Introduction

All of the configuration examples in this section illustrate designs where data enters and leaves a Service Module, gets switched on the local Processor Switching Module (PXM), and leaves and enters through a feeder trunk on the PXM. The BPX 8600, attached to the MGX 8250, switches the ATM cells to either another feeder-attached MGX 8250, ATM-attached customer premises equipment (CPE), or a feeder-attached MGX 8220.

This document is part six of a six document set:

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions described the MGX 8250/8230 Configuration Cookbook Introduction.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

For more information on document conventions, refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.

FRSM-8T1-to-FRSM-8T1 Three-Segment Connection

In this example, IP connectivity is established between two Cisco 3620 routers. Each router attaches though its T1 WAN interface card (WIC) (serial 0/0) to physical line 1 on a Frame Relay Service Module (FRSM)-8T1 in slot 11 on two different MGX 8250 nodes. Connections are built from the FRSM cards to feeder trunks on the respective PXM cards. A connection is then built from trunk to trunk on the BPX.

Note: To find additional information on the commands used in this document, use the Command Lookup Tool ( registered customers only) .

Configuring the FRSM Interfaces

In order to configure the FRSM interfaces, you need to enable the physical line, enable a logical port on the line, and adjust the parameters as necessary.

Building the FRSM-to-Trunk Connections

In this example, the type of interworking and the virtual path identifier (VPI)/virtual channel identifier (VCI) values to use on the trunk interface are specified. Once the connection is configured, adjust policing on the channel.

Caveats

  • Since the FRSM defaults to no signaling and the routers default to Gang of Four (also known as Cisco LMI), the two devices will not communicate until they both agree on a protocol.

  • It is necessary to match the shaping and policing parameters to prevent data loss.

CESM-8E1-to-CESM-8E1 UDT Three-Segment Connection

In this example, an IP over High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) connection is built between the E1 multiflex trunk module (MFT) ports on two Cisco 3810 routers using a Circuit Emulation Service (CES) Unstructured Data Transport (UDT) connection to transport the E1 circuit. Note that the E1 MFT ports will only take timing from their internal clock. Using unstructured data transfer (UDT), we can take advantage of the adaptive clocking mechanism to reduce the clock slips that will eventually occur. We have also configured the Circuit Emulation Service Module (CESM) ports for framing on VC disconnect to will keep the lines up if the ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC) goes down. This is not the ideal configuration for a router if you want to use alternate routes.

Caveats

  • Be sure take note of the timing. The E1 ports on the Cisco 3810 units will take internal timing only. The unstructured circuit emulation connection type allows you to choose between synchronous, Synchronous Residual Time Stamp (SRTS), and adaptive timing mechanisms. These examples uses adaptive timing to adjust to timing differences on the two edge devices.

CESM-T3-to-CESM-T3 Three-Segment Connection

In this recipe, the CESM-T3 cards are used in slot 14 of both MGX 8250 nodes to connect the two unchannelized serial DS3 port adapters on a pair of routers. IP connectivity is established between the routers using the default HDLC layer 2 encapsulation.

!--- Look at channel statistics for the BPX connection.

This output is a little troubling. Both Serial DS3 port adapters (PAs) are taking clock timing from the line (CESM-T3), and the CESM lines are supposedly timed from the backplane. Also, each node should be clocking from the connected feeder trunk. Since both the node and feeder truck emanate from the same BPX, the cell rates should be the same on both ends.

Caveats

  • CESM-T3 is running beta code in this example, so it may not work correctly.

  • Firmware supports only synchronous timing, so be sure to take timing from the same source.

  • Only one T3 line is supported on the CESM-T3.

AUSM-8T1-to-AUSM-8T1 Three-Segment Connection

In this example, IP connectivity is established between the MFT (controller T1 0) interfaces on two MC3810 routers. The MFT ports are provisioned for ATM encapsulation. The cells are received on the MGX 8250 switches through AUSM-8T1/B service modules. Connections on the ATM user service module (AUSM) cards switch the cells through the PXM feeder trunks to the BPX where they are switched between feeder trunks.

Configuring the AUSM Interfaces

In order to configure the AUSM interface, you need to enable the physical line, enable a logical port on the line, and adjust parameters as necessary. Also, enable payload scrambling on the line.

Configuring the Router Interfaces

For the router interface, supply the appropriate physical, data-link, and network layer parameters. Since both Cisco 3810s are equipped with MFT and digital voice module (DVM) T1 interfaces, be sure to set the proper clocking. Clock the device off of the interface that connects to the AUSM (controller T1 0). Configure the ATM interface for payload scrambling.

Caveats

  • Remember to set usage parameter control (UPC) on all AUSM connections or your data will most likely not be policed to your needs.

  • On a Cisco 3810 equipped with both a DVM and an MFT, configure the box to take timing from most of the interfaces. If you configure the MFT to take timing from the line and you configure the box to take timing from the MFT, then you need to configure the DVM so that the box cannot take timing from the DVM line (for example, configure DVM to time internal).

  • There is no need to set IP MTU for OSPF compatibility because both interfaces have the same MTU of 1500.

FRSM-2CT3-to-AUSM-8T1 PPP-ATM-IMA Three-Segment Connection

In this configuration example, a standard PPP-to-ATM connection is built using a FRSM card to convert the PPP frames to ATM cells. The AUSM card then passes the cells to an ATM router capable of handling the conversion. However, the ATM connection between the AUSM and the router is actually an Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA) bundle that terminates on an IMA port adapter on a Cisco 7200.

Configuring the FRSM-2CT3 Interface

The channelized T3 FRSM requires us to first add the DS3 line, configure the associated parameters, and then go down to the DS1 level. Since this is a PPP to ATM connection, it is only necessary to set the port in frame forwarding mode, because the data is going between the flags and being shipped out.

Verifying the Configuration

First, use the show ipx route command to view the contents of the IPX routing table. Next, use the ping command to verfy that you have a good connection.

Codes: C - Connected primary network,    c - Connected secondary network
       S - Static, F - Floating static, L - Local (internal), W - IPXWAN

       s - seconds, u - uses, U - Per-user static

Caveats

  • At this point, the DS3 on the FRSM-2CT3 will accept only a local clock configuration.

  • Use Frame Forwarding mode for PPP-ATM connections.

  • Remember to set the UPC parameters on all AUSM connections or your data will most likely not be policed to your needs.

  • The Cisco 7200 router is running Cisco IOS 12.0(4)XE for the IMA card. This is a pre-first customer shipped (FCS) image, so beware of possible bugs.
