Introduction
This document shows a sample configuration of LAN emulation (LANE), circuit emulation service (CES), and variable bit rate (VBR) permanent virtual connections (PVCs) in shaped virtual path (VP) tunnels. In the configuration shown in this document, LANE, CES, and variable bit rate-non real-time (VBR-nrt) PVCs are transported across the WAN. These examples use shaped VP tunnels to ensure compliance with traffic contracts. When using shaped VP tunnels with traffic parameters identical to the service provider, the service provider’s ATM network should not drop any cells.
The VP tunnel must be of the constant bit rate (CBR) service category in order to be shaped: it is the only shaped tunnel that Cisco currently supports. You must have three VP tunnels because LANE uses unspecified bit rate (UBR) switched virtual connections (SVCs), CES uses CBR PVCs, you have a VBR PVC, and you are using shaped VP tunnels. You have one for each service category: CBR virtual channels (VCs) and UBR VCs. You could have used one tunnel by using hierarchical VP tunnels.

Components Used
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
-
Cisco IOS® Software Release 11.3(0.8)TWA4 ASP or later for the LightStream 1010 (LS1010)
-
Any version of the Cisco 8540-MSR
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Conventions

Assumptions
The example shown in this document assumes these facts:
-
Shaped tunnels must be of the CBR service category, so this example has a CBR VP tunnel that can only contain CBR VCs. It is used for CES CBR PVCs (labeled VPI1 in the network diagram). Note that the virtual path identifier (VPI) number is locally significant to the switch port, so you can have the same VPI number on the same switch, but two different switch ports.
-
Because shaped VP tunnels cannot simultaneously transport VCs of multiple service categories, the first VP tunnel used for CBR VCs cannot be used for LANE UBR VCs or the VBR-nrt PVC. You must create another VP tunnel for LANE (which uses UBR service category VCs). Therefore, the second VP tunnel (labeled VPI2 in the network diagram) is a CBR-shaped VP tunnel through which only UBR VCs are permitted.
-
A third shaped VP tunnel transports the VBR-nrt PVC (labeled VPI3 in the network diagram).
-
You need to purchase three CBR VPs from the service provider.
-
It is assumed that the three CBR VPs have a peak cell rate (PCR) of 10 Mbps and a cell delay variation tolerance (CDVT) of 500 cells. Note that the sum of the PCRs of all the VP tunnels defined on the same physical interface must be smaller than 95 percent of the line rate of the physical interface (assuming that only VP tunnels are configured on the physical interface).
-
For the VBR PVC, the sustained cell rate (SCR) of the PVC must be smaller than 95 percent of the PCR of the CBR-shaped VP tunnel. In other words, the PVC SCR must be smaller than 9.5 Mbps for the VBR-nrt. If there are multiple VBR PVCs going through the CBR tunnel, the sum of the SCRs of all the VBR PVCs must be smaller than 95 percent of the PCR of the shaped VP tunnel. The 5 percent remaining is reserved for signaling and other mandatory protocols.
-
Device 5500-asp-f is for VP switching. The service provider typically performs this function.
-
LANE services are defined on 8540-MSR; LAN Emulation Clients (LECs) are defined on 8540-MSR and 5500-asp-e.
Note: In this example, LANE services are placed on the ATM switch for simplicity. That is not, however, the optimal location for LANE services. The best place for a LAN Emulation Server (LES) or broadcast and unknown server (BUS) is on the LANE module of a Catalyst 5500. The ideal place for a LEC is on a Cisco 7500 series router.
-
The two private branch exchanges (PBXs) in the diagram use a CES CBR circuit. For details on how to configure circuit emulation, refer to Configuring Circuit Emulation Services.

Feature Displays
You can use the show commands in this section to verify configuration features on the device. Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only) , which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.
Note: You can use additional show commands to verify the configuration; not all of them are included in this document.
To ensure that all the LANE VCs go across the correct VP tunnel (in other words, to prevent signaling from being initiated through the main interface), signaling is disabled on the interface atm11/0/1 using the no atm signaling enable command. The same operation has been performed on the 8540-MSR.
To see which VCs are passing through the VP tunnel with a VPI of 7, issue the show atm vc interface interface-number command:
