Creating a Basic Configuration
To configure ATM, perform the following tasks.
(Figure 3 shows the relationship of Steps 1
through 3.)
- Configure an ATM physical interface.
- host1(config)#interface atm 0/1
- Configure an ATM 1483 subinterface.
- host1(config-if)#interface atm 0/1.20
- Configure a PVC by specifying the VCD, the VPI, the VCI,
and the encapsulation type.
- host1(config-subif)#atm pvc 10 15 22 aal5snap
- Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the PVC.
- host1(config-subif)#ip address 192.32.10.20
255.255.255.0
- (Optional) Verify your configuration using the appropriate show commands.
- host1#show atm interface atm 0/1
- host1#show atm vc atm 0/1 10
- host1#show atm subinterface atm 0/1.20
Figure 3: Configuring an ATM Interface,
Subinterface, and PVC

atm pvc
- Use to configure a PVC on an ATM interface.
- Specify one of the following encapsulation types:
-
aal5snap—Specifies an
LLC encapsulated circuit; LLC/SNAP header precedes the protocol datagram.
-
aal5mux ip—Specifies
a VC-based multiplexed circuit. This option is used for IP only.
-
aal5autoconfig—Enables
autodetection of the 1483 encapsulation (LLC/SNAP or VC multiplexed)
for dynamic interfaces. See Configuring Dynamic Interfaces, for more
explanation.
-
ilmi—Defines the PVC
for ILMI keepalive messages. You can set this option only on major
interfaces. After the PVC is set up for ILMI, use the atm ilmi-keepalive command to cause the router to generate ILMI
keepalive messages on the interface.
- You can optionally set the peak, average, and burst sizes. To use
VBR-RT or VBR-NRT as the service type, you must specify each of these
options.
- The default service type is UBR. To set a different service
type, specify one of the following keywords:
-
rt—Selects VBR-RT as
the service type. You can select rt only
if you set the peak, average, and burst parameters.
-
cbr—Selects CBR as the
service type. You must set the CBR rate in Kbps.
- To enable VC integrity and generation of OAM F5 loopback
cells on this circuit, use the oam keyword.
- Example
- host1(config-if)#atm pvc 6 0 11 aal5snap cbr
10000
- Use the no version to remove
the specified PVC.
- See atm pvc.
interface atm
- Use to configure an ATM interface or subinterface type.
- To specify an ATM interface for ERX-7xx models, ERX-14xx
models, and ERX-310 routers, use the slot/port.[subinterface ] format.
-
slot—Number of the chassis
slot
-
port—Port number on the I/O
module; on the OC3-2 GE APS I/O module, you can specify ATM interfaces
only in ports 0 and 1; port 2 is reserved for a Gigabit Ethernet interface
-
subinterface—Number of the
subinterface in the range 1–2147483647
- To specify an ATM interface for the E120 router or the
E320 router, use the slot/adapter/port[.subinterface ] format.
-
slot—Number of the chassis
slot
-
adapter—Identifier for the
IOA within the E320 chassis, either 0 or 1, where:
- 0 indicates that the IOA is installed in the right IOA
bay (E120 router) or the upper IOA bay (E320 router)
- 1 indicates that the IOA is installed in the left IOA
bay (E120 router) or the lower IOA bay (E320 router).
-
port—Port number on the IOA
-
subinterface—Number of the
subinterface in the range 1–2147483647
- Specify the type of interface or subinterface: point-to-point or multipoint. Point-to-point is the default.
- Examples
- host1(config-if)#interface atm 0/1.20
- host1(config-if)#interface atm 0/0/4.20
- Use the no version to remove
the subinterface or the logical interface.
- See interface atm.
