Making Frame Relay Connections

Step 10 Determine which Frame Relay class number to use when you add connections to a port. To see the parameters that a class specifies, use the dspfrcls command. To modify parameters in a class, use the cnffrcls.

Step 11 Add connections to the port by using the addcon command. Enter the slot number and specify a DLCI for each end of the connection.

Step 12 For an individual connection, you can configure bandwidth parameters or enable

ForeSight (if purchased) by using the cnffrcon.

Step 13 Optionally, you can set the channel priority by using the Configure Channel Priority cnfchpri command. Normally, the system-default priority is adequate.

Commands for T1/E1 Frame Relay

To specify logical ports on a T1 or E1 interface, use addfrport. The addfrport command assigns a logical port number to a group of one or more DS0s/timeslots. The slot number and the lowest number in the user-specified DS0/timeslot group form the logical port number. Use the logical port number to activate a port (upfrport), add connections (addcon), or display statistics (dspportstats). For example, after you add logical port 14.1-6 (6 DS0s/timeslots) with addfrport, you activate (or up) this logical port by entering “ upfrport 14.1.” Use dspfrport to display logical ports.

Deleting a Frame Relay Port

Executing delfrport dissolves any groups of DS0s/timeslots and unassigns all DS0s/timeslots on the logical port. To delete a logical port:

Step 1 Delete any connections on the port with delcon.

Step 2 Delete the logical port with delfrport.

Step 3 You can deactivate the logical port with dnfrport.

Step 4 You can deactivate the physical line with dnln.

Making Alarm Relay Output Connections

To install an alarm relay module (ARM) card set:

Step 1 At the back of the IGX node, identify the slot where the ARI card is to reside.

Step 2 Install the ARM in the front slot and use the card extractors to help secure card.

Step 3 Install the ARI in the corresponding back slot. Use the extractor handles to help secure the card then tighten the captive screws by hand.

Step 4 Note that the FAIL LED on the ARM is off. The ACTIVE LED is also off.

Step 5 Attach a 22- or 24-gauge cable with the appropriate number of pairs to a male DB-37 connector at one end. Typically, a 12-pair cable is adequate. Connect this cable to the DB-37 connector on the ARI and tighten the captive screws.

See the section “Initial Startup of the IGX” on page 46, when the system is ready for power.

The steps that follow show how to set up an ARM card set after the physical installation is complete. This is done from the IGX control terminal or the Cisco WAN Manager workstation. For details on each command used, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference.

Step 1 Verify that the node is equipped with the proper ARM front card and ARI back card by using the dspcds command. This will show in which slot they are located.
