Configuring an RPM Management Connection
The following quick start procedure summarizes the RPM configuration procedure. This procedure
assumes the RPM already has a switch partition configured for the management connection.
The following quick start procedure summarizes the PXM configuration procedure.
Example Management Configuration
This example shows how to configure a management connection between an RPM-XF on one switch and
the PXM on another switch. In this example, the RPM-XF switch partition and the PXM atm0 interface
are already available.
The following example configures the RPM-XF switch interface, adds a slave connection, and displays
the NSAP address.
Router(config)#interface switch1.100 point-to-point
Router(config-subif)#ip address 10.10.10.200 255.255.255.0
Router(config-subif)#pvc 0/100
Router(config-if-atm-vc)#ubr 1544
Router(config-if-atm-vc)#switch connection vcc 0 100 master remote
Router(config-if-swconn)#end
Command Action
Step 1
switch partition Create and configure a partition for switch 1, as necessary.
Step 2
interface sw1.<subif>
point-to-point
Configure a point-to-point subinterface on switch 1.
Step 3
ip address <address> <mask> Assign an IP address to the switch subinterface. This IP address
must be in the same subnet as the atm0 port of the PXM card.
Step 4
pvc <vpi>/<vci>
ubr <rate>
Configure a PVC on the switch subinterface.
Note Specify 0 for the VPI.
Note In Release 5.3.00, the rate is configurable.
Step 5
switch connection vcc <vpi>
<vci> master remote
Add a slave endpoint to the switch subinterface.
Step 6
show switch connection vcc
<vpi> <vci>
Display the slave connection parameters, which include the
NSAP address.
Command Action
Step 1
dspndparm Verify that the PXM is configured for atm0 as a switch
management interface.
Step 2
ipifconfig atm0 <address>
<mask>
Assign an IP address to the atm0 port, as necessary. This IP
address must be in the same subnet as the switch interface on the
RPM card.
Step 3
svcifconfig atm0 remote <nsap>
pvc <vpi>.<vci>
Add a master connection endpoint. Use the NSAP address and
VPI/VCI of the slave endpoint.
Step 4
dspsvcif
Verify that the connection is up.
Step 5
routeshow
Verify that the RPM IP address is displayed in the route table.
