Displaying FRSM Card Features

Use the dspfeature command to display the features supported on FRSM cards. Some FRSM cards are available in channelized and nonchannelized versions, and all FRSM cards support the rate control feature for standard ABR and ForeSight services. ForeSight is supported only on PXM1 platforms.

The FRSM-8T1 and FRSM-8E1 cards are available in channelized and nonchannelized versions. The nonchannelized versions are labeled FRSM-8T1 and FRSM-8E1 on the front of the cards, and the channelized versions are labeled FRSM-8T1-C and FRSM-8E1-C. However, the CLI prompt on the FRSM card and the output of the dspcds (supported on the PXM1, PXM1E, or PXM45 controller card) and dspcd (supported on the FRSM card) commands do not differentiate between the channelized and nonchannelized versions.

To determine if a FRSM-8T1 or FRSM-8E1 is a nonchannelized or channelized version using the CLI, enter the dspfeature command as shown in the following example: 

PXM1E_SJ.1.30.FRSM.a > dspfeature


  Channelized:  On

  Rate Control:  On

This example also shows that rate control is supported on the FRSM card.

The FRSM-2CT3 card also supports channelized T1 lines. Normally, this feature is enabled. If the channelization feature is turned off on the FRSM-2CT3 card, the T1 lines support only fractional T1 ports.

Managing MPSM Feature Licenses

Some features on the MPSM-8T1E1 card are enabled by the use of feature licenses. These feature licenses reside on the PXM processor in a license pool until allocated to the MPSM card.

The following sections provide procedures for doing the following:

•Displaying MPSM Feature Licenses

•Moving MPSM Feature Licenses

•Allocating MPSM Feature Licenses

•Managing MPSM Feature License Alarms

Note To install spare feature licenses into the PXM license pool, transfer feature licenses from one switch to another switch, and rekey feature licenses, refer to the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, and Cisco MGX 8830 Configuration Guide, Release 5 and the Release Notes for Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco MGX 8250, and Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1) Switches, Release 1.3.10.

Displaying MPSM Feature Licenses

Use the dspliccd command to display the details of feature licenses that are needed, that have been allocated from the PXM license pool, or that have been programmed into the NVRAM of the MPSM-8T1E1 card.

The rate control feature license is the only feature license available for the MPSM-8T1E1 card. This feature license is used by the MPSM-8T1E1 card when configured for Frame Relay services. A rate control feature license is required to provision standard ABR and ForeSight services. ForeSight is supported only on PXM1 platforms.

In the following example, a standard ABR connection has been provisioned on an MPSM-8T1-FRM card. The displiccd command shows that one rate control feature license was needed and that one rate control feature license has been allocated to the MPSM card from the PXM license pool in order to provision the connection successfully: 

M8850_SF.1.28.MPSM8T1.FRM.a > dspliccd

Card License Alarm:              None

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


M8850_SF.1.28.MPSM8T1.FRM.a >

This example also shows that no feature licenses have been programmed into the NVRAM of the MPSM card.

Moving MPSM Feature Licenses

If a feature license is purchased at the same time as the MPSM card, that license can be programmed into the NVRAM on the MPSM card. When a feature license is programmed on an MPSM card, the license is unavailable to that MPSM card and all other cards on the switch. To enable use of the programmed feature license, it must be moved from the MPSM card and installed in the switch license pool, which is a database on the PXM processor card.

The movelic command is used to move feature licenses programmed on MPSM cards into the switch license pool on the PXM processor card.

To move feature licenses, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Enter the dspliccd command to view the feature licenses that have been programmed on the MPSM card: 

M8250_SJ.1.22.MPSM8T1.FRM.a > dspliccd

Card License Alarm:            None

Service Module Type:           MPSM8T1E1

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


M8250_SJ.1.22.MPSM8T1.FRM.a >

In this example, the output of the dspliccd command shows that one Rate Control feature license has been programmed into the NVRAM on the MPSM card.

Step 2 Enter the movelic command to move the feature licenses programmed on the MPSM card to the switch license pool on the PXM processor card: 

M8250_SJ.1.22.MPSM8T1.FRM.a > movelic

------------------------------------------------

Programmed License Type          #Programmed

-----------------------          -----------

Rate-Control                      1


Do you want to proceed (Yes/No)? Yes


Card Licenses have been moved to license pool.


M8250_SJ.1.22.MPSM8T1.FRM.a >

After the feature licenses are moved from the MPSM card and installed in the switch license pool on the PXM processor card, the feature licenses are available for use by the MPSM cards installed in that switch.

Step 3 When feature licenses are moved from the NVRAM on the MPSM card to the PXM license pool, the process is also referred to as registration of licenses with the switch.

Enter the dspliccd command to verify feature license registration into the switch license pool: 

M8250_SJ.1.22.MPSM8T1.FRM.a > dspliccd

Card License Alarm:            None

Service Module Type:           MPSM8T1E1

------------------------          -------------------

Rate-Control                      1


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

Programmed License Registered: YES

License registration node: M8250_SJ

License registration chassis: SCA05020GGR

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


M8250_SJ.1.22.MPSM8T1.FRM.a >

This example shows that the Rate Control feature license has been registered, the name of the switch where the license has been registered, and the chassis serial number of the switch where the feature license has been registered.

Step 4 Enter the dsplics command on the PXM processor card to view the MPSM feature licenses installed in the PXM license pool: 

M8250_SJ.1.7.PXM.a > dsplics

Licensed           License      Licenses   Licenses   Licenses

Card Type          Type         Installed  Allocated  Available

-----------------  -----------  ---------  ---------  ---------

MPSM-8T1E1         RateControl  1          0          1 


M8250_SJ.1.7.PXM.a >

In this example, one Rate Control feature license has been successfully moved from the MPSM-8T1E1 card into the PXM license pool.

Allocating MPSM Feature Licenses

To allocate a feature license to an MPSM card, configure the card to use the licensed feature.

For example, to allocate a rate control feature license to an MPSM card using Frame Relay services, add a standard ABR connection using the addcon command. If the license pool on the PXM card has an available license for that feature and MPSM card type, that license is automatically allocated to the MPSM card and the feature is successfully configured.

If you try to configure an MPSM card to use a feature for which no licenses are available, the configuration attempt will fail. Once a license is allocated to the MPSM card, it is no longer available for use by other MPSM cards until it returns to the license pool.

Managing MPSM Feature License Alarms

MPSM feature license alarms can occur at the node level or the slot level of the switch. The following sections describe these alarms:

•Node License Alarm

•Slot License Alarms

Node License Alarm

Node license alarms can happen under the following conditions:

•A switch configuration that was saved before licenses were added or transferred to and from the PXM license pool has been restored. Any mismatch between the actual license count and the restored license count generates a minor license alarm. To prevent this type of alarm, always save the switch configuration after you move, transfer, or add licenses.

•The switch configuration is restored on a different node, or the Cisco MGX chassis is replaced with another chassis. Because licenses are authorized for a specific backplane serial number, such conditions will cause a mismatch between the physical backplane serial number and serial number recorded in the database.

When a node license alarm is raised, all cards that are using feature licenses go into the slot license alarm state. If no licenses are in use by the cards, no slot license alarms will be raised.

On PXM45 and PXM1E platforms, use the PXM dspndalms command to troubleshoot the node license alarm. As shown in the following example on the PXM45 platform, the output of this command will indicate if the switch is in the node license alarm state: 

M8850_SF.8.PXM.a > dspndalms

Node license alarms are cleared by validating licenses in the license pool. This is done by applying the special Rekey feature license to the node using the cnflic command. When the pool licenses are validated, any existing slot license alarms are also cleared and normal operation is restored.

For the procedure to rekey feature licenses, see the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, and Cisco MGX 8830 Configuration Guide, Release 5 and the Release Notes for Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco MGX 8250, and Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1) Switches, Release 1.3.10.

Note If the switch is in node license alarm, you must rekey the PXM license pool before proceeding with any other license management tasks.

Slot License Alarms

Slot license alarms are raised under the following conditions:

•When a node license alarm is raised, all cards that are using feature licenses go into the slot license alarm state. Slot license alarms raised under this condition are cleared by rekeying the PXM license pool.

•The slot in alarm has acquired or oversubscribed one or more licenses while these licenses were not available in the license pool. For example, on the PXM1 platform this situation might occur when a card is configured to use licenses, the card slot configuration is removed with the PXM clrsmcnf command, the licenses are assigned to another card, and then the card slot configuration is restored. Slot license alarms raised under this condition are cleared by adding the required number of licenses to the PXM license pool or by releasing corresponding licenses from other slots so that they become available to the slot in alarm. If slots in alarm have redundancy, you must add licenses to cover both the primary and secondary slots to clear the alarms.

On PXM1E, PXM45, and PXM1 platforms, use the PXM dsplicalms command to troubleshoot slot license alarms. The output of this command will indicate which MPSM cards are in the slot license alarm state.

The following example shows the output of the PXM dsplicalms command on the PXM45 platform. In this example, the MPSM card in slot 28 is in slot license alarm:

For the procedures to rekey feature licenses, recover feature licenses, and add feature licenses to the PXM license pool see the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, and Cisco MGX 8830 Configuration Guide, Release 5 and the Release Notes for Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco MGX 8250, and Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1) Switches, Release 1.3.10.

Note If the switch is in node license alarm, you must rekey the PXM license pool before proceeding with any other license management tasks.

When the switch is in slot license alarm, you have a grace period of 5 days (120 hours) to resolve the alarm(s). During the first 4 days (96 hours), traps are sent every 24 hours. For the final 24 hours of the grace period, traps are sent every hour of operation. If the alarms do not get cleared, the following actions are taken:

•An event is logged indicating the expiration of the grace period for a given slot needing license(s).

•A trap is sent hourly indicating the expiration of the grace period.

•The addcon command is blocked on the slot in license alarm until the license alarms are cleared.

When the PXM license pool has been rekeyed or licenses have been added to the PXM license pool, provisioning is restored and the switch exits the license alarm state.

Managing Lines

"Preparing FRSM and MPSM Lines and Ports for Communications," describes how to bring up (add) and modify FRSM and MPSM card lines. The following sections provide procedures for doing the following:

•Displaying a List of Lines

•Displaying the Configuration for a Single Line

•Bringing Down a Line

•Managing Line Alarms

Note This section provides procedures for some of the most common line management commands. For a complete list of line management commands, refer to Table 6-3 in Chapter 6, "FRSM and MPSM Command Reference."

Displaying a List of Lines

To display a list of lines on a FRSM or MPSM card, enter the dsplns command as follows:

The line number is found in the Line column in the format Slot.Line.

Displaying the Configuration for a Single Line

To display the configuration of a single line on a FRSM or MPSM card, enter the dspln command as follows: 

PXM1E_SJ.1.30.FRSM.a > dspln <line>

Enter the line number with the command. You can view the available line numbers in the dsplns display.

The following example shows the information you can display with the dspln command on a FRSM card:

Bringing Down a Line

When a line is not working properly, it generates a line alarm. If you want to suppress the alarm and you do not have time to correct the problem, you can bring down the line. Bringing down the line takes it out of service, so no alarms are generated.

Tip You can reduce the level of an alarm on a failed line from major to minor by using the addlnloop command to place the line in local loopback mode. This does not completely eliminate the alarm, but it does reduce the severity and allow you to preserve the configured resources for that line.

To bring down a line, use the following procedure.

Step 1 Delete all connections that are associated with the line (dspcons and delcon commands).

Tip Connections are associated with ports (dspcons), and ports are associated with lines (dspports). To determine which connections use a line, first determine which ports are configured for that line.

Step 2 Delete all ports that are associated with the line (delport command).

Tip When a port is deleted, the resource partition associated with that port is also deleted at the same time. Therefore, it is not necessary to delete the port resource partition prior to deleting the port.

Step 3 Enter the delln command as follows: 

PXM1E_SJ.1.30.FRSM.a > delln <line>

Enter the line number with the command. You can view the available line numbers in the dsplns display.

The following example shows how to use the delln command: 

PXM1E_SJ.1.11.VHSHS2B.a > delln 8


PXM1E_SJ.1.11.VHSHS2B.a >

Managing Line Alarms

FRSM and MPSM cards generate line alarms when errors occur as specified in ANSI T1.231. The significance of the different types of alarms appears in Table 5-2.

Note When the line is in alarm, the line alarm trap is sent. There are no separate traps sent for the ports or for the connections that go into alarm due to the line alarm. Similarly when the port is in alarm, the port alarm trap is sent and no separate traps are sent for the connections that go into alarm due to the port alarm.

Use the commands in table Table 5-3 to display, clear, and configure FRSM and MPSM line alarms.

Table 5-3 FRSM and MPSM Line Alarm Commands 

Command
Purpose

dspalm

Enter this command to display the active alarms associated with a specific line.

dspalms

Enter this command to display a summary of the active line alarms.

dspalmcnf

Enter this command to display the alarm configuration and thresholds for a specific line.

dspalmcnt

Enter this command to display the alarm counters for a specific line.

clralm

Enter this command to clear any active alarms on a specific line (Alarms will not clear if the cause for the alarm is still present).

clralms

Enter this command to clear active alarms on all lines (Alarms will not clear if the cause for the alarm is still present).

clralmcnt

Enter this command to clear the alarm counters for a specific line.

xcnfalm

Enter this command to modify alarm counters, thresholds, and statistics for a specific line.


Managing Ports

"Preparing FRSM and MPSM Lines and Ports for Communications," describes how to add logical ports to the lines on FRSM and MPSM cards. The following sections provide procedures for doing the following:

•Displaying a List of Ports

•Displaying the Status of a Single Port

•Deleting Ports

•Monitoring Port Statistics

Displaying a List of Ports

To display a list of provisioned ports on the FRSM or MPSM card, enter the dspports command as follows: 

PXM1E_SJ.1.30.FRSM.a > dspports


    Port   Ena/Speed EQServ  SignalType  T391 T392 N391 N392 N393   Type   Alarm ELMI

  PortDs0UsedLine8:             0x00000000

  PortNumNextAvailable:         1

The port number is found in the Port column in the format Slot.Line.Port. To determine if a port is in alarm, check the status in the Alarm column. For more information on a single port, use the dspport command.

Displaying the Status of a Single Port

To display the configuration and status of a single provisioned port on the FRSM or MPSM card, enter the dspport command as follows: 

PXM1E_SJ.1.30.FRSM.a > dspport <port>

Enter the port number with the command. You can view the provisioned port numbers in the dspports display. The following example shows the dspport display for port 3. 

PXM1E_SJ.1.30.FRSM.a > dspport 3


  SlotNum:                      30

  PortLineNum:                  3

  PortNum:                      3
