Configuring Frame Relay Service

lmi_sig specifies the LMI signaling. 1=Other, 2=None, 3=StrataLMI, 4=AnnexAUNI, 5=AnnexDUNI, 6=AnnexANNI, 7=AnnexDNNI LMI signalling, N=none, S=StrataLMI, and au=AnnexAUNI.

asyn enables asynchronous updates: (y)es or (n)o

elmi enables Enhanced LMI: (N or n) disable (Y or y) enable

T391 sets the T391 timer. The range is 5–30 seconds. It sets the interval in seconds for NNI status polling. The default is 10.

T392 sets the T392 timer. The range is 5–30 seconds. It sets the interval in seconds for UNI status polling. The default is 15.

N391 sets the N391 counter–the number of UNI/NNI polling cycles. The range is 1–255. The default is 6.

N392 sets the N392 counter–the threshold for UNI/NNI errors. The range is 1–10. The default is 3.

N393 sets the N393 counter–the UNI/NNI threshold for monitored events. The range is 1–10 and must be greater than the value of N392. The default is 4.

Step 6 Configure resources for the port as needed by executing cnfportrscprtn. To see the partitioning, use dspportrscprtn. The description has a high and low-bandwidth version:

cnfportrscprtn <port_num> <controller> <percent BW> <low DLCI> <high DLCI> <max LCN>

For FRSM-VHS cards:

port_num is the port number in the range 1–2 for MGX-FRSM-2T3E3 and MGX-FRSM-HS2 or 1–256 for MGX-FRSM-2CT3.

controller is a number representing the controller: 1=PAR, 2=PNNI, and 3=Tag.

percent BW is the percentage of the bandwidth in the range 0–100 and applies to both egress and ingress.

low DLCI is in the range 0–1023.

high DLCI is in the range 0–1023.

max LCN is the maximum number of logical connections available to the controller on this port. The ranges are 1–4000 for MGX-FRSM-2CT3 and 1–2000 for MGX-FRSM-2T3E3 and MGX-FRSM-HS2.

For AX-FRSM-8T1 or AX-FRSM-8E1:

port_num is the logical port number in the range 1–192 for T1 or 1–248 for E1.

controller-nameis PAR, PNNI, or TAG.

percent BW is the percentage of the bandwidth in the range 0–100 and applies to both egress and ingress.

low DLCI is in the range 0–1023.

high DLCI is in the range 0–1023.

max LCN is the maximum number of logical connections available to the controller on this port. The range is 1–1000.

MGX-FRSM-HS2, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, MGX-FRSM-2CT3 specifications

Cisco Systems is a leader in networking technology and infrastructure, providing solutions that drive innovation and efficiency for businesses worldwide. Among its diverse range of products, the MGX series stands out as a pivotal component for the network-centric era, especially with models like MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, and MGX-FRSM-HS2. These modules are primarily designed for the MGX 8800 series routers, facilitating efficient traffic management and service delivery.

The MGX-FRSM-2CT3 is a versatile module that supports two T3 connections. It allows network operators to seamlessly integrate high-capacity circuit-switched and packet-switched data on a unified platform. This versatility is crucial for service providers looking to enhance their bandwidth offerings while ensuring reliable performance across voice, video, and data applications.

In contrast, the MGX-FRSM-2T3E3 module caters to operators needing E3 support. This feature allows for efficient data transport over a broader bandwidth, catering to European standards. The E3 configuration is vital for service providers operating in Europe or regions that utilize E3 technology prominently.

The MGX-FRSM-HS2 module is another significant offering, designed to accommodate the increasing demand for high speed and high capacity. It supports higher-order TDM and packet technologies, enabling operators to implement advanced services such as VoIP, video conferencing, and other data-intensive applications. This module provides scalability and reliability, making it ideal for next-generation networks.

All three modules leverage Cisco’s advanced switching and routing technology, ensuring optimal performance and minimal latency. The integration of Quality of Service (QoS) features allows network administrators to prioritize traffic types effectively, ensuring mission-critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.

Additionally, these MGX modules support various signaling protocols, enabling interoperability with existing network infrastructure while also facilitating the migration to newer technologies. They play an essential role in modernizing telecom networks, allowing service providers to adapt to changing market demands and technology landscapes.

In summary, the Cisco MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, and MGX-FRSM-HS2 modules are key components for businesses looking to enhance their networking capabilities. With their robust support for T3 and E3 technologies, high scalability, and advanced QoS features, these modules empower service providers to deliver a wide range of services, drive innovation, and meet the growing demands of users in an increasingly connected world.
