Configuring ATM Cell Packing over MPLS on a Port
Port mode cell packing allows multiple cells coming into an ATM interface to be packed into an MPLS
packet and transported over the MPLS backbone to an egress ATM interface.
To configure port mode, you issue the
xconnect
command from an ATM main interface and specify the
destination address and the VC ID. The syntax and semantics of the
xconnect
command are the same as
for all other transport types. Each ATM port is associated with one unique pseudowire VC label.
Perform this task to configure cell packing ATM over MPLS in port mode.
Restrictions
•
In cell packing, only cells from the same VC/VP can be packed into one MPLS packet. Cells from
different connections cannot be concatenated into the same MPLS packet
Step 4
atm mcpt-timers
[
timer1-timeout
timer2-timeout timer3-timeout
]
Example:
Router(config-if)# atm mcpt-timers 100 200
1000
Sets up the cell-packing timers, which specify how long the PE
router can wait for cells to be packed into an MPLS packet.
You can set up to three timers. For each timer, you specify the
maximum cell packing timeout (MCPT). This value gives the cell
packing function a limited amount of time to complete. If the
timer expires before the maximum number of cells are packed
into an AToM packet, the packet is sent anyway. The range of
values is from 2 to 4095.
Step 5
atm pvp
vpi
l2transport
Example:
Router(config-if)#
atm pvp vpi 1
l2transport
Specifies that the PVP is dedicated to transporting ATM cells. The
l2transport
keyword indicates that the PVC is a switched PVC
and not a terminated PVC.
Step 6
cell-packing
cells
mcpt-timer
timer
Example:
Router(cfg-if-atm-l2trans-pvc)#
cell-packing 10 mcpt-timer 1
Enables cell packing and specifies the cell packing parameters.
The
cells
value represents the maximum number of cells to be
packed into an MPLS packet. The range is from 2 to 28.
The
timer
value
allows you to specify which timer to use.
Step 7
xconnect
peer-router-id vcid
encapsulation
mpls
Example:
Router(cfg-if-atm-l2trans-pvc)# xconnect
13.13.13.13 100 encapsulation mpls
Binds the attachment circuit to a pseudowire VC or VP.
