Configuring Card-Level Parameters, Lines, and Ports

This section describes how to configure card-level features, activate a physical line, and configure logical elements such as a port. If necessary, refer to the section titled “Tasks for Configuring Cards and Services” for background information on these types of tasks.

Step 1 Optionally, you can modify the resource partitioning for the whole card by executing

cnfcdrscprtn. You can view resource partitioning through dspcdrscprtn.

cnfcdrscprtn <number_PAR_conns> <number_PNNI_conns> <number_TAG_conns>

•

•

•

number_PAR_conns is the number of connections in the range 0–32767 for PAR.

number_PNNI_conns is the number in the range 0–32767 available to PNNI.

number_TAG_conns is the number of connections in the range 0–32767 for MPLS.

For example, you could reserve 10,000 connections for each controller on the PXM with:

cnfcdrscprtn 10000 10000 10000

Step 2 Activate a line by executing addln:

addln -ds3 <slot.line> -e3 <slot.line> -sonet <slot.line>

•-ds3 indicates a T3 line parameter follows.

•-e3 indicates an E3 line parameter follows.

•-sonet indicates an OC-3 or OC-12 line parameter follows.

•slot is 7 or 8 for the PXM. If the switch has a single of redundant pair of SRMs, execute addln for slots 15, 16, 31, and 32.

•line has the range 1–4 but depends on the number of lines on the back card.

For a feeder, you can activate only one line. For a stand-alone, you can activate more than one line if the back card has multiple lines. One line must serve as the trunk to the ATM network. With an OC-3, T3, or E3 card, remaining lines can serve as UNI ports to CPE.

Step 3 If necessary, modify the characteristics of a line by using cnfln.

Step 4 Configure logical ports for the physical line by executing addport. Execute addport once for each logical port. Related commands are cnfport, dspports, and delport.

addport <port_num> <line_num> <pct_bw> <min_vpi> <max_vpi>

•port_num is the number for the logical port. The range is 1–32 for user-ports or 34 for inband ATM PVCs that serve as management connections.

•line_num is the line number in the range 1–4 but depends on the type of uplink card.

•pct_bw is the percentage of bandwidth. The range is 0–100. This parameter applies to both ingress and egress.

•min_vpi is the minimum VPI value. On a feeder, the range is 0–4095. On a stand-alone node, the range is 0–255.

•max_vpi is the maximum VPI value. On a feeder, the range is 0–4095. On a stand-alone node, the range is 0–255.

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.
