Chapter 4 Configuring Interfaces
Configuring the ATM Uplink Interface (Catalyst 8540)
SVC Example
In the following example, two switch routers with Layer 3 enabled ATM interfaces are connected by means of SVCs. For SVCs, the
Switch Router A
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0/0
Router(config)#
Switch Router B
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0/0
Router(config)#
Note the following about this configuration:
•The PVC with VPI/VCI 0 5 must be configured for signaling to set up and tear down SVCs.
•The PVC with VPI/VCI 0 16 must be configured for switch management communication using ILMI.
•The first 13 bytes of the ATM NSAP address is the prefix from the switch; the next 6 bytes is the end system identifier (ESI) and must be unique. The last byte is the selector byte and is used in making forwarding decisions.
Verifying the ATM Configuration
To verify the configuration on the ATM uplink interface, use the following commands:
Command | Purpose |
|
|
show interfaces atm | Displays current |
|
|
show atm vc [vcd] | Displays current information about VCs and traffic. You can specify a |
| VCD to display information about. |
|
|
show atm traffic | Displays information about global traffic to and from all ATM networks |
| connected to the switch router. |
|
|
show controllers atm | Displays clock source, SONET alarms and error rates, and register values |
| to assist in troubleshooting. |
