or aaa group server tacacs+ command.

Examples

The following example creates a list called MIS-access , which first tries TACACS+ authentication and then none:


aaa authentication arap MIS-access group tacacs+ none

The following example creates the same list, but sets it as the default list that is used for all ARA protocol authentications if no other list is specified:


aaa authentication arap default group tacacs+ none

abr

To select available bit rate (ABR) quality of service (QoS) and configure the output peak cell rate and output minimum guaranteed cell rate for an ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC) or virtual circuit (VC) class, use the abr command in the appropriate command mode. To remove the ABR parameters, use the no form of this command.

abr output-pcr output-mcr

no abr output-pcr output-mcr

Syntax Description

output-pcr

The output peak cell rate, in kilobits per second.

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

If the abr command is not explicitly configured on an ATM PVC, the VC inherits the following default configuration (listed in order of precedence):

  • Configuration of any QoS command (abr ubr , ubr+ , or vbr-nrt ) in a VC class assigned to the PVC itself.

  • Configuration of any QoS command (abr , ubr , ubr+ , or vbr-nrt ) in a VC class assigned to the PVC’s ATM subinterface.

  • Configuration of any QoS command (abr , ubr , ubr+ , or vbr-nrt ) in a VC class assigned to the PVC’s ATM main interface.

  • Global default value: ABR QoS at the maximum line rate of the PVC.

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.

Examples

The following example specifies the output-pcr argument to be 100,000 kbps and the output-mcr argument to be 3000 kbps for an ATM PVC:


pvc 1/32
 abr 100000 3000

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.4.0S

This command was introduced on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Service Routers.

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5.0S

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5.0S to support the clear E3 ATM.

Usage Guidelines

The atm command was introduced in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.4.0S to support clear T3 ATM on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers. The Circuit Emulation SPA for which the atm command is used is SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM. In Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5.0S, clear E3 ATM has been introduced in the SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM .

Use the following commands in the sequence described here to configure an interface as either clear T3 or E3 ATM:
  1. Configure the card type using the card type {t3 | e3} slot subslot command.

  2. The Shared Port Adapter (SPA) reloads after the card type is configured. Once the SPA is up, you should configure the controller type as T3 or E3 using the controller {t3 | e3} slot/subslot/port command.

  3. To provision an interface to function with ATM capabilities use the atm command.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an interface as clear T3 ATM:


Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# card type t3 0 1
Device(config)# controller t3 0/1/0
Device(config-controller)# atm
The following example shows how to configure an interface as clear E3 ATM:

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

This command is supported on Cisco 7500 series routers with ATM Interface Processor (AIP). This command is not supported on the ATM port adapter. Because Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers always support both AAL3/4 and AAL5, this command is not required on Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers.

Only one virtual circuit can exist on a subinterface that is being used for AAL3/4 processing, and that virtual circuit must be an AAL3/4 virtual circuit.

The AAL3/4 support feature requires static mapping of all protocols except IP.

Examples

The following example enables AAL3/4 on ATM interface 2/0:


interface atm2/0
 ip address 172.21.177.178 255.255.255.0

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

If an NSAP address is specified, the ARP client on this interface uses the specified host as an ARP server. You can specify multiple ATM ARP servers by repeating the command. If self is specified, this interface acts as the ARP server for the logical IP network.

The ATM ARP server takes one of the following actions if a destination listed in the server’s ARP table expires:

  • If a virtual circuit still exists to that destination, the server sends an Inverse ARP request. If no response arrives, the entry times out.

  • If a virtual circuit does not exist to the destination, the entry times out immediately.

This implementation follows RFC 1577 , Classical IP over ATM .

To configure redundant ARP servers, you must first enable redundant ARP server support by entering the atm classic-ip-extensions command with the BFI keyword.

Examples

The following example configures ATM on an interface and configures the interface to function as the ATM ARP server for the IP subnetwork:


interface atm 0/0
 ip address 10.0.0.1.255.0.0.0
atm nsap-address ac.1533.66.020000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.00

atm bandwidth dynamic

To enable the automatic management of changes in the total bandwidth of an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) interface configured with an Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) group, use the atm bandwidth dynamic command in interface configuration mode. To disable automatic management of changes in total IMA group bandwidth, use the no form of this command.

Modification

12.0(30)S1

This command was introduced.

12.0(31)S

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.0(31)S.

Usage Guidelines

When the atm bandwidth dynamic command is enabled, all of the permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) configured on an IMA group interface are created again if the total available IMA group bandwidth changes.

There must be at least one active link on the IMA group interface for dynamic bandwidth changes to take effect.

Automatic bandwidth management is supported only for the following quality of service (QoS) classes:

  • UBR--unspecified bit rate

  • ABR--available bit rate

  • VBR-NRT--variable bit rate nonreal-time

If necessary and applicable for a particular PVC based on its QoS class, new values are applied for the following parameters when PVCs are re-created:

  • peak cell rate (PCR)--all supported QoS classes

  • minimum cell rate (MCR)--ABR QoS

  • sustainable cell rate (SCR)--VBR-NRT QoS

The algorithm used to implement automatic bandwidth management is applied only when dynamic changes to an IMA group interface occur. It is not applied at virtual circuit creation on router bootup.


Note

PVCs may have incorrect QoS parameters if the atm bandwidth dynamic command is disabled after changing the total bandwidth, and enabled again after changing the total bandwidth once more.


Examples

The following example shows how to create IMA group 1, enable automatic bandwidth management, and assign a physical ATM interface to the IMA group:


interface atm3/ima 1
 atm bandwidth dynamic
!
interface atm0/1
 ima-group 1

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

Cisco’s implementation of the ATM ARP server supports redundant ATM ARP servers on a single logical IP subnetwork (LIS ). In order for redundant ATM ARP server support to work, all of the devices on the LIS must be Cisco devices and must have the atm classic-ip-extensions BFI command configured.

The none keyword enables behavior that complies with RFC 1577, Classical IP over ATM . RFC 1577 does not support redundant ARP servers.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure redundant ARP servers on an ATM interface:


Router(config)# interface atm 1/0
Router(config-if)# atm classic-ip-extensions BFI
Router(config-if)# atm arp-server nsap 47.000580FFE1000000F21A3167.666666666666.00

Usage Guidelines

You can use the MAC address of any other physical interface as the MAC address of a subinterface, in conjunction with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client. You can also configure an explicit MAC address for an ATM point-to-point subinterface.

Examples

The following example shows how the ATM point-to-point subinterface can be configured to use the MAC address of any other physical interface:


Router# config t
Router(config)# interface atm3/0.100 point-to-point
Router(config-subif)# atm ether-mac-address interface fastEthernet 0/0
Router(config-subif)#interface ATM3/0.100 point-to-point
Router(config-subif)# atm ether-mac-address interface FastEthernet0/0
Router(config-subif)# no atm enable-ilmi-trap
Router(config-subif)# end

Note

For RBE, the client interface is restricted to ethernet interfaces only.


The following example shows how the ATM point-to-point subinterface can be configured with the user-defined MAC address:


Router(config-subif)# atm ether-mac-address 0a0a.0b0b.0c0c
Router(config-subif)# interface ATM3/0.100 point-to-point
Router(config-subif)# no atm enable-ilmi-trap
end

Note

A valid nonzero MAC address is essential for a successful configuration.

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

The atm esi-address command allows you to configure the ATM address by entering the ESI (12 hexadecimal characters) and the selector byte (2 hexadecimal characters). The ATM prefix (26 hexadecimal characters) will be provided by the ATM switch. To get the prefix from the ATM switch, the ILMI permanent virtual circuit (PVC) must be configured on the router and the ATM switch must be able to supply a prefix via ILMI. A period must be used to separate the esi from the selector arguments.


Note

When ILMI is configured, use the atm esi-address command instead of the atm nsap-address command. The atm esi-address and atm nsap-address commands are mutually exclusive. Configuring the router with the atm esi-address command negates the atm nsap-address setting, and vice versa.


The ILMI PVC must be configured in order to get an NSAP address prefix from the switch.

Examples

The following example sets up the ILMI PVC and assigns the ESI and selector field values on the ATM interface 4/0:


interface atm 4/0
 atm pvc 2 0 16 ilmi
 atm esi-address 345678901234.12

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

The atm max-channels command replaces the atm tx-channels command.

Transmit Descriptors

The atm max-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 than virtual circuit .

Maximum Burst

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 max-channels command. For example, for 64 (the default) transmit channels for the interface, 255 transmit descriptors are associated per channel, and for 512 transmit channels for the interface, 31 transmit descriptors are associated per channel.

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

Examples

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


interface atm 2/0
 atm max-channels 120

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

This command is supported on Cisco 7500 series routers; it is not supported on the Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers, which have a fixed maximum of 1024 VCs.

This command sets the maximum value supported for the vcd argument in the atm pvc command. It also determines the maximum number of virtual circuits on which the AIP allows segmentation and reassembly (SAR) to occur. However, if you set a maxvc limit and then enter the atm pvc command with a larger value for the vcd argument, the software does not generate an error message.

This command does not affect the virtual path identifier (VPI)-virtual channel identifier (VCI) pair of each virtual circuit.

Examples

The following example sets a ceiling VCD value of 1024 and restricts the AIP to supporting no more than 1024 virtual circuits:


atm maxvc 1024

atm mid-per-vc

To limit the number of message identifier (MID) numbers allowed on each virtual circuit, use the atm mid-per-vc command in interface configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

This command is supported on Cisco 7200 and 7500 series routers.

MID numbers are used by receiving devices to reassemble cells from multiple sources into packets.

This command limits the number of discrete messages allowed on the PVC at the same time. It does not limit the number of cells associated with each message.

The maximum set by the atm mid-per-vc command overrides the range between the midhigh and midlow values set by the atm pvc command. If you set a maximum of 16 but a midlow of 0 and a midhigh of 255, only 16 MIDs (not 256) are allowed on the virtual circuit.

Examples

The following example allows 64 MIDs per ATM virtual circuit:

Usage Guidelines

If multipoint signaling is enabled, the router uses existing static map entries that have the broadcast keyword set to establish multipoint calls. One call is established for each logical subnet of each protocol.

All destinations are added to the call. One multicast packet is sent to the ATM switch for each multipoint call. The ATM switch replicates the packet to all destinations.

The atm multipoint-interval command determines how often new destinations can be added to a multipoint call.

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

When configuring an SVC, you must use the atm nsap-address command to define the source NSAP address. It identifies a particular port on the ATM network and must be unique across the network.


Note

When the Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI) is configured, use the atm esi-address command instead of the atm nsap-address command. The atm esi-address and atm nsap-address commands are mutually exclusive. Configuring the router with the atm esi-address command negates the atm nsap-address setting, and vice versa.


Configuring a new address on the interface overwrites the previous address. The router considers the address as a string of bytes and will not prefix or suffix the address with any other strings or digits. The complete NSAP address must be specified, because this value is used in the Calling Party Address Information Element in the SETUP message to establish a virtual circuit.

ATM NSAP addresses have a fixed length of 40 hexadecimal digits. You must configure the complete address in the following dotted format:


xx.xxxx.xx.xxxxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xx

Note

All ATM NSAP addresses should be entered in the dotted hexadecimal format shown above, which conforms to the User-Network Interface (UNI) specification.The dotted method provides some validation that the address is a legal value. If you know your address format is correct, the dots may be omitted.


Examples

In the following example, the source NSAP address for the interface is AB.CDEF.01.234567.890A.BCDE.F012.3456.7890.1234.12:


atm nsap-address AB.CDEF.01.234567.890A.BCDE.F012.3456.7890.1234.12

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

This command disables bandwidth management for service categories other than CBR.

When infinite bandwidth oversubscription is enabled, the interface allows as much bandwidth as possible with no upper limits (except on digital subscriber line (DSL) ATM interfaces, in which oversubscription is a not infinite, but is a factor of 2). The system determines if the ATM link is already oversubscribed. If so, the command is rejected. Otherwise, the total bandwidth available on the link is recorded, and all future connection setup requests are monitored to ensure that the link is not oversubscribed.

The bandwidth allocated for each service category appears in the output of the show atm interface atm command.

The ATM bandwidth manager tracks the bandwidth used by virtual circuits (VCs) on a per-interface basis. Because many services require guaranteed bandwidth (for example, for variable bit rate-real time (VBR-RT), available bit rate (ABR), and CBR), bandwidth management is required. The purpose of the bandwidth manager is to reserve resources for connections that require guaranteed services. Bandwidth management for CBR is turned on automatically for all interfaces supporting CBR. Bandwidth management for other service categories must be turned on by the user. All service categories outside CBR are monitored only if specifically requested.


Note

Because unspecified bit rate (UBR) does not provide guaranteed bandwidth, the bandwidth specified for a UBR connection is not used in any calculations.


Bandwidth checking for a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) is done when that PVC is configured. Bandwidth checking for a switched virtual circuit (SVC) is done when a signaling call is placed or received.

When you use the atm pvp command, the system checks if the specified bandwidth is available on the interface. If the bandwidth available is greater than or equal to the peak rate specified for the Permanent Virtual Path (PVP), the command is accepted; otherwise, the command is rejected.

Within the VC mode, the available bandwidth check will determine whether the bandwidth is already used by the VC to fulfill the request. If the VC being configured is a PVC and belongs to a PVP, the bandwidth available on the PVP is used for the check; otherwise, the bandwidth available on the interface is used for the check.

When services within a VC class are being configured, the check determines whether the new bandwidth requirement can be fulfilled for all VCs using the class (on a per-interface basis) by comparing it with the bandwidth available on the corresponding interface.

Bandwidth checking for an SVC occurs before a SETUP message is sent for an outbound call. If the bandwidth check fails, the SETUP message is not sent. If the bandwidth check passes, the traffic class from which the service category is inherited is updated with the requirements for the new SVC.

When an SVC setup is requested for remotely initiated calls, a bandwidth check occurs as soon as the SETUP message is received. This bandwidth check has two components:

  • Match the bandwidth requested by the remote end with the bandwidth configured locally.

  • Check if bandwidth configured locally can be satisfied currently.

If the bandwidth check fails, a RELEASE message is sent out, and the call is rejected. If the bandwidth check passes, resources are reserved for the VC, and the call is accepted.

Cisco 10000 Series Router

Oversubscription of the ATM interfaces is off by default. Oversubscription of the tunnels (the number and bandwidth of VCs that can be in a tunnel) is on by default and is not subject to any oversubscription factor. Oversubscription of the tunnels cannot be adjusted or turned off. On the Cisco 10000 Series router, to enable the oversubscription feature for a particular interface or tunnel, use the atm over-subscription-factor command (but not the atm oversubscribe command, which can cause undesirable results). To prevent oversubscription of the interface, use the no atm oversubscribe command.

With variable bit rate-nonreal time (VBR-NRT) oversubscription, because of congestion on the physical interface, the accuracy of priority queueing (PQ) and class-based weighted fair queueing (CBWFQ) on individual VCs degrades. For example, if you configure each of three queues at a distribution of 50, 30, and 20 percent, respectively, the actual distribution might be 45, 40, and 15 percent, respectively. The distribution of bandwidth for each VC might be less than expected based on the speed of the VC. Typically, low-speed VCs are allocated the expected bandwidth, and high-speed VCs share the remaining bandwidth equally. The amount of bandwidth allocated for the PQ or latency might be less than expected.

Examples

The following example enables the oversubscription feature:


Router(config)# interface atm 4/0/0
Router(config-if)# atm oversubscribe
Router(config-if)# exit

The following example displays the available bandwidth in kbps after the router enters VC mode. In this example, the available bandwidth is 139,000 kbps:

Usage Guidelines

Resource limitations on Cisco xDSL interfaces require a way to configure bandwidth oversubscription up to a defined bandwidth (a finite oversubscription of bandwidth). For this requirement, the atm oversubscribe factor command is used. A DSL ATM interface supports only an oversubscribe factor of 2.

Oversubscription is allowed on variable bit rate real time class (VBR-rt), variable bit rate non-real time class (VBR-nrt), and unspecified bit rate plus (UBR+) permanent virtual circuits (PVCs). With oversubscription enabled, multiple VBR-rt, VBR-nrt, and UBR+ PVCs can be configured even when the sum of their sustainable cell rates (SCRs) exceeds the actual bandwidth available over the physical line. For example, if oversubscription is enabled and an oversubscription factor of 2 is set for a line rate of 2304 kbps, the sum of SCRs and minimum desired cell rates of VBR-rt, VBR-nrt, and UBR+ PVCs must be less than or equal to 4608 kbps, excluding the constant bit rate (CBR) PVC bandwidth.

An oversubscription factor of 2 is used internally; that is, VBR and UBR+ PVCs with a sum of SCRs up to twice the current line rate are valid. If you configure VBR-rt, VBR-nrt, or UBR+ for more than the configured oversubscription factor, the PVCs will be configured when bandwidth is available. But when no oversubscription bandwidth is available, a PVC is downgraded to an unspecified bit rate (UBR) (CBR PVCs are not affected, however); in this state, if you try to configure VBR or UBR+ PVCs beyond the line rate, the new PVCs will be downgraded to UBR state. If you have no oversubscription configured, each virtual circuit (VC) receives up to its configured SCR value of traffic, and VCs with higher SCR values receive more bandwidth. For example, if VC1 is a VBR-rt PVC configured with peak cell rate (PCR) and SCR line rates of 2304 kbps (command vbr-rt 2304 2304 ), VC2 is a VBR-nrt PVC configured with PCR and SCR line rates of 2000 kbps (command vbr-nrt 2000 2000 ), and VC3 has PCR and SCR line rates of 496 kbps (command vbr-rt 496 496 ), then when no oversubscription bandwidth is available, VC1 and VC 2 are configured with the specified PCR and SCR line rates, but VC3 is downgraded to UBR class.

If the DSL line rate goes down and comes back up with less than the trained rate (based on the trained bandwidth PVCs) and no bandwidth is left, some PVCs might be downgraded to UBR class.

The value of the oversubscription factor determines the maximum bandwidth that is configured, which is the sum of SCRs for all VBR-rt, VBR-nrt, and UBR+. PVCs. To disable oversubscription, the total configured bandwidth of CBR, VBR-rt, VBR-nrt, and UBR+ must not exceed actual trained bandwidth. The CBR bandwidth is counted when disabling oversubscription.

With oversubscription disabled, a PVC can be configured only up to the line rate. For example, if the line rate is 2304 kbps, the SCR or PCR of a VBR PVC cannot be more than 2304 kbps (assuming there are no other PVCs). If there is another PVC, such as a CBR PVC with a PCR of 500 kbps, that line rate is subtracted, and the maximum SCR or PCR allowed on the VBR PVC is 1804 kbps.

The first time VBR-rt, VBR-nrt, or UBR+ PVCs are configured with the oversubscription factor enabled, the available bandwidth is checked. If the required bandwidth is available, the service class commands (vbr-rt , vbr-nrt , and ubr+ ) are accepted. If there is not enough requested bandwidth, the service class commands are rejected, and the PVC state will be UP with service class set to UBR.

After VBR-rt, VBR-nrt, or UBR+ PVCs are configured, a dynamic line rate modification occurs when the atm oversubscribe factor command is enabled. The available bandwidth is checked, and if the required amount is available, the PVC state will be UP with the configured service class. If there is not enough bandwidth, the PVC state will be UP with service class UBR.

DSL ATM interfaces do not support switched virtual circuits (SVCs).

Examples

The following example shows how to set oversubscription on the link by a factor of 2.


interface ATM0/0
 no ip address

Usage Guidelines

Restrictions and Limitations for Interface Oversubscription

Because of a mismatch of rates between the packet scheduler and the network, interface oversubscription can degrade system performance during congestion.

With oversubscription, network congestion can occur if all of the network capacity is used concurrently. However, the risk is low if you avoid oversubscribing a network that is likely to congest and if you do not oversubscribe a service excessively.

The router uses the atm over-subscription-factor command in conjunction with the atm oversubscribe command to enable or disable oversubscription for a particular interface. When enabling ATM oversubscription for a particular interface, specify the atm over-subscription-factor command. Do not use the atm oversubscribe command to enable oversubscription, because this can cause undesirable results.

An ATM variable bit rate (VBR) VC uses the sustained cell rate (SCR) to define the VC’s average transmission rate. Therefore, use the atm over-subscription-factor command, but not the service-policy command, to specify the ATM VC oversubscription.

Because the oversubscription of VBR-nrt VCs requires resources from the entire line card, apply the atm over-subscription-factor command on all ports of the ATM interface (for example, the 4-port OC-3 ATM line card). If you enable oversubscription on only one port, the other ports might use more resources than they were configured to use. As a result, some ports might not receive adequate resources, which would cause VC creation failures.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an ATM interface with an oversubscription factor of 500:


Router(config)# interface atm 4/0/0
Router(config-if)# atm oversubscribe
Router(config-if)# atm over-subscription-factor 500

The following example shows how to disable oversubscription of the ATM 4/0/0 interface to prevent oversubscription of the interface:


Router(config)# interface atm 4/0/0
Router(config-if)# no atm oversubscribe

12.2(28)SB

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB.

Usage Guidelines

The atm pppatm passive command places PPP over ATM (PPPoA) sessions on an ATM subinterface in “listening” mode. Rather than trying to establish the sessions actively by sending out Link Control Protocol (LCP) packets, these sessions listen to the incoming LCP packets and become active only after they have received their first LCP packet. This feature is useful for L2TP access concentrators (LACs) in the broadband access deployments where thousands of PPPoA sessions are configured on LACs. When PPPoA is in the passive mode, the LAC brings up the sessions only when the subscribers become active and not use its processing power on polling all sessions.

For better scalability and faster convergence of PPP sessions, you should set the PPPoA sessions to passive mode at the LAC.

Cisco 10000 Series Router

For better scalability and faster convergence of PPPoA, PPP over Ethernet over ATM (PPPoEoA), or LAC sessions, set the sessions to passive mode.

You must use the atm pppatm passive command for large-scale PPP terminated aggregation (PPPoA and PPPoEoA) and Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol (L2TP) access concentrator (LAC). Instead of sending out LCP packets to establish the sessions actively, the sessions listen to the incoming LCP packets and become active only after they receive their first LCP packet. When PPPoX is in the passive mode, the LAC brings up the sessions only when the subscribers become active and does not use processing power polling all sessions.

Examples

The following example configures the passive mode for the PPPoA sessions on an ATM subinterface:


Router(config)# interface atm 1/0.1 multipoint
Router(config-subif)# atm pppatm passive
Router(config-subif)# range range-pppoa-1 pvc 100 199
Router(config-subif-atm-range)# protocol ppp virtual-template 1

no atm pvp vpi

Cisco 10000 Series Router

atm pvp vpi [peak-rate] [cdvt [no-f4-oam] | no-f4-oam]

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. Because it has local significance only, the VPI value is unique only on a single link, not throughout the ATM network. The VPI value must match that of the switch.

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

peak-rate

(Optional) 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.

l2transport

(Optional) Specifies that the PVP is for the Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) ATM cell relay feature or the ATM Cell Relay over L2TPv3 feature.

cdvt

(Optional) Cell delay variation tolerance (CDVT) in tenths of a microsecond. The range is 1 to 7140.

12.2(31)SB

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SB.

Usage Guidelines

This command is commonly used to create a PVP that is used to multiplex circuit emulation service (CES) and data VCs.

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 argument 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 value causes the ATM-CES port adapter to go down and then back up.

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.

When you use the l2transport keyword with the atm pvp command, the router enters l2transport PVP configuration mode. You must issue the l2transport keyword to configure the ATM cell relay over multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) feature in port mode or to configure the ATM cell relay over L2TPv3 feature.

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

Examples

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


interface atm 6/0
 atm pvp 1 2000
 atm pvc 13 1 13 aal5snap
 exit
interface cbr 6/1
 ces circuit 0
 ces pvc 9 interface atm6/0 vpi 1 vci 100

atm rate-queue

To create a permanent rate queue or specify a rate queue tolerance, use the atm rate-queue command in interface configuration mode. To remove a rate queue or rate queue tolerance, use the no form of this command.

atm rate-queue {queue-number speed | tolerance svc [pvc] tolerance-value [strict]}

no atm rate-queue {queue-number speed | tolerance svc [pvc] tolerance-value [strict]}

Syntax Description

queue-number

Queue number in the range 0 through 7 on the ATM Interface Processor (AIP) for Cisco 7500 series routers, and in the range 0 through 3 on the network processing module (NPM) for Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers.

On the AIP, queues 0 through 3 are in the high-priority bank, and queues 4 through 7 are in the low-priority bank. Queues in the same priority bank have the same priority; for example, queues 0 and 3 have the same priority. On the NPM, all 4 queues have the same priority.

speed

Speed in megabits per second (Mbps) in the range from 1 through 155. The maximum speed is determined by the detected physical layer inteface module (PLIM) type on the AIP or NPM:

  • 34 Mbps for E3

  • 45 Mbps for DS-3

  • 100 Mbps for Transparent Asynchronous Transmitter/Receiver Interface (TAXI)

  • 155 Mbps for Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)

tolerance

Specifies that you want to use a rate queue tolerance value.

svc

Specifies that the tolerance-value will be applied to SVCs.

pvc

(Optional) If specified, the tolerance-value will be applied to PVCs.

tolerance-value

A tolerance level expressed as a percentage used for assigning rate queues for each virtual circuit (VC) with a requested peak rate. This value is applied to switched virtual circuits (SVCs), discovered VCs, and permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) (when the pvc keyword is used). This value can be 0 or 5 through 99. For SVCs and discovered VCs, the default value is 10. For PVCs, the default value is 0.

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

If a PVC or SVC is created, and its rate queue does not match a permanent rate queue that was created using the atm-rate queue queue-number speed command, one of the following will occur:

  • The PVC or SVC will use an existing rate queue if the PVC’s or SVC’s rate queue falls within the tolerance-value specified.

  • The software will dynamically create a new and unique rate queue if the PVC or SVC does not fall within a previously configured rate-queue tolerance.

If you do not create permanent rate queues or if you create PVCs with peak or average rates that are not matched by the rate queues you configure, the software dynamically creates rate queues as necessary to satisfy the requests of the atm pvc commands.

You can create multiple rate queues. A warning message appears if all rate queues are deconfigured or if the combined rate queues exceed the PLIM rate.

Examples

The following example configures a permanent rate queue with a queue-number of 1 and a speed of 100 Mbps:

Usage Guidelines

This command is supported on the Cisco 7500 series routers, Cisco 4500 routers, and Cisco 4700 routers. This command is not supported on the ATM port adapter.

If strict traffic shaping is configured on the router ATM interface, then an SVC is established only if traffic shaping can be provided for the transmit cell flow according to the signaled traffic parameters. If such shaping cannot be provided, the SVC is released.

If strict traffic shaping is not configured on the router ATM interface, an attempt is made to establish an SVC with traffic shaping for the transmit cell flow according to the signaled traffic parameters. If such shaping cannot be provided, the SVC is installed with default shaping parameters (it behaves as though a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) were created without specifying traffic parameters).

The signalling SETUP message carries the forward and backward traffic parameters. For connections initiated by the source router, traffic is shaped to the SETUP message forward parameters. For connections initiated by another router or host, traffic is shaped to the backward parameters.

Examples

The following example allows an SVC to be established on an ATM interface using only signaled traffic parameters:

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(14)SX to support OSM ATM interfaces.

12.2(18)SXE

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SXE to support ATM shared port adapters (SPAs) on the Cisco 7600 series routers and Catalyst 6500 series switches. The none [ignore ] option was also added to support one-way applications.

12.2(33)SRA

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

The atm sonet report command enables one or more of the possible SONET alarms that can be generated by the ATM interface. By default, only the PLOP, SLOF, and SLOS alarms are enabled, but you can enable the other alarms or all alarms, as well. You can also disable one or all of the alarms using the no form of the command.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable the alarm for B1 threshold crossings:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# interface atm 3/1/1

Router(config-if)# atm sonet report b1-tca

Router(config-if)# end

Router#

The following example shows multiple SONET alarms being enabled for an ATM interface:


Router# configure terminal
 
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/1
 
Router(config-if)# atm sonet report b1-tca 
Router(config-if)# atm sonet report b2-tca 
Router(config-if)# atm sonet report b3-tca 
Router(config-if)# atm sonet report plop 
Router(config-if)# atm sonet report sf-ber 
Router(config-if)# atm sonet report slof 
Router(config-if)# atm sonet report slos 
Router(config-if)# end
 
Router# 

The following example shows an ATM interface being configured to ignore all ATM SONET alarms, so as to allow transmit-only operation. This example shows the error message that appears if you attempt to give this command when an IP address is configured on the interface. To resolve the problem, you must first remove the IP address and then repeat the command.


Router# configure terminal
 
Router(config)# interface atm 3/1/1
 
Router(config-if)# ip address 192.168.100.12 255.255.255.0
 
Router(config-if)# atm sonet report none ignore 
%Configuration is not allowed: IP address is already configured on ATM3/1/1 
Router(config-if)# no ip address 192.168.100.12 255.255.255.0
 
Router(config-if)# atm sonet report none ignore 
Router(config-if)# 

Note

When an ATM interface is configured to ignore ATM SONET alarms, you cannot then configure any IP (Layer 3) parameters on the interface. If you attempt to do so, the CLI displays the following error message: %Configuration is not allowed: <interface> is already configured to ignore alarms


atm sonet stm-1

To set the mode of operation and thus control type of ATM cell used for cell-rate decoupling on the SONET physical layer interface module (PLIM) , use the atm sonet stm-1 command in interface configuration mode. To restore the default Synchronous Transport Signal level 3, concatenated (STS-3c) operation, use the no form of this command.

This command was introduced.

12.2(33)SRA

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

Use STM-1 in applications where the ATM switch requires “idle cells” for rate adaptation. An idle cell contains 31 zeros followed by a one. STM-1 is defined as a Synchronous Digital Hierarchy/Synchronous Transport Signal level 1 (SDH/STM-1) operation (ITU-T specification).

Use the default (STS-3c) in applications where the ATM switch requires “unassigned cells” for rate adaptation. An unassigned cell contains 32 zeros.

Examples

The following example specifies ATM SONET STM-1:
