PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter
PA-A2 ATM CES Configurations
In the following example on a Cisco 7200 series router, the ESI and Selector field values are assigned,
and the ILMI PVC is set up:
Router(config)# interface atm 4/0
Router(config-if)# esi-address 345678901234.12
Configuring Classical IP and ARP over ATM
Cisco implements both the ATM Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) server and ATM ARP client
functions described in RFC 1577. RFC 1577 models an ATM network as a logical IP subnetwork on a
LAN.
The tasks required to configure classical IP and ARP over ATM depend on whether there are SVCs or
PVCs present in the environment. For further information, refer to the Wide-Area Networking
Configuration Guide.
Classes of Service and Transmit Priority on the PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter
The transmit priority determines which queued cell is chosen to be transmitted out an interface during a
cell time slot and ensures that real-time ATM service classes, which typically offer more robust QoS and
traffic guarantees, have a higher likelihood of access to the next cell time slot.
Table 4-1
lists the ATM
service classes and their default transmit priorities on the PA-A2 ATM CES port adapter.
Note
Refer to the Feature Module documentation and Technical Tips on Cisco.com for detailed information
about classes of service, configuration features, and the Cisco IOS releases that the support specific
features.
You can use the transmit priority command in VC configuration mode to change the priority value. The
following example shows a customized prioritization scheme with the transmit priority value of a VC
changed from four to two.
Caution
Transmit priority 0 is reserved for control traffic like OAM and signaling.
