Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces

This chapter describes steps required to configure the ATM router module on the Catalyst 8540 MSR,
Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM switch routers. The ATM router module allows you
to integrate Layer 3 switching with ATM switching on the same ATM switch router.

Note

This chapter provides advanced configuration instructions for the Catalyst 8540 MSR,
Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM switch routers. For complete
descriptions of the commands mentioned in this chapter, refer to the ATM Switch Router
Command Reference publication. For hardware installation and cabling instructions, refer
to the ATM Port Adapter and Interface Module Installation Guide.

Note

ATM router module and Layer 3 feature support is only available with the
Catalyst 8510 MSR system software image. You can download this image to a
LightStream 1010 ATM switch router with ASP-C and FC-PFQ installed. The
LightStream 1010 image does not include support for the ATM router module or
Layer 3 features.

Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces

Overview of the ATM Router Module

Overview of the ATM Router Module

The ATM router module interface module allows you to integrate Layer 3 routing and ATM switching
within a single chassis. When you install the ATM router module, you no longer need to choose either
Layer 3 or ATM technology, as is frequently the case with enterprise campus and MAN applications.
The Catalyst 8540 MSR ATM router module offers the following benefits:

Interoperates with all of the Layer 3 switching interface modules available in the
Catalyst 8540 CSR chassis. For more information on the Catalyst 8540 CSR Layer 3 interface
modules, refer to the Catalyst 8540 CSR Route Processor and Interface Module Installation Guide.

Provides an integrated high performance link between ATM and Layer 3 cards. The ATM router
module provides an aggregate switching capacity of 2 Gbps between ATM and Layer 3 ports
(2 x 1 Gbps interfaces per module). Data transfers to the switch core at the rate of 1 Gbps.

Simplifies management.

Hot-swappable.

Occupies only one slot in the chassis.

Supports LANE clients (LECs).

Supports multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM (RFC 1483) and classical ATM over IP permanent
virtual channels (PVCs) (RFC 1577).

Supports Bridge Group Virtual Interface (BVI).

Supports PVC management using OAM.

The Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM router module offers the following benefits:

Interoperates with all of the Layer 3 switching interface modules available in the
Catalyst 8510 CSR chassis. For more information on the Catalyst 8510 CSR Layer 3 interface
modules, refer to the Catalyst 8510 CSR Route Processor and Interface Module Installation Guide.

Provides an integrated high performance link between ATM and Layer 3 cards. The ATM router
module provides a switching capacity of 1 Gbps between ATM and Layer 3 ports. Data transfers to
the switch core at the rate of 1 Gbps.

Simplifies management.

Hot-swappable.

Occupies only one slot in the chassis.

Supports multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM (RFC 1483) and classical ATM over IP permanent
virtual channels (PVCs) (RFC 1577).

Supports BVI.

Supports PVC management using OAM.

The ATM router module has no external interfaces. All traffic is sent and received through internal
interfaces to the switching fabric. The Catalyst 8540 MSR ATM router module has two internal ports
and for the Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM router module has one internal port.
The ATM router module can perform one or more of the functions described in Figure 21-1.

The ATM router module receives Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages and route broadcasts
from connected ATM peers and sends the appropriate control information to the route processor. On the
ATM side, the ATM router module connects to the switching fabric as would any other interface
module.
On the Catalyst 8540 MSR, the ATM router module supports LANE clients (LECs), but not the LANE
servers (LES, LECS, and BUS). It separates the control and data path so that all LANE control messages
are handled by the route processor, and data messages are switched on the ATM router module port, as
shown in Figure 21-2. The LEC is configured on the ATM router module interface, but control message
traffic is sent to the route processor by the ATM router module. The ATM router module sends all ATM
data traffic to the appropriate VCs.

Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces

Hardware and Software Restrictions

The following software restrictions apply to the Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR, and
LightStream 1010 ATM router modules:

Use tag switching functionality with caution. Do not distribute routes learned through tag switching
to Fast Ethernet (FE) or Gigabit Ethernet (GE), or vice versa. Otherwise, you might have
unreachable route destinations.

The ATM router module does not initialize if it replaces an ATM port adapter or interface module
when hierarchical VP tunnels are globally enabled. Reboot the switch to initialize the ATM router
module.

ATM Director does not support any PVC commands.

Only LANE clients or RFC 1483, not both, can be configured on an ATM router module interface.

RFC 1483 on the ATM router module supports only ATM adaption layer 5 (AAL5) Subnetwork
Access Protocol (SNAP) encapsulation.

The Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM router modules do not
support the following features:

Point-to-point subinterfaces. Only point-to-multipoint subinterfaces are supported.

Tag-edged router functionality

Fast Simple Server Redundancy Protocol (FSSRP)

Bridging for multiplexing device encapsulation

Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) IP multipoint signalling

PIM nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA)

PIM over ATM multipoint signalling

Translation from IP quality of service (QoS) to ATM QoS

Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) to ATM SVC

PVC management using ILMI

Access lists for ATM to ATM routing

Half-bridge devices

RFC 1577 SVCs

RFC 1483 MUX encapsulation

The following software restrictions apply to the Catalyst 8540 MSR ATM router modules:

You can have a maximum of 64 LECs per chassis.

Do not install an ATM router module in a slot pair where hierarchical VP tunnels are configured.
Slot pairs 0 and 1, 2 and 3, 9 and 10, and 11 and 12 use the same switching modules for scheduling.
For example, do not install an ATM router module in slot 10 when hierarchical VP tunnels are
configured on slot 9. For more information on hierarchical VP tunneling restrictions, refer to the
Configuring a Hierarchical VP Tunnel for Multiple Service Categories section on page 6-37.

Token Ring LANE is not supported.

Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces

The following software restrictions apply to Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM router
modules:

Do not install an ATM router module in a slot pair where hierarchical VP tunnels are configured.
Slot pair 0 and 1 and slot pair 3 and 4 use the same switching modules for scheduling. For example,
do not install an ATM router module in slot 1 when hierarchical VP tunnels are configured on
slot 0. For more information on hierarchical VP tunneling restrictions, refer to the Configuring a
Hierarchical VP Tunnel for Multiple Service Categories section on page 6-37.

LANE clients are not supported.

Only UBR PVCs are supported.

Note

The ATM router module is only supported on ATM switches which have ASP-C
with FC-PFQ installed.

Note

ATM router module and Layer 3 feature support is only available with the
Catalyst 8510 MSR system software image. You can download this image to a
LightStream 1010 ATM switch router with ASP-C and FC-PFQ installed. The
LightStream 1010 image does not include support for the ATM router module or
Layer 3 features.

Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces

The you can configure the following features directly on the ATM router module interfaces:

Maximum virtual channel identifier (VCI) bits

LANE component LEC (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

RFC 1483

Classical IP over ATM (RFC 1577)

Bridging

IP multicast

Note

This document describes how to configure ATM software features only. For information
on how to configure the Layer 3 modules that interoperate with the ATM router module in
the Catalyst 8540 MSR chassis, refer to the Layer 3 Switching Software Feature and
Configuration Guide, which is available on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with
your ATM switch router, online at [Link], or you can order a hard copy separately.

Note

ATM router modules have internal interfaces, but no external ports. Use the interface atm
card/subcard/port command to specify these interfaces.

Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces

Configuring LECs on ATM Router Module Interfaces (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

Note

Virtual path identifier (VPI) 2 is reserved for ATM router module interfaces, which allows
you to configure up to 2048 external VCs on each ATM router module interface. Using
VPI 0 would have allowed less than 1024 external VCs on an ATM router module interface
because the ATM router module external VCs would have been forced to share the VC
space within VPI 0 with the internal PVCs.

Default ATM Router Module Interface Configuration Without

Autoconfiguration
If ILMI is disabled or if the connecting end node does not support ILMI, the following defaults are
assigned to all ATM router module interfaces:

ATM interface type = UNI

UNI version = 3.0

Maximum VCI bits = 11

ATM interface side = network

ATM UNI type = private

Manual ATM Router Module Interface Configuration

To manually change the default configuration values, perform the following steps, beginning in global
configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port Specifies an ATM interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
Switch(config-if)#

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# atm maxvci-bits max-vci-bits Modifies the maximum number of active

VCI bits.
Example

The following example shows how to change the default number of active VCI bits:
Switch(config)# interface atm 0/0/0
Switch(config-if)# atm maxvci-bits 10

Configuring LECs on ATM Router Module Interfaces

(Catalyst 8540 MSR)
The procedures for configuring LANE clients (LECs) on the ATM router module are the same as the
configuration for LECs on the route processor, with one exception. To specify an ATM router module
interface, rather than the route processor interface, use the interface atm card/subcard/port command.
On the route processor, you would use the interface atm 0 command.

Configuring LECs on ATM Router Module Interfaces (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

Note

To route traffic between an emulated LAN and a Fast Ethernet (FE) or Gigabit Ethernet
(GE) interface, you must configure the LEC on an ATM router module interface rather
than a route processor interface.

Note

An ATM router module interface can be configured for either LECs or RFC 1483 PVCs,
not both. For both features to operate on the same ATM router module, configure LECs on
one interface and RFC 1483 PVCs on the other.
To configure a LEC on an ATM router module interface, use the following commands, beginning in
global configuration mode:

Step 1

Command

Purpose

Switch(config)# interface atm

card/subcard/[Link]# multipoint

Creates the ATM router module

point-to-multipoint subinterface and enters
subinterface mode.

Switch(config-subif)#

Note

The ATM router module only supports

point-to-multipoint subinterfaces.

Step 2

Switch(config-subif)# ip address ip-address mask Provides a protocol address for the client on this
subinterface.

Step 3

Switch(config-subif)# lane client ethernet

elan-name

Enables a LANE client for an emulated LAN.

Example

The following example shows how to configure two LECs on an ATM router module interface:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface atm 1/0/0.4 multipoint
Switch(config-subif)# ip address [Link] [Link]
Switch(config-subif)# lane client ethernet VLAN4
Switch(config-subif)# exit
Switch(config)# interface atm 1/0/0.5 multipoint
Switch(config-subif)# ip address [Link] [Link]
Switch(config-subif)# lane client ethernet VLAN5
Switch(config-subif)# exit
Switch(config)# router ospf 1
Switch(config-router)# network [Link] [Link] area 0
Switch(config-router)# network [Link] [Link] area 0

Configuring RFC 1483

This section describes how to configure multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM, as defined in
RFC 1483, on the ATM router module.
The primary use of RFC 1483 is to carry multiple Layer 3 and bridged frames over ATM. RFC 1483
traffic is routed through an ATM router module interface using static map lists. Static map lists provide
an alternative to using the ATM Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and ATM Inverse ARP (InARP)
mechanisms. For more information on static map lists, refer to the Mapping a Protocol Address to a
PVC Using Static Map Lists section on page 12-7.
For a detailed description of RFC 1483, refer to the Guide to ATM Technology.

Note

Traffic shaping and policing are not supported on the ATM router module interfaces. Use
VP tunnels as an alternative for traffic shaping on ATM connections. For more information
on VP tunnels, refer to the Configuring VP Tunnels section on page 6-33.
To configure multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM on the ATM router module interface, use the

Configuring Classical IP over ATM in a PVC Environment

This section describes how you configure classical IP over ATM, as described by RFC 1577, in a PVC
environment on the ATM router module. The ATM Inverse ARP (InARP) mechanism is applicable to
networks that use permanent virtual channels (PVCs), where connections are established but the
network addresses of the remote ends are not known. For more information on configuring ATM ARP
and ATM InARP, refer to the Configuring Classical IP over ATM section on page 12-1.
For a description of classical IP over ATM and RFC 1577, refer to the Guide to ATM Technology.
In a PVC environment, configure the ATM InARP mechanism on the ATM router module by performing
the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Command

Purpose

Step 1

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port Specifies the interface on the ATM router module
to configure.
Switch(config-if)#

Step 2

Switch(config-if)# ip address ip-address mask

Step 3

Switch(config-if)# atm pvc 2 vci interface atm

Creates a PVC and enables ATM InARP.
card/subcard/port vpi vci encap aal5snap [inarp
minutes]
Note
The VPI number on the ATM router
module interface must be 2.

Specifies the IP address of the interface.

Repeat these tasks for each PVC you want to create.

The inarp minutes interval specifies how often inverse ARP datagrams are sent on this virtual circuit.
The default value is 15 minutes.
Example

The following example shows how to configure an IP-over-ATM interface on interface ATM 3/0/0,
using a PVC with AAL5SNAP encapsulation, InARP set to ten minutes, VPI = 2, and VCI = 100:
Switch(config)# interface atm 3/0/0
Switch(config-if)# ip address [Link] [Link]
Switch(config-if)# atm pvc 2 100 interface atm 0/0/0 50 100 encap aal5snap inarp 10

Configuring Packet Flooding on a PVC

Typically, a specific static map list configuration is not required for bridging to occur. In case of packet
flooding, the bridging mechanism individually sends the packet to be flooded on all PVCs configured
on the interface. To restrict the broadcast of the packets to only a subset of the configured PVCs you
must define a separate static map list. Use the broadcast keyword in the static-map command to restrict
packet broadcasting.
