Any Transport over MPLS
Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) transports Layer 2 packets over a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) backbone. AToM enables service providers to connect customer sites with existing data link layer (Layer 2) networks, by using a single, integrated, packet-based network infrastructure — a Cisco MPLS network. Instead of separate networks with network management environments, service providers can deliver Layer 2 connections over an MPLS backbone. AToM provides a common framework to encapsulate and transport supported Layer 2 traffic types over an MPLS network core. AToM supports the following transport types:
•
ATM AAL5 over MPLS
•
ATM Cell Relay over MPLS
•
Ethernet over MPLS
•
Frame Relay over MPLS
•
PPP over MPLS
•
HDLC over MPLS

ATM Cell Relay over MPLS Restrictions
The following restrictions pertain to the ATM Cell Relay over MPLS feature:
•
TE tunnels: If you have TE tunnels running between the PE routers, you must enable label distribution protocol (LDP) on the tunnel interfaces.
Ethernet over MPLS Restrictions
The following restrictions pertain to the Ethernet over MPLS feature:
•
Packet format: Ethernet over MPLS supports VLAN packets that conform to the IEEE 802.1Q standard. The 802.1Q specification establishes a standard method for inserting VLAN membership information into Ethernet frames. The Inter-Switch Link (ISL) protocol is not supported between the PE and customer edge (CE) routers.

•
Multilink PPP: Multilink PPP (MLP) is not supported.
•
Interface configuration: You must configure PPP on router interfaces only. You cannot configure PPP on subinterfaces.
Restrictions Specific to the Cisco 12000 Series Routers
Fast Reroute
Fast Reroute uses three or more labels, depending on where the Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnel ends:
•
If the TE tunnel is from PE router to PE router, three labels are used.
•
If the TE tunnel is from PE router to P router, four labels are used.
The Engine 0 ATM line cards support three or more labels, although performance degrades. The Engine 2 Gigabit Ethernet line cards and IP Service Engine (ISE) line cards support three or more labels and can work with the Fast Reroute feature.
Frame Relay over MPLS
If you configure Frame Relay over MPLS and the core-facing interface is an Engine 4 or 4+ line card and the edge facing interface is an Engine 0 or 2 line card, then the FECN, BECN, CR, and DE bit information is stripped from the PVC.
ATM Cell Relay over MPLS
If you configure the Engine 2 8-Port OC-3 STM-1 ATM line card for ATM single cell relay over MPLS, you cannot configure other Layer 3 features on those ports reserved for ATM cell relay over MPLS.
Information about Any Transport over MPLS
To configure AToM, you must understand the following concepts:
•
How AToM Transports Layer 2 Packets
•
Compatibility with Previous Releases of AToM
How AToM Transports Layer 2 Packets
AToM encapsulates Layer 2 frames at the ingress PE and sends them to a corresponding PE at the other end of a pseudowire, which is a connection between the two PE routers. The egress PE removes the encapsulation and sends out the Layer 2 frame.
The successful transmission of the Layer 2 frames between PE routers is due to the configuration of the PE routers. You set up the connection, called a pseudowire, between the routers. You specify the following information on each PE router:
•
The type of Layer 2 data that will be transported across the pseudowire, such as Ethernet, Frame Relay, or ATM
•
The IP address of the loopback interface of the peer PE router, which enables the PE routers to communicate
•
A unique combination of peer PE IP address and VC ID that identifies the pseudowire
The following example shows the basic configuration steps on a PE router that enable the transport of Layer 2 packets. Each transport type has slightly different steps.
Step 1 defines the interface or subinterface on the PE router.
Router# interface interface-type interface-numberStep 2 specifies the encapsulation type for the interface, such as dot1q.
Router(config-if)# encapsulation encapsulation-typeStep 3 does the following:
•
Makes a connection to the peer PE router by specifying the LDP router ID of the peer PE router.
•
Identifies a unique identifier that is shared between the two PE routers. The vcid is a 32-bit identifier.
The combination of the peer-router-id and the VC ID must be a unique combination on the router. Two circuits cannot use the same combination of peer-router-id and VC ID.
•
Specifies the tunneling method used to encapsulate data in the pseudowire. For AToM, the tunneling method used to encapsulate data is mpls.
Router(config-if)# xconnect peer-router-id vcid encapsulation mplsAs an alternative, you can set up a pseudowire class to specify the tunneling method and other characteristics. See the "How to Configure the Pseudowire-Class" section for more information.
Compatibility with Previous Releases of AToM
In previous releases of AToM, the command used to configure AToM circuits was mpls l2 transport route. This command has been replaced with the xconnect command.
No new CLI enhancements will be made to the mpls l2transport route command. CLI enhancements will be made to either the xconnect command or pseudowire-class command. Therefore, we recommend that you use the xconnect command to configure AToM circuits.
Configurations from previous releases that use the mpls l2transport route command are still supported.
Benefits of AToM
The following list explains some of the benefits of enabling Layer 2 packets to be sent in the MPLS network:
•
The AToM product set accommodates many types of Layer 2 packets, including Ethernet and Frame Relay, across multiple Cisco router platforms, such as the Cisco 7200 and 7500 series routers. This enables the service provider to transport all types of traffic over the backbone and accommodate all types of customers.
•
AToM adheres to the standards developed for transporting Layer 2 packets over MPLS. (See the "Standards" section for the specific standards that AToM follows.) This benefits the service provider who wants to incorporate industry-standard methodologies in the network. Other Layer 2 solutions are proprietary, which can limit the service provider's ability to expand the network and can force the service provider to use only one vendor's equipment.
•
Upgrading to AToM is transparent to the customer. Because the service provider network is separate from the customer network, the service provider can upgrade to AToM without disruption of service to the customer. The customers assume that they are using a traditional Layer 2 backbone.

•
How to Configure MPLS Traffic Engineering Fast Reroute
•
How to Configure Tunnel Selection
•
How to Estimate the Size of Packets Traveling Through the Core Network
Prerequisites
Before configuring AToM, ensure that the network is configured as follows:
•
Configure IP routing in the core so that the PE routers can reach each other via IP.
•
Configure MPLS in the core so that an label switched path (LSP) exists between the PE routers.
•
Enable IP CEF or IP CEF distributed before configuring any Layer 2 circuits.
•
Configure a loopback interface for originating and terminating Layer 2 traffic. Make sure the PE routers can access the other router's loopback interface. Note that the loopback interface is not needed in all cases. For example, tunnel selection does not need a loopback interface when AToM is directly mapped to a TE tunnel.
How to Configure the Pseudowire-Class
The successful transmission of the Layer 2 frames between PE routers is due to the configuration of the PE routers. You set up the connection, called a pseudowire, between the routers.
Note
In simple configurations, this task is optional. You do not need to specify a pseudowire class if you specify the tunneling method as part of the xconnect command.
The pseudowire-class configuration group specifies the characteristics of the tunneling mechanism, including:
•
Encapsulation type
•
Control protocol
•
Payload-specific options
For more information about the pseudowire-class command, see the feature module Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3 at the following location:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/120limit/120s/120s24/l2tpv3.htm
Once you specify the encapsulation mpls command, you cannot remove it using the no encapsulation mpls command. Nor can you change the command's setting using the encapsulation l2tpv3 command. Those methods result in the following error message:
Encapsulation changes are not allowed on an existing pw-class.To remove the command, you must delete the pseudowire with the no pseudowire-class command. To change the type of encapsulation, remove the pseudowire with the no pseudowire-class command and re-establish the pseudowire and specify the new encapsulation type.

Configuring OAM Cell Emulation for ATM AAL5 over MPLS
Supported Platforms:
•
Cisco 7200 series routers
•
Cisco 7500 series routers
•
Cisco 12000 series routers
Overview of OAM Cell Emulation
If a PE router does not support the transport of OAM cells across an LSP, you can use OAM cell emulation to locally terminate or loopback the OAM cells. You configure OAM cell emulation on both PE routers, which emulates a VC by forming two unidirectional LSPs. You use the oam-ac emulation-enable command and the oam-pvc manage command on both PE routers to enable OAM cell emulation.
After you enable OAM cell emulation on a router, you can configure and manage the ATM VC in the same manner as you would a terminated VC. A VC that has been configured with OAM cell emulation can send loopback cells at configured intervals toward the local CE router. The endpoint can be either of the following:
•
End-to-end loopback, which sends OAM cells to the local CE router.
•
Segment loopback, which responds to OAM cells to a device along the path between the PE and CE routers.
The OAM cells include the following:
•
Alarm indication signal (AIS)
•
Remote defect indication (RDI)
These cells identify and report defects along a VC. When a physical link or interface failure occurs, intermediate nodes insert OAM AIS cells into all the downstream devices affected by the failure. When a router receives an AIS cell, it marks the ATM VC down and sends an RDI cell to let the remote end know about the failure.
Enabling OAM Cell Emulation for ATM AAL5 over MPLS
To enable OAM cell emulation on the PE routers, issue the oam-ac emulation-enable and oam-pvc manage commands in AToM VC configuration mode.
Specifying the Rate at Which AIS Cells Are Sent
The oam-ac emulation-enable command lets you specify the rate at which AIS cells are sent. The default is one cell every second. The range is 0 to 60 seconds.
Configuration Examples for OAM Cell Emulation
The following example enables OAM cell emulation on an ATM PVC:
Router# interface ATM 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# pvc 1/200 l2transport
Router(config-atm-vc)# oam-ac emulation-enable
Router(config-atm-vc)# oam-pvc manage
The following example sets the rate at which an AIS cell is sent to every 30 seconds:
Router# interface ATM 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# pvc 1/200 l2transport
Router(config-atm-vc)# oam-ac emulation-enable 30
Router(config-atm-vc)# oam-pvc manage
Verifying OAM Cell Emulation
The following show atm pvc command shows that OAM cell emulation is enabled and working on the ATM PVC:

Varieties of ATM Cell Relay over MPLS
ATM cell relay over MPLS provides several configuration options:
•
Virtual circuit (VC) mode, which enables you to configure ATM circuits on the permanent virtual circuits.
•
Virtual path (VP) mode, which enables you to configure ATM circuits on the permanent virtual paths.
•
Port mode, which enables you to configure ATM circuits on an interface.
•
Single cell relay, which contains one ATM cell per packet.
•
Packed cell relay, which contains multiple concatenated ATM cells per MPLS packet.
Table 1 shows the platforms that support the new ATM cell relay features. The following sections explain how to configure each feature.
Note
For configuring ATM Cell Relay on the Cisco 12000 series router with the Engine 2 8-port OC-3 STM-1 ATM Line Card, you must configure an interface with the atm mode cell-relay command before configuring ATM cell relay. See the "Configuring ATM Cell Relay over MPLS: Packed Cell Relay" section for more information.
Configuring ATM Relay over MPLS with the Cisco 12000 Series Router Engine 2 8-Port OC-3 STM-1 ATM Line Card
If you configure ATM cell relay on the Cisco 12000 series router with an engine 2 8-port OC-3 STM-1 ATM line card, note the following configuration differences:
•
You must use the atm mode cell-relay command in interface configuration mode.
•
When you configure the Engine 2 8-port OC-3 STM-1 ATM line card on a port to perform ATM cell relay over MPLS, a corresponding port will also be reserved for this feature. For example, if you configure ATM cell relay over MPLS on port 0, port 1 is also reserved. The following list shows the pairs of ports that are reserved when you configure ATM cell relay over MPLS:
–
Ports 0 and 1
–
Ports 2 and 3
–
Ports 4 and 5
–
Ports 6 and 7
If you configured the Engine 2 8-port OC-3 STM-1 ATM line card on a port for ATM AAL5 over MPLS and you now want to configure ATM cell relay over MPLS on that port, the VCs for AAL5 on that port and its corresponding port are removed. The same is also true if you have ATM AAL5 UNI terminated VCs or ATM Cell Relay over MPLS VCs. You receive the following messages:
All VCs/VPs on interface 15/7 and 15/6 will be deleted. Continue ? [yes/no]:SLOT 15:00:28:20: %PM622-6-SAR_MODE_CHANGED: port 7 and 6 switched to aal0 mode•
When you configure the Engine 2 8-port OC-3 STM-1 ATM line card on a port to perform ATM cell relay over MPLS, you cannot configure other Layer 3 features on that port.

Virtual Path (VP) mode allows cells coming into a predefined permanent virtual path (PVP) on the ATM interface to be transported over the MPLS backbone to a predefined PVP on the egress ATM interface. You can use VP mode to send single cells or packed cells over the MPLS backbone.
To configure VP mode, you must specify the following:
•
The VP is for transporting cell relay cells.
•
The IP address of the peer PE router and the VC ID.
Perform this task to transport ATM cells over a PVP.

VP Mode Configuration Guidelines
When configuring ATM Cell Relay over MPLS in VP mode, use the following guidelines:
•
You do not need to enter the encapsulation aal0 command in VP mode.
•
One ATM interface can accommodate multiple types of ATM connections. VP cell relay, VC cell relay, and ATM AAL5 over MPLS can coexist on one ATM interface. On the Cisco 12000 series router, this is true only on the Engine 0 ATM line cards.
•
If a VPI is configured for VP cell relay, you cannot configure a PVC using the same VPI.
•
VP trunking (mapping multiple VPs to one emulated vc label) is not supported in this release. Each VP is mapped to one emulated VC.
•
Each VP is associated with one unique emulated VC ID. The AToM emulated VC type is ATM VP Cell Transport.
•
The AToM control word is supported. However, if a peer PE does not support the control word, it is disabled. This negotiation is done by LDP label binding.
•
VP mode (and VC mode) drop idle cells.

Port mode cell relay allows a single cell coming into an ATM interface to be packed into an MPLS packet and transported over the MPLS backbone to an egress ATM interface.
To configure port mode, you issue the xconnect command from an ATM main interface and specify the destination address and the VC ID. The syntax and semantics of the xconnect command are the same as for all other transport types. Each ATM port is associated with one unique pseudowire VC label.

•
The pseudowire VC type is set to ATM transparent cell transport (AAL0).
•
The AToM control word is supported. However, if the peer PE does not support a control word, the control word is disabled. This negotiation is done by LDP label binding.
•
Port mode and VP and VC mode are mutually exclusive. If you enable an ATM main interface for cell relay, you cannot enter any PVP or PVC commands.
•
OAM Support: If the pseudowire VC label is withdrawn due to an MPLS core network failure, The PE router sends a line AIS to the CE router.

Configuring ATM Cell Relay over MPLS: Packed Cell Relay
Supported Platforms:
•
Cisco 7200 series routers
•
Cisco 7500 series routers
The packed cell relay feature allows you to insert multiple concatenated ATM cells in an MPLS packet. The packed cell relay feature is more efficient than single cell relay, because each ATM cell is 52 bytes, and each AToM packet is at least 64 bytes. You configure the packed cell relay feature in ATM VP or VC mode.
At a high level, packed cell relay configuration consists of the following steps:
Step 1
You specify the amount of time a PE router can wait for cells to be packed into an MPLS packet. You can set up three timers by default with different amounts of time attributed to each timer.
Step 2
You enable packed cell relay, specify how many cells should be packed into each MPLS packet, and choose which timer to use during the cell packing process.
The following procedure allows you to enable the cell-packing feature in VC mode.

Step 4
atm mcpt-timers [timer1-timeout timer2-timeout timer3-timeout]
Example:Router(config-if)# atm mcpt-timers 100 200 250
Sets up the cell-packing timers, which specify how long the PE router can wait for cells to be packed into an MPLS packet.
You can set up to three timers. For each timer, you specify the maximum cell packing timeout (MCPT). This value gives the cell packing function a limited amount of time to complete. If the timer expires before the maximum number of cells are packed into an AToM packet, the packet is sent anyway. The timeout's default and range of acceptable values depends on the ATM link speed.
The default values for the PA-A3 port adapters are:
•
OC-3: 30, 60, and 90 microseconds
•
T3: 100, 200, and 300 microseconds
•
E3: 130, 260, and 390 microseconds
You can specify either the number of microseconds or use the default.
The range of values for the PA-A3 port adapters are:
•
OC-3: 10 to 4095 microseconds
•
T3: 30 to 4095 microseconds
•
E3: 40 to 4095 microseconds
See the atm mcpt-timers command for more information.
Step 5
pvc vpi/vci l2transport
Example:Router(config-atm-vc)# pvc 1/100 l2transport
Assigns a virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual circuit identifier (VCI). The l2transport keyword indicates that the PVC is a switched PVC instead of a terminated PVC.
Step 6
encapsulation aal0Example:Router(config-atm-vc)# encapsulation aal0For ATM Cell Relay, this command specifies raw cell encapsulation for the interface. Make sure you specify the same encapsulation type on the PE routers.
Step 7

Step 8
cell-packing cells mcpt-timer timerExample:Router(config-atm-vc)# cell-packing 10 mcpt-timer 1Enables cell packing and specifies the cell packing parameters.
The cells value represents the maximum number of cells to be packed into an MPLS packet. The range is from 2 to the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the interface divided by 52. The default is MTU/52.
The timer value allows you to specify which timer to use. The default is timer 1.
See the cell-packing command for more information.
Packed Cell Relay Configuration Guidelines
When configuring packed cell relay, use the following guidelines:
•
The cell-packing command is available only if you configure the ATM VC with AAL0 encapsulation. If the command is configured with ATM AAL5 encapsulation, the command is not valid.
•
Only cells from the same VC or VP can be packed into one MPLS packet. Cells from different connections cannot be concantenated into the same MPLS packet.
•
When you change, enable, or disable the cell-packing attributes, the ATM VC or VP and the MPLS emulated VC are reestablished.
•
If a PE router does not support packed cell relay, the PE routers sends only one cell per MPLS packet.
•
The number of packed cells does not need to match between the PE routers. The two PE routers agree on the lower of the two values. For example, if PE 1 is allowed to pack 10 cells per MPLS packet and PE 2 is allowed to pack 20 cells per MPLS packet, the two PE routers would agree to send no more than 10 cells per packet.
•
If the number of cells packed by the peer PE router exceeds the limit, the packet is dropped.
Packed Cell Relay Configuration Examples
The following example shows that ATM PVC 1/100 is an AToM cell relay PVC. There are three timers set up, with values of 1000 usecs, 800 usecs, and 500 usecs, respectively. The cell-packing command specifies that five ATM cells are to be packed into an MPLS packet. The cell-packing command also specifies that timer 1 is to be used.

OAM Support with ATM Cell Relay over MPLS
The F4 end-to-end OAM cells are transparently transported along with the ATM cells. When a PVP or PVC is down on PE1, the label associated with that PVP or PVC is withdrawn. Subsequently, PE2 detects the label withdrawal and sends an F4 AIS/RDI signal to CE2. The PVP or PVC on PE2 remains in the up state.
How to Configure Ethernet over MPLS
Ethernet over MPLS works by encapsulating Ethernet PDUs in MPLS packets and forwarding them across the MPLS network. Each PDU is transported as a single packet.
There are two ways to configure Ethernet over MPLS:
•
VLAN mode, which transports Ethernet traffic from a source 802.1Q VLAN to a destination 802.1Q VLAN over a core MPLS network.
•
Port mode, which allows a frame coming into an interface to be packed into an MPLS packet and transported over the MPLS backbone to an egress interface. The entire Ethernet frame is transported without the preamble or FCS as a single packet.

A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a switched network that is logically segmented by functions, project teams, or applications regardless of the physical location of users. Ethernet over MPLS allows you to connect two VLAN networks that are in different locations. You configure the PE routers at each end of the MPLS backbone and add a point-to-point virtual circuit (VC). Only the two PE routers at the ingress/egress points of the MPLS backbone know about the VCs dedicated to transporting Layer 2 VLAN traffic. All other routers do not have table entries for those VCs.
Note
You must configure Ethernet over MPLS (VLAN mode) on the subinterfaces.

Port mode allows a frame coming into an interface to be packed into an MPLS packet and transported over the MPLS backbone to an egress interface. The entire Ethernet frame without the preamble or FCS is transported as a single packet. To configure port mode, you use the xconnect command in main interface mode and specify the destination address and the VC ID. The syntax and semantics of the xconnect command are the same as for all other transport types. Each interface is associated with one unique pseudowire VC label.

Supported Platforms:

•
Cisco 7500 series routers
•
Cisco 10720 routers
•
Cisco 12000 series routers
The VLAN ID rewrite feature enables you to use VLAN interfaces with different VLAN IDs at both ends of the tunnel.
The Cisco 7200 and 7500 series routers and the Cisco 10720 routers automatically perform VLAN ID rewrite on the disposition PE router. There is no configuration required.
Configuring the VLAN ID Rewrite Feature for the Cisco 12000 Series Routers
The VLAN ID rewrite feature has the following guidelines for the Cisco 12000 series routers:
•
The IP Service Engine (ISE) 4-port Gigabit Ethernet line card performs the VLAN ID rewrite on the disposition side at the edge-facing linecard.
•
The Engine 2 3-port Gigabit Ethernet line card performs the VLAN ID rewrite on the imposition side at the edge-facing line card.
The VLAN ID rewrite functionality for the Cisco 1200 series routers requires that both ends of the Ethernet over MPLS connections to be provisioned with the same line cards. Make sure that both edge-facing ends of the virtual circuit use either the Engine 2 or IP Service Engine (ISE)) Ethernet line card. The following example shows the system flow with the VLAN ID rewrite feature:
•
The IP Service Engine (ISE) 4-port Gigabit Ethernet line card:
Traffic flows from VLAN1 on CE1 to VLAN2 on CE2. As the frame reaches the edge-facing line card of the disposition router PE2, the VLAN ID in the dot1Q header changes to the VLAN ID assigned to VLAN 2.
•
The Engine 2 3-port Gigabit Ethernet line card:
Traffic flows from VLAN1 on CE1 to VLAN2 on CE2. As the frame reaches the edge-facing line card of the imposition router PE1, the VLAN ID in the dot1Q header changes to the VLAN ID assigned to VLAN 2.
For the Cisco 12000 series router Engine 2 3-port Gigabit Ethernet line card, you must issue the remote circuit id command as part of the Ethernet over MPLS VLAN ID rewrite configuration.

How Frame Relay PDUs Move Between PE Routers
Frame Relay over MPLS encapsulates Frame Relay protocol data units (PDUs) in MPLS packets and forwards them across the MPLS network. For Frame Relay, you can set up data-link connection identifier (DLCI)-to-DLCI connections or port-to-port connections.
•
With DLCI-to-DLCI connections, the PE routers manipulate the packet, by removing headers, adding labels, and copying control word elements from the header to the PDU.
•
With port-to-port connections, you use HDLC mode to transport the Frame Relay encapsulated packets. In HDLC mode, the whole HDLC packet is transported. Only the HDLC flags and FCS bits are removed. The contents of the packet are not used or changed, including the FECN, BECN, and DE bits.

Enabling Other PE Devices to Transport Frame Relay Packets
You can configure an interface as a data terminal equipment (DTE) device or a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) switch, or as a switch connected to a switch with network-to-network interface (NNI) connections. Use the following command in interface configuration mode:
frame-relay intf-type [dce | dte | nni]
The keywords are explained in the following table:
Local Management Interface and Frame Relay over MPLS
Local Management Interface (LMI) is a protocol that communicates status information about permanent virtual circuits (PVCs). When a PVC is added, deleted, or changed, the LMI notifies the endpoint of the status change. LMI also provides a polling mechanism that verifies that a link is up.
How LMI Works
To determine the PVC status, LMI checks that a PVC is available from the reporting device to the Frame Relay end-user device. If a PVC is available, LMI reports that the status is "Active," which means that all interfaces, line protocols, and core segments are operational between the reporting device and the Frame Relay end-user device. If any of those components is not available, the LMI reports a status of "Inactive."
Note
Only the DCE and NNI interface types can report LMI status.
Figure 1 is a sample topology that helps illustrate how LMI works.
Figure 1 Sample Topology
In Figure 1, note the following:
•
CE1 and PE1 and PE2 and CE2 are Frame Relay LMI peers.
•
CE1 and CE2 can be Frame Relay switches or end-user devices.
•
Each Frame Relay PVC is composed of multiple segments.
•
The DLCI value is local to each segment and is changed as traffic is switched from segment to segment. Two Frame Relay PVC segments exist in Figure 1; one is between PE1 and CE1 and the other is between PE2 and CE2.
How the LMI protocol behaves depends on whether you have DLCI-to-DLCI or port-to-port connections.
DLCI-to-DLCI Connections
If you have DLCI-to-DLCI connections, LMI runs locally on the Frame Relay ports between the PE and CE devices.
•
CE1 sends an active status to PE1 if the PVC for CE1 is available. If CE1 is a switch, LMI checks that the PVC is available from CE1 to the user device attached to CE1.
•
PE1 sends an active status to CE1 if the following conditions are met:
–
A PVC for PE1 is available.
–
PE1 has received an MPLS label from the remote PE router.
–
An MPLS tunnel label exists between PE1 and the remote PE.
–
CE2 reports an Active status to PE2. If CE2 is a switch, LMI checks that the PVC is available from PE1 to the end-user device attached to CE2.
For DTE/DCE configurations, the following LMI behavior exists:
The Frame Relay device accessing the network (DTE) does the polling. The network device (DCE) responds to the LMI polls. Therefore, if a problem exists on the DTE side, the DCE is not aware of the problem, because it does not poll.
Port-to-Port Connections
If you have port-to-port connections, the PE routers do not participate in the LMI status-checking procedures. LMI operates between the customer edge (CE) routers only. The CE routers must be configured as DCE-DTE or NNI-NNI.
For More Information About LMI
For information about LMI, including configuration instructions, see the following document:

How to Configure HDLC and PPP over MPLS
With HDLC over MPLS, the whole HDLC packet is transported. The ingress PE router removes only the HDLC flags and frame check sequence (FCS) bits. The contents of the packet are not used or changed.
With PPP over MPLS, the ingress PE router removes the flags, address, control field, and the FCS.

How to Configure Distributed CEF Mode
Supported Platforms:
•
Cisco 12000 series routers
•
Cisco 7500 series routers
Note
Distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is the only forwarding model supported on the Cisco 12000 series routers and is enabled by default. Disabling distributed CEF on the Cisco 12000 Series routers disables forwarding.
Distributed CEF mode is supported on the Cisco 7500 series routers for Frame Relay, HDLC, and PPP. In distributed CEF mode, the switching process occurs on the VIPs that support switching. When distributed CEF is enabled, VIP port adapaters maintain identical copies of the forwarding information base (FIB) and adjacency tables. The port adapters perform the express forwarding between port adapters, relieving the Route Switch Processor (RSP) from performing the switching. Distributed CEF uses an inter process communications (IPC) mechanism to ensure synchronization of FIBs and adjacency tables between the RSP and port adapters.
Enabling Distributed CEF
To enable distributed CEF on the Cisco 7500 series routers, issue the ip cef distributed command.

This feature allows AToM to use MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnels with Fast Reroute support. AToM VCs can be rerouted around a failed link or node at the same time as MPLS and IP prefixes.
Configuring MPLS TE Fast Reroute
Enabling Fast Reroute on AToM does not require any special commands; you can use standard fast reroute commands. At the ingress PE, an AToM tunnel is protected by Fast Reroute when it is routed to an FRR-protected TE tunnel. Both link and node protection are supported for AToM VCs at the ingress PE. For more information on configuring MPLS TE Fast Reroute, see the following:
MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE)—Link and Node Protection, with RSVP Hellos Support
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/120limit/120s/120s23/fs_frrnd.htm
Fast Reroute Configuration Example
The following configuration example and Figure 2 show the configuration of Fast Reroute on AToM PE routers.
Routers PE1 and PE2 have the following characteristics:
•
A TE tunnel called Tunnel41 is configured between PE1and PE2, using an explicit path through a link called L1. AToM VCs are configured to travel through the FRR-protected tunnel Tunnel41.
•

Troubleshooting Tips
You can issue the debug mpls l2transport fast-reroute command to debug Fast Reroute.
Note
This command does not display output on platforms where AToM Fast Reroute is implemented in the forwarding code. This command does not display output for the Cisco 7500 (both RP and VIP) series routers, Cisco 7200 series routers, and Cisco 12000 series route processor. The command does display output on Cisco 10720 Internet router line cards and Cisco 12000 series line cards.
In the following example, the primary link is disabled, which causes the backup tunnel (Tunnel 1) to become the primary path.

•
Cisco 12000 series routers
•
Cisco 10720 Internet router
•
Cisco 7200 series routers
•
Cisco 7500 series routers
This feature allows you to specify the path that traffic uses. You can specify either an MPLS TE tunnel or destination IP address/DNS name.
You also have the option of specifying whether the VCs should use the default path (the path LDP used for signaling) if the preferred path is unreachable. This option is enabled by default; you must explicitly disable it.
Configuring Tunnel Selection
You configure tunnel selection when you set up the pseudowire class. You enable tunnel selection with the preferred-path command. Then, you apply the pseudowire class to an interface that has been configured to transport AToM packets.

Tunnel Selection Configuration Guidelines
The following guidelines provide more information about configuring tunnel selection.
•
This command is available only if the pseudowire encapsulation type is MPLS.
•
This feature is enabled when you exit from pseudowire submode.
•
The selected path should be a label switched path (LSP) destined to the peer PE router.
•
The selected tunnel must be an MPLS traffic engineering tunnel.
•
If you select a tunnel, the tunnel tailend must be on the remote PE router.
•
If you specify an IP address, that address must be the IP address of the loopback interface on the remote PE router. The address must have a /32 mask. There must be an LSP destined to that selected address. The LSP does not have to be a TE tunnel.
Tunnel Selection Configuration Example
The following example sets up two preferred paths for PE1. One preferred path specifies an MPLS traffic engineering tunnel. The other preferred path specifies an IP address of a loopback address on PE2. There is a static route configured on PE1 that uses a TE tunnel to reach the IP address on PE2.

The show mpls l2transport vc command shows the following information about the VCs:
•
VC 101 has been assigned a preferred path called Tunnel1. The default path is disabled, because the preferred path specified that the default path should not be used if the preferred path fails.
•

You can use the debug mpls l2transport vc event command to troubleshoot tunnel selection. For example, if the tunnel interface that is used for the preferred path is shut down, the default path is enabled. The debug mpls l2transport vc event command provides the following output:
AToM SMGR [75.2.2.2, 101]: Processing imposition update, vc_handle 62091860, update_action 3, remote_vc_label 16AToM SMGR [75.2.2.2, 101]: selected route no parent rewrite: tunnel not upAToM SMGR [75.2.2.2, 101]: Imposition Programmed, Output Interface: Et3/2How to Estimate the Size of Packets Traveling Through the Core Network
The following calculation helps you determine the size of the packets traveling through the core network. You set the MTU on the core-facing interfaces of the P and PE routers to accommodate packets of this size. The MTU should be greater than or equal to the total bytes of the items in the following equation:
Core MTU >= (Edge MTU + Transport header + AToM header + (MPLS label stack * MPLS label size))
The following sections describe the variables used in the equation.
Edge MTU
The edge MTU is the MTU for the customer-facing interfaces.
Transport header
The Transport header depends on the transport type. Table 2 lists the specific sizes of the headers.
AToM Header
The AToM header is 4 bytes (control word). The control word is optional for Ethernet, PPP, HDLC, and cell relay transport types. However, the control word is required for Frame Relay, and ATM AAL5 transport types.
MPLS Label Stack
The MPLS label stack size depends on the configuration of the core MPLS network.
•
AToM uses one MPLS label to identify the ATOM VCs (VC label). Therefore, the minimum MPLS label stack is 1 for directly connected ATOM PEs, which are PE routers that do not have a P router between them.
•
If LDP is used in the MPLS network, the label stack size is 2 (the LDP label and the VC label).
•
If a TE tunnel instead of LDP is used between PE routers in the MPLS network, the label stack size is 2 (the TE label and the VC label).
•
If a TE tunnel and LDP are used in the MPLS network (for example, a TE tunnel between P routers or between P and PE routers, with LDP on the tunnel), the label stack is 3 (TE label, LDP label, VC label).
•
If you use MPLS Fast Reroute in the MPLS network, you add a label to the stack. The maximum MPLS label stack in this case is 4 (FRR label, TE label, LDP label, VC label).
•
If AToM is used by the customer carrier in MPLS-VPN Carrier Supporting Carrier environment, you add a label to the stack. The maximum MPLS label stack in the provider carrier network is 5 (FRR label, TE label, LDP label, VPN label, VC label).
•
If an AToM tunnel spans different service providers that exchange MPLS labels using IPv4 BGP (RFC 3107), you add a label to the stack. The maximum MPLS label stack is 5 (FRR label, TE label, BGP label, LDP label, VC label).
Other circumstances can increase the MPLS label stack size. Therefore, analyze the complete data path between the AToM tunnel endpoints and determine the maximum MPLS label stack size for your network. Then multiply the label stack size by the size of the MPLS label.
Example of Estimating Packet Size
Example 2 estimates the size of packets. The example uses the following assumptions:
•
The edge MTU is 1500 bytes.
•
The transport type is Ethernet VLAN, which designates 18 bytes for the transport header.
•
The AToM header is 0, because the control word is not used.
•
The MPLS label stack is 2, because LDP is used. The MPLS label is 4 bytes.
Example 2 Estimating the MTU for Packets
Edge MTU + Transport header + AToM header + (MPLS label stack * MPLS Label) = Core MTU1500 + 18 + 0 + (2 * 4 ) = 1526You must configure the P and PE routers in the core to accept packets of 1526 bytes. See the following section for setting the MTU size on the P and PE routers.
Changing the MTU Size on the P and PE Routers
Once you determine the MTU size to set on your P and PE routers, you can issue the mtu command on the routers to set the MTU size. The following example specifies an MTU of 1526 bytes.
Router(config-if)# mtu 1526
Note
Some interfaces (such as FastEthernet interfaces) require the mpls mtu command to change the MTU size.

How to Set Experimental Bits with AToM
Supported Platforms:
•
Cisco 12000 series routers
•
Cisco 7200 series routers
•
Cisco 7500 series routers
•
Cisco 10720 Internet router for Ethernet over MPLS
For configuration steps and examples, see the "Setting the EXP Bits" section.
MPLS AToM uses the three experimental bits in a label to determine the queue of packets. You statically set the experimental bits in both the VC label and the LSP tunnel label, because the LSP tunnel label might be removed at the penultimate router. The following sections explain the transport-specific implementations of the EXP bits.
ATM AAL5 over MPLS and EXP Bits
•
ATM AAL5 over MPLS allows you to statically set the experimental bits.
•
If you do not assign values to the experimental bits, the priority bits in the header's "tag control information" field are set to zero.
•
On the Cisco 7500 series routers, dCEF must be enabled before you set the experimental bits.
ATM Cell Relay over MPLS and EXP Bits
•
ATM Cell Relay over MPLS allows you to statically set the experimental bits in VC, VP, and port modes.
•
If you do not assign values to the experimental bits, the priority bits in the header's "tag control information" field are set to zero.
•
On the Cisco 7500 series routers, dCEF must be enabled before you set the experimental bits.
Ethernet over MPLS and EXP Bits
On the Cisco 12000 Series Routers
•
Ethernet over MPLS allows you to either statically set the experimental bits or use the 802.1Q P bits to determine the experimental bit settings. To use the 802.1Q P bits, see the "Using 802.1Q P Bits to Determine the Experimental Bit Settings" section.
•
In VLAN mode, if you do not assign values to the experimental bits, the priority bits in the 802.1Q header's "tag control information" field are written into the experimental bit fields.
•
In port mode, if you do not assign values to the experimental bits, the experimental bits are set to zero.
On the Cisco 7200 and 7500 Series Routers
•
Ethernet over MPLS allows you to set the EXP bits by using either of the following methods:
–
Writing the priority bits into the experimental bit field, which is the default.
–
Using the match any command with the set mpls exp command.
•
If you do not assign values to the experimental bits, the priority bits in the 802.1Q header's "tag control information" field are written into the experimental bit fields.
•
On the Cisco 7500 series routers, dCEF must be enabled before you set the experimental bits.
On the Cisco 10720 Router
Table 3 lists the commands that are supported on the Cisco 10720 router for Ethernet over MPLS. The letter Y means that the command is supported on that interface. A dash (—) means that command is not supported on that interface.
Note
The match cos command is supported only on subinterfaces, not main interfaces.
Frame Relay over MPLS and EXP Bits
If you do not assign values to the experimental bits, the priority bits in the header's "tag control information" field are set to zero.
On the Cisco 7500 series routers, dCEF must be enabled before you set the experimental bits.
HDLC over MPLS and PPP over MPLS and EXP Bits
If you do not assign values to the experimental bits, zeros are written into the experimental bit fields.
On the Cisco 7500 series routers, enable dCEF before setting the experimental bits.
Setting the EXP Bits
Set the experimental bits in both the VC label and the LSP tunnel label. You set the experimental bits in the VC label, because the LSP tunnel label might be removed at the penultimate router.
Perform this task to set the experimental bits.
Note
Steps 1 through 5 are common to the Cisco 12000, 7200, and 7500 routers. Steps 6 and 7 are slightly different for the Cisco 12000 series routers. See Examples of Setting the EXP Bits on the Cisco 12000 Series Routers for examples.

Configuring Traffic Policing with the Cisco 12000 Series Routers
Supported Platforms:
•
Cisco 12000 series routers for ATM AAL5, ATM Cell Relay, and Frame Relay over MPLS
Traffic policing operates on incoming traffic. When enabled, policing prevents traffic congestion by treating traffic as either committed or excess. You specify the parameters for committed and excess traffic. Traffic that falls within the committed rate parameters is transmitted, whereas traffic that exceeds the parameters is dropped or transmitted with a different priority.
How traffic policing handles packets depends on the configuration of the committed information rate (CIR), peak information rate (PIR), burst committed (BC), and peak burst (BE) parameters and the conform, exceed, and violate actions.
Note
Traffic policing is not supported in ATM Cell Relay port mode on the Cisco 12000 Series routers.
How Traffic Policing Treats ATM Packets
Table 4 shows how ATM packets are handled on the Cisco 12000 series routers with traffic policing.
Traffic Policing on ATM AAL5 over MPLS with the Cisco 12000 Series Router Line Cards
On Cisco 12000 series routers, the policing function measures traffic in different ways for E2 and E0 ATM line cards. Therefore, when you display policing statistics, the results will be different for different line cards.
•
On E2 ATM line cards, the policing function does not count the following items:
–
Four-byte AAL5 trailer
–
Four-byte AAL5 CRC
–
Bytes used for padding the AAL5 packet
•
On E0 ATM line cards, the policing function counts the trailer, CRS, and padding bytes.
Further, arithmetic round-off errors can allow higher bursts of committed and excess traffic than you specified. To keep the burst traffic within the specified limits, specify a minimum excess burst.
How Traffic Policing Treats Frame Relay Packets
Table 5 shows how Frame Relay packets are handled on the Cisco 12000 series routers with traffic policing.
Configuration Guidelines
To configure traffic policing, you create a traffic class and a traffic policy and attach the traffic policy to a specified VC or subinterface. You perform these tasks using the Modular QoS command-line interface (CLI). For information on the Modular QoS CLI, see "Configuring the Modular Quality of Service Command-Line Interface" at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fqos_c/fqcprt8/qcfmcli2.htm#89799
The following list outlines guidelines specific to the Cisco 12000 series router and traffic policing:
•
The Cisco 12000 series router supports the two-rate, three-color policer. For more information on this type of traffic policing, see Two-Rate Policer at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122t/122t4/ft2rtplc.htm
•
The Cisco 12000 series router requires that you specify the committed information rate (CIR) and the peak information rate (PIR).
•
The switched-dlci command is required only for Frame Relay over MPLS on the Cisco 12000 series routers.
•
The match fr-dlci command is not supported on the Cisco 12000 series routers.
•
The set-clp-transmit command is only supported on the Engine 2 8-Port OC-3 STM-1 ATM line card.
•
Traffic policing is not supported for ATM Cell Relay over MPLS in port mode.

Setting the Frame Relay Discard Eligibility Bit on the Cisco 7500 Series Routers
You can use the discard eligibility (DE) bit in the address field of a frame relay frame to prioritize frames in congested frame relay networks. The frame relay DE bit has only one bit and can therefore only have two settings, 0 or 1. If congestion occurs in a frame relay network, frames with the DE bit set to 1 are discarded before frames with the DE bit set to 0. Therefore, important traffic should have the DE bit set to 0, while less important traffic should be forwarded with the DE bit set at 1. The default DE bit setting is 0. You can change the DE bit setting to 1 with the set fr-de command.
Note
The set fr-de command can only be used in an output service policy.

atm mcpt-timers
To set up the cell-packing timers, which specify how long the provider edge (PE) router can wait for cells to be packed into a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol version 3 (L2TPv3) packet, use the atm mcpt-timers command in interface configuration mode. To disable the cell-packing timers, use the no form of this command.
atm mcpt-timers [timeout-1 timeout-2 timeout-3]
no atm mcpt-timers
Syntax Description
Defaults
By default, the timers are not set. If you enable the cell-packing timers, the default values for the PA-A3 port adapters are:
•
OC-3: 30, 60, and 90 microseconds
•
T3: 100, 200, and 300 microseconds
•
E3: 130, 260, and 390 microseconds

Command History
Release Modification12.0(25)S
This command was introduced.
12.0(29)S
Support for L2TPv3 sessions was added in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(29)S.
Usage Guidelines
For each timer, you specify the maximum cell packing timeout (MCPT). This value gives the cell-packing function a limited amount of time to complete. If the timer expires before the maximum number of cells are packed into an Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) or L2TPv3 packet, the packet is sent anyway.
The timeout's range of acceptable values depends on the ATM link speed. For the PA-A3 port adapter, the range of values is:
•
OC-3: 30, 60, and 90 microseconds
•
T3: 100, 200, and 300 microseconds
•
E3: 130, 260, and 390 microseconds
Examples
The following example sets the MCPT timers to 10, 60, and 90 microseconds, respectively.

•
When you configure the engine 2 8-port OC-3 STM-1 ATM line card on a port to perform ATM Single Cell Relay over MPLS, a corresponding port will also be reserved for this feature. If you configure ATM Single Cell Relay over MPLS on port 0, port 1 is also be reserved. The following list shows the ports that are reserved:
–
Ports 0 and 1
–
Ports 2 and 3
–
Ports 4 and 5
–

atm pvp
To create a permanent virtual path (PVP) used to multiplex (or bundle) one or more virtual circuits (VCs), use the atm pvp command in interface configuration mode. To remove a PVP, use the no form of this command.

Syntax Description
Defaults

The default peak rate is the line rate.
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History
Release Modification11.1
This command was introduced.
12.0(25)S
This command was updated to include the l2transport keyword.
Usage Guidelines
This command is commonly used to create a PVP that is used in multiplex circuit emulation service (CES) and data VCs.
The ATM-CES port adapter supports multiplexing of one or more VCs over a virtual path that is shaped at a constant bandwidth. For example, you can buy a virtual path service from an ATM service provider and multiplex both the CES and data traffic over the virtual path.
All subsequently created VCs with a vpi argument matching the vpi value specified with the atm pvp command are multiplexed onto this PVP. This PVP connection is an ATM connection where switching is performed on the VPI field of the cell only. A PVP is created and left up indefinitely. All VCs that are multiplexed over a PVP share and are controlled by the traffic parameters associated with the PVP.
Changing the peak-rate argument causes the ATM-CES port adapter to go down and then back up.
When you create a PVP, two VCs are created (VCI 3 and 4) by default. These VCs are created for VP end-to-end loopback and segment loopback operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) support.
When you use the l2transport keyword with the atm pvp command, the command mode becomes the l2transport PVP submode. You must issue the l2transport keyword to configure the ATM cell relay over MPLS feature in port mode or to configure the ATM cell relay over L2TPv3 feature.
To verify the configuration of a PVP, use the show atm vp command in EXEC mode.
Examples
The following example creates a permanent virtual path with a peak rate of 2000 kbps. The subsequent VCs created are multiplexed onto this virtual path.

cell-packing
To enable ATM over MPLS to pack multiple ATM cells into each MPLS packet, use the cell-packing command in ATM VC or VP configuration mode. To disable cell-packing, use the no form of this command.
cell-packing [cells] [mcpt-timer timer]
no cell-packing
Syntax Description
Defaults
Cell packing is disabled.
Command Modes
ATM VC or VP configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
•
The cell-packing command is available only if you configure the ATM VC or VP with AAL0 encapsulation. If you specify AAL5 encapsulation, the command is not valid.
•
Only cells from the same VC or VP can be packed into one MPLS packet. Cells from different connections cannot be concantenated into the same MPLS packet.
•
When you change, enable, or disable the cell-packing attributes, the ATM VC or VP and the MPLS emulated VC are reestablished.
•
If a provider edge (PE) router does not support cell packing, the PE routers sends only one cell per MPLS packet.
•
The number of packed cells does not need to match between the PE routers. The two PE routers agree on the lower of the two values. For example, if PE1 is allowed to pack 10 cells per MPLS packet and PE2 is allowed to pack 20 cells per MPLS packet, the two PE routers would agree to send no more than 10 cells per packet.
•
If the number of cells packed by the peer PE router exceeds the limit, the packet is dropped.
•
If you issue the cell-packing command without first specifying the atm mcpt-timers command, you get the following error:
Please set mcpt values firstExamples
The following example shows cell packing enabled on an interface set up for VP mode. The cell-packing command specifies that 10 ATM cells be packed into each MPLS packet. The command also specifies that the second mcpt timer be used.

encapsulation mpls
To specify that Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is used as the data encapsulation method for tunneling Layer 2 traffic over the pseudowire, use the encapsulation mpls command in pseudowire class configuration mode. To remove MPLS as the encapsulation method, use the no pseudowire-class command (see the Usage Guidelines for more information).
encapsulation mpls
no pseudowire-class
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
Pseudowire class configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
You must specify encapsulation mpls as part of the xconnect command or as part of a pseudowire class for the AToM VCs to work properly.
Once you specify the encapsulation mpls command, you cannot remove it using the no encapsulation mpls command. Nor can you change the command's setting using the encapsulation l2tpv3 command. Those methods result in the following error message:
Encapsulation changes are not allowed on an existing pw-class.To remove the command, you must delete the pseudowire with the no pseudowire-class command. To change the type of encapsulation, remove the pseudowire with the no pseudowire-class command and re-establish the pseudowire and specify the new encapsulation type.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure MPLS as the data encapsulation method for the pseudowire class ether-pw:
Router(config)# pseudowire-class ether-pwRouter(config-pw)# encapsulation mplsRelated Commands
Command DescriptionConfigures L2TPv3 as the data encapsulation method over IP networks.
Specifies the name of a pseudowire class and enters pseudowire class configuration mode.
match fr-de
To match packets with the Frame Relay discard eligibility bit set, use the match fr-de command in class-map configuration mode. To remove the match criteria, use the no form of this command.
match fr-de
no match fr-de
Syntax Description
This command has no keywords or arguments.
Defaults
This command has no default behavior or values.
Command Modes
Class-map configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
For Cisco IOS Release 12.0(25)S, this command is supported on the Cisco 7500 series router only.
Examples
The following example creates a class called match-fr-de and matches packets with the FR DE bit set.
Router(config)# class-map match-fr-de
Router(config-cmap)# match fr-de
Router(config)# exit
Related Commands
Command DescriptionChanges the DE bit setting in the address field of a Frame Relay frame to 1 for all traffic leaving an interface.
preferred-path
To specify the path that traffic uses (an MPLS TE tunnel or destination IP address/DNS name), use the preferred-path command in pseudowire submode configuration mode. To disable tunnel selection, use the no form of this command.
preferred-path [interface tunnel tunnel-number | peer ip-address | host-name] [disable-fallback]
no preferred-path [interface tunnel tunnel-number | peer ip-address | host-name] [disable-fallback]
Syntax Description
Defaults
Tunnel selection is not enabled.
Command Modes
Pseudowire submode configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The following guidelines provide more information about using this command:
•
The destination IP address can be different from peer router ID used in LDP. For example, a peer provider edge (PE) router can have multiple loopback IP addresses, which can be reached by different paths, such as a TE tunnel, static IP route or IGP route.
•
This command is available only if the pseudowire encapsulation type is MPLS.
•
Tunnel selection is enabled when you exit from pseudowire submode.
•
The selected path should be a label switched path (LSP) destined to the peer PE router.
•
The selected tunnel must be an MPLS traffic engineering tunnel.
•
If you select a tunnel, the tunnel tailend must be on the remote PE router.
•
If you specify an IP address, that address must be the IP address of the loopback interface on the remote PE. The address must have a /32 mask.
Examples
The following example creates a pseudowire class and specifies Tunnel1 as the preferred path:
Router(config)# pseudowire-class pw1Router(config-pw)# encapsulation mpls
Router(config-pw)# preferred-path interface Tunnel1 disable-fallbackRelated Commands
Command DescriptionDisplays information about AToM VCs that have been enabled to route Layer 2 packets on a router.
remote circuit id
To use different VLAN IDs on each end of the MPLS tunnel for Ethernet over MPLS, use the remote circuit id command in xconnect configuration mode. To disable the VLAN ID rewrite functionality, use the no form of this command.
remote circuit id [remote-vlan-id]
no remote circuit id [remote-vlan-id]
Syntax Description
Defaults
VLAN ID rewrite is not enabled.
Command Modes
xconnect configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The following guidelines provide more information about using this command:
•
You can use this command only with the Cisco 12000 series router Engine 2 3-port Gigabit Ethernet line card. See Configuring Ethernet over MPLS: VLAN ID Rewrite for more information about supported line cards and configurations.

show atm cell-packing
To display information about the virtual circuits (VCs) and virtual paths (VPs) that have ATM Cell Relay cell packing enabled, use the show atm cell-packing command in EXEC mode.
show atm cell-packing
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Command Modes
EXEC
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The number of packed cells does not need to match between the provider edge (PE) routers. The two PE routers agree on the lower of the two values. For example, if PE1 is allowed to pack 10 cells per MPLS packet and PE2 is allowed to pack 20 cells per MPLS packet, the two PE routers would agree to send no more than 10 cells per packet.
Examples
The following show atm cell-packing command displays VCs and VPs that have cell packing enabled:

Table 11 show mpls l2transport vc detail Field Descriptions
Field DescriptionLocal interface
Interface on the local router that has been enabled to transmit and receive Layer 2 packets. The interface varies, depending on the transport type. The output also shows the status of the interface.
line protocol
Status of the line protocol on the edge-facing interface.
local circuit
Type, number (if applicable) and status of the local circuit. The output varies, depending on the transport type:
•
For Frame Relay, the output shows the DCLI of the PVC.
•
For ATM cell relay and ATM AAL5, the output shows the VPI/VCI of the PVC.
•
For Ethernet VLANs, the output shows the VLAN number.
Destination address
IP address of the remote router specified for this VC. You specify the destination IP address as part of the mpls l2transport route command.
VC ID
Virtual circuit identifier assigned to the interface on the router.
VC status
Status of the VC. The status can be one of the following:
UP—The VC is in a state where it can carry traffic between the two VC endpoints. A VC is up when both imposition and disposition interfaces are programmed.
•
The disposition interface is programmed if the VC has been configured and the client interface is up.
•
The imposition interface is programmed if the disposition interface is programmed and a remote VC label and an IGP label exist. The IGP label can be an implicit null in a back-to-back configuration. (An IGP label means there is a LSP to the peer.)
DOWN—The VC is not ready to carry traffic between the two VC endpoints.
ADMIN DOWN—The VC has been disabled by a user.
Preferred path
Path that was assigned to the VC and the status of that path. The path can be an MPLS traffic engineering tunnel or an IP address or host name of a peer PE router.
Default path
Status of the default path, which can be disabled or ready.
By default, if the preferred path fails, the router uses the default path. However, you can disable the router from using the default path when the preferred path fails by specifying the disable-fallback keyword with the preferred-path command.
Tunnel label
An IGP label used to route the packet over the MPLS backbone to the destination router with the egress interface. The first part of the output displays the type of label. The second part of output displays the route information.
The tunnel label information can display any of the following states:
imp-null: The P router is absent and the tunnel label will not be used. Alternatively, imp-null can signify traffic engineering tunnels between the PE routers.
unassigned: The label has not been assigned.
no route: The label is not in the routing table.
no adjacency: The adjacency for the next hop is missing.
not ready, no route: An IP route for the peer does not exist in the routing table.
not ready, not a host table: The route in the routing table for the remote peer router is not a host route.
not ready, CEF disabled: CEF is disabled.
not ready, LFIB disabled: The MPLS switching subsystem is disabled.
not ready, LFIB entry present: The tunnel label exists in the LFIB, but the VC is down.
Output interface
Interface on the remote router that has been enabled to transmit and receive Layer 2 packets.
imposed label stack
Summary of the MPLS label stack used to direct the VC to the PE router.
Create time
Time when the VC was provisioned.
last status change time
Last time the VC state changed.
Signaling protocol
Type of protocol used to send the MPLS labels. The output also shows the status of the peer router.
MPLS VC labels
Local VC label is a disposition label, which determines the egress interface of an arriving packet from the MPLS backbone. The remote VC label is a disposition VC label of the remote peer router.
Group ID
Local group ID is used to group VCs locally. The remote group ID is used by the peer to group several VCs.
MTU
Maximum transmission unit specified for the local and remote interfaces.
Remote interface description
Interface on the remote router that has been enabled to transmit and receive Layer 2 packets.
Sequencing
Field describes whether sequencing of out-of-order packets is enabled or disabled.
packet totals
Number of packets sent and received. Received packets are those AToM packets received from the MPLS core. Sent packets are those AToM packets sent to the MPLS core. This does not include dropped packets.
byte totals
Number of bytes sent and received from the core-facing interface, including the payload, control word if present, and AToM VC label.
packet drops
Number of dropped packets.
switched-dlci
To provide a link between the specified data-link connection identifier (DLCI) and the subinterface, use the switched-dlci command in subinterface configuration mode. To remove the link, use the no form of this command.
switched-dlci dlci
no switched-dlci dlci
Syntax Description
Defaults
By default, a link does not exist between the DLCI and the subinterface.
