Introduction


On the Cisco MGX 8850, MGX 8950, and MGX 8880 switches, the PXM card is the controller card that controls the other cards on the switch. The other cards on the switch are called service modules. AXSM cards are service modules. AXSM stands for ATM Switching Service Module. The AXSM cards covered in this manual are the AXSM/A, AXSM/B, AXSM-E, AXSM-XG, and AXSM-32-T1E1-E cards.

There are also other types of service module cards for the Cisco MGX 8850, MGX 8950, and MGX 8880 switches, but they are not covered in this manual.

The PXM cards are not covered in this manual. For information about the PXM cards, refer to the following documents:

Release Notes for Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, and Cisco MGX 8830 Switches, Release 5.2.00

This manual provides a software configuration guide that explains how to configure the AXSM cards for production and a command reference, which describes each AXSM command in detail. This manual is divided into three chapters as follows:

"Introduction"

"Preparing AXSM Lines for Communication"

Chapter 3, "Provisioning ATM Services"

Chapter 4, "AXSM Card Management"

Chapter 5, "AXSM Command Reference"

Command Line Interface

Each AXSM card has its own command line interface (CLI), which is similar to the CLIs on the PXMs and the other service modules.

The CLI is the application that allows you to enter the commands that configure the card. You log into the CLI using the appropriate user name and password. For detailed information about user names, passwords, and logging into the CLI, see the Cisco MGX 8800/8900 Series Configuration Guide, Release 5.2.

Once you have logged into the CLI, you will see a CLI prompt such as the following one:

MGX8850.7.PXM.a > 

To change from the CLI of one card to the CLI of another card, use the change card (cc) command. For example:

MGX8850.7.PXM.a > cc 1

(session redirected)

MGX8850.1.AXSM.a > 

CLI Prompt

The format of the CLI prompt is as follows and as described in Table 1-2:

Name.Slot Number.Card Type.Card State >

For example:

MGX8850.1.AXSM.a >

CLI Syntax

This section explains the syntax for using commands in the CLI. The following topics are discussed:

Command Notation

Command Parameters

Command Entry

Command Notation

The notations for the CLI syntax are as follows:

Commands appear in bold, for example: addport

Keywords appear in bold, for example: -ds3

Literal strings appear in bold, for example: yes

Variables appear in italics, for example: bay.line

Required parameters appear within arrowheads (< >), for example: <ifNum>

Optional parameters appear within square brackets ([ ]),
for example: [-minvpi minvpi]

A vertical bar ( | ) represents the logical OR function.

Command Parameters

Parameters act as the arguments for the command. Parameters may consist of variables, keywords, and literal strings.

Commands may include parameters that are keyword-driven or position-dependent.

Position-dependent Parameters

You must type position-dependent parameters in the order they appear in the syntax description. For example, to add a logical port, you must enter the required, position-dependent parameters as follows:

addport <ifNum> <bay.line> <guaranteedRate> <maxrate> <sctID> <ifType> [vpi]

Keyword-driven Parameters

For a keyword-driven parameter, the keyword is preceded by a dash and followed by a variable, for example:

[-timeout secs]

Keyword-driven parameters are usually not position-dependent.

In the following example, the command contains both keyword-driven and position-dependent parameters.

The keyword-driven parameters appear first in a specific order. The keyword-driven parameters can be in any order after that.

delcons <ifNum> <vpi> <vci> [-num num. conns to del] [-verbose 1 | 0 ]

Command Entry

You enter a command by pressing the Return key or Enter key after you have typed the name of the command and all of its parameters in the proper order.

If you enter a command with incorrect parameters or with no parameters (when parameters are required), the CLI displays a message with the correct syntax, parameters, and ranges for the command. The message may also suggest what the problem is.

AXSM Models

Individual AXSM cards are identified by the model number. The model number identifies the number of lines on the card and the rate of speed of the lines. For example, the AXSM-1-2488 has one line that runs at 2488 megabits per second.

An AXSM card is a double-height front card that can have one or two bays in the back to accommodate one or two single-height back cards. The software refers to the upper bay as 1 and lower bay as 2.

Table 1-3 lists the different AXSM models with their back card types, number of lines, number of bays, and number of connections.

In Table 1-3, the number of lines refers to the number of lines on a single back. Therefore, the highest possible number of lines available on the front card is equal to the number of lines on the back multiplied by the number of bays. For example, the AXSM-1-2488 card has one available line and the AXSM-16-155 card has 16 possible lines.

For specifications and illustrations of the AXSM cards, see the applicable hardware installation documentation for the Cisco MGX switch and card. For information on obtaining documentation, see the Obtaining Documentation section in the preface of this document.

Logical Ports

On AXSMs, a logical port is also called a virtual interface and is represented by the ifNum variable. The AXSMS can have the following types of interfaces:

UNI (User-to-Network Interface)

NNI (Network-to-Network Interface)

VNNI (Virtual Network-to-Network Interface)

VUNI (Virtual User-to-Network Interface)

EVUNI (Enhanced Virtual User-to-Network Interface)

EVNNI (Enhanced Virtual Network-to-Network Interface)

On UNI and NNI lines, you can configure only one logical port per line.

On VNNI and VUNI, you can configure multiple ports per line.

On EVNNI and EVUNI you can to specify a range of VPIs for a single interface, and this range of VPIs represents the virtual NNI or virtual UNI trunk.

Multiple VNNIs and EVNNIs can coexist on the same line.

The ranges for the number of logical ports (ifNum) on the AXSMs are as follows:

AXSM: 1-60

AXSM-E: 1-32

AXSM-XG: 1-126
