Chapter 4 Configuring Interfaces

Configuring the ATM Uplink Interface (Catalyst 8540)

Configuring SONET Alarms

The ATM OC-12c and the ATM OC-3c uplink interfaces support SONET alarm monitoring. To configure alarm monitoring, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

Router(config)# interface atm

Enters interface configuration mode and specifies the ATM

 

slot/subslot/interface

interface to configure.

 

Router(config-if)#

 

Step 2

 

 

Router(config-if)# sonet report

Permits console logging of selected SONET alarms.

 

{b1-tca b2-tca b3-tca lais

The alarms are as follows:

 

lrdi pais plm-p plop prdi

 

b1-tca(B1 bit error rate [BER] threshold crossing alarm)

 

rdool sd-ber sf-ber slof slos

 

tim-p uneq-p}

b2-tca(B2 BER threshold crossing alarm)

 

 

 

 

b3-tca(B3 BER threshold crossing alarm)

 

 

lais (line alarm indication signal)

 

 

lrdi (line remote defect indication)

 

 

pais (path alarm indication signal)

 

 

plm-p(payload label, C2 mismatch alarm)

 

 

plop (path loss of pointer), prdi (path remote defect

 

 

indication)

 

 

rdool (receive data out of lock)

 

 

sd-ber(LBIP BER in excess of threshold)

 

 

sf-ber(signal failure BER)

 

 

slof (section loss of frame)

 

 

slos (section loss of signal)

 

 

tim-p(path trace identifier, J1 mismatch alarm)

 

 

uneq-p(path unequipped C2 alarm).

 

 

The b1-tca,b2-tca,b3-tca,plop, sf-ber,slof, slos are enabled by

 

 

default.

Step 3

 

 

Router(config-if)# sonet

Sets the BER threshold values of the specified alarms. Default

 

threshold {b1-tca b2-tca

values are 6 for b1-tca, b2-tca, b3-tca, and sd-ber; 3 for sf-ber.

 

b3-tca sd-ber sf-ber}rate

 

 

 

 

To determine which alarms are reported on the ATM interface, and to display the BER thresholds, use the show controllers atm command, as described in the “Verifying the ATM Configuration” section on page 4-36.For a detailed description of the sonet report and sonet threshold commands, refer to the ATM Switch Router Command Reference publication.

Configuring Loopback

The ATM uplink interface is configured by default with no loopback. To enable loopback, use the loopback command in interface configuration mode.
