Preface
This preface describes the audience, organization, and conventions for the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide, and provides information on how to obtain related documentation.
Audience
This publication is intended for experienced network administrators who are responsible for configuring and maintaining the Layer 3 enabled ATM switch router.
New and Changed Information
CiscoView Autonomous Device Package (ADP)
Provides another, more user-friendly, interface for configuring and managing the switch router apart from the existing conventional methods of terminal access.
For more information, see "Understanding the User Interface,"of this configuration guide.
Radius Support (TACACS+-like authentication)
RADIUS is a distributed client/server system that secures networks against unauthorized access.
For more information, see "Configuring System Management Functions," of this configuration guide.
SVC/Soft-VC/PVC preservation
This feature allows SVC, Soft VC, and PVC preservation upon a route processor switchover.
For more information, see Chapter 6, "Configuring Virtual Connections," of this configuration guide.
Mobile Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI)
Distributes topology information between switches and clusters of switches. This information is used to compute paths through the network.
For more information, see "Configuring ATM Routing and PNNI," of this configuration guide.
Policy Based Routing
Policy based routing is a more flexible mechanism for routing packets than destination routing. It is a process whereby the router puts packets through a route map before routing them. The route map determines which packets are routed to which router next.
For more information on policy based routing, see "Configuring IP over ATM," of this configuration guide.
This feature is also documented in the Configuring IP Routing Protocol-Independent Features section of the Cisco IOS IP and IP Routing Configuration Guide.
IP QoS Support
IP QoS is now supported on Gigabit processor interfaces.
For more information, see Chapter 21, "Configuring Quality of Service," of this configuration guide.
Rate Limiting and traffic shaping
Rate limiting is similar to the IOS committed access rate (CAR) feature. It limits the input or output transmission rate on an interface or subinterface.
Traffic shaping is similar to the IOS GTS feature. It allows you to shape output traffic (egress traffic) on a per-physical port basis.
For more information on rate limiting and traffic shaping, see "Configuring the ATM Traffic-Shaping Carrier Module," of this configuration guide.
Traffic Shaping Carrier Module (Catalyst 8510 MSR)
The following new traffic shaping features are available:
•
The Traffic Shaping Carrier Module (TSCAM) directs traffic through a particular interface on the module based on traffic class and priority.
•
For more information, see Chapter 23, "Configuring Rate Limiting and Traffic Shaping,"of this configuration guide.
Enhanced ATM Router Module and ATM Router Module Enhancements
The following enhancements are supported in this release:
•
•
•
For more information on the ATM Router Module, see Chapter 24, "Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces" of this configuration guide.
For information on configuring PVCs, VBR, and shaped tunnels, refer to Chapter 6, Chapter 8, and Chapter 18 of this guide.
In addition to those listed above, the following feature is new to this release:
•
For more information on this feature, see the Layer 3 Switching Software Feature and Configuration Guide.
Organization
The major sections of this guide are as follows:
Provides an overview of the ATM switch router features and functions.
Describes how to access the commands available in each command mode and explains the primary uses for each command mode.
Describes the initial configuration of the ATM switch router.
Describes the tasks to manage the general system features, such as access control and basic management of the ATM switch router.
Describes how to configure typical ATM network interfaces after autoconfiguration has established the default network connections.
Describes how to configure virtual connections after autoconfiguration has determined the default virtual connections.
Describes the OAM fault management and performance management functions of the ATM switch router.
Describes how to configure the management of switch, interface, and connection resources.
Describes the Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI) protocol implementation and configuration.
Describes how to configure the Interim Interswitch Signaling Protocol (IISP) and the Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) protocol.
Describes how to configure and maintain access control lists.
Describes how to configure the Ethernet port for IP over ATM connections.
Describes how to configure LAN emulation on the ATM switch router.
Describes the ATM accounting and ATM Remote Monitoring features and their configuration.
Describes how to configure tag switching on the ATM switch router.
Describes how to configure common and specialized signalling features.
Describes the steps required to configure the individual port adapter and interface module.
Describes the steps to configure the Circuit Emulation Services port adapter modules.
Configuring Frame Relay to ATM Interworking Port Adapter Interfaces
Describes the steps to configure the Frame Relay to ATM interworking port adapter modules.
Describes the steps to configure inverse multiplexing over ATM port adapter interfaces.
Describes the quality of service (QoS) features built into your switch router and includes information on how to configure the QoS functionality.
Describes the features and configuration procedures for the ATM traffic-shaping carrier module (TSCAM).
Describes rate limiting features and configuration procedures for your switch router.
Describes the steps to integrate Layer 3 routing and ATM switching with the ATM router module.
Managing Configuration Files, System Images, and Functional Images
Includes procedures for updating and maintaining the ATM switch router software and configurations.
Provides examples for migrating from a flat PNNI topology to a hierarchical topology.
Appendix B
Lists the acronyms used in this guide.
Related Documentation
This document provides detailed ATM software configuration examples; however, it does not provide complete ATM software command syntax descriptions or extensive background information on ATM features. For detailed ATM software command syntax information, refer to the ATM Switch Router Command Reference publication. For detailed background information on ATM features and functionality, refer to the Guide to ATM Technology.
You will also find useful information on the command-line interface (CLI) and basic ATM switch router management in the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference publications.
The ATM switch router documentation set is primarily ATM-specific. You might be referred to the Cisco IOS documentation set for information about IP and router configuration and other non-ATM related features. For example, when configuring the IP address on the ATM switch processor, only basic configuration steps are provided. If you need additional overview or detailed IP configuration information, refer to the Cisco IOS documentation set.
The ATM switch router documents are separated into two groups:
•
•
The ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide is one of the advanced configuration documents and should only be used after you have completed the processes described in the basic document set. Refer to the following documents for detailed hardware installation, basic configuration information, and troubleshooting information:
