Chapter 3 Provisioning ATM Services
General AXSM Configuration Procedures
Use the following procedure to add destination addresses to a static link.
Step 1 Establish a configuration session using a user name with GROUP1 privileges or higher.
Step 2 To locate the port to which you want to add an address, enter the dsppnports command.
Step 3 Specify an ATM address using the following command:
addaddr [ shelf.]slot[:subslot].port[:subport ] atm-address length [-type {int|ext}]
[-proto {local | static}] [-plan {e164|nsap}] [-scope value] [-redst {yes|no}]
[-tnid tnid]
Note The addaddr command is used to define destination addresses for static links and to specify static
addresses for links to CPE. The command format above shows the options as they apply when defining
destination addresses for static links.
Step 4 To verify that the new address has been assigned, enter the following command:
MGX8850.7.PXM.a > dspatmaddr < portid >
Replace <portid> with the port address using the format slot:bay.line:ifnum. For example:
MGX8850.7.PXM.a > dspaddr 2:1.2:2
47.0091.8100.0000.0003.6b5e.30cd.0003.6b5e.30cd.01
length: 160 type: exterior proto: static
scope: 0 plan: nsap_icd redistribute: false
Configuring Point-to-Multipoint SPVCs and SPVPs
In point-to-multipoint (P2MP) connections, one master endpoint, or root, can be configured to support
several slave endpoints, or parties.
P2MP SPVCs and SPVPs are created between several ATM CPE. In a P2MP connection, the root is
responsible for routing and rerouting, and the parties are responsible for responding to requests from the
master during connection setup and rerouting. The root and its parties are configured on the switch to
which the ATM CPE connects. These endpoints can be on the same switch or on different switches.
P2MP functionality is necessary for the following applications:
• data and video broadcast
• LAN emulation
The procedures in this section describe how to configure P2MP connections on AXSM/B, AXSM-E, and
AXSM-XG cards. For more detailed information on planning and establishing P2MP connections in a
PNNI network, refer to the Cisco PNNI Network Planning Guide for MGX and SES Products.
Note P2MP is not supported on AXSM/A cards.
Keep the following in mind when configuring P2MP connections on AXSM cards:
• P2MP is supported on switches with PXM45/B and PXM45/C controllers only. PXM45/A switches
do not support P2MP.
• AXSM-E cards do not support egress multicasting and, therefore, do not support branching.
