Selecting MPSM Interfaces and Services
Selecting MPSM Interfaces and Services
MPSM cards are designed to support multiple interface types (T1, E1, T3, E3, and OC3) and multiple
services (ATM, Frame Relay, circuit emulation, and PPP), depending on the card. The following sections
describe the following procedures:
• Configuring MPSM-8-T1E1 Interfaces and Services
• Configuring MPSM-T3E3-155 and MPSM-16-T1E1 Interfaces and Services
Configuring MPSM-8-T1E1 Interfaces and Services
After you initialize an MPSM-8-T1E1 card (using the setrev command), the status changes from
Failed/Active to Standby/Active. To bring this card to the Active/Active state, you must specify the
interface type and service using the PXM cnfcdmode command.
To configure MPSM-8-T1E1 interfaces and services, follow this procedure:
Step 1 Establish a configuration session using a user name with SERVICE_GP privileges or higher.
Step 2 Enter the PXM cnfcdmode command using the following format:
M8850_SF.7.PXM.a > cnfcdmode <slot> <interfaceType> <service>
Table 4-1 defines the parameters for this command. After you enter the cnfcdmode command, the card
resets and the status changes to Active/Active.
The following example shows how to configure an MPSM-8-T1E1 card to use a T1 interface and Frame
Relay services:
M8850_SF.7.PXM.a > cnfcdmode 28 1 1
You are about to configure MPSM in slot 28 to :
Service Type : Frame Interface Type : T1
