Addcon (Atm - Cisco MGX 8850 Installation And Configuration Manual

addcon (ATM)

addcon (ATM)
Establishes an ATM connection between the current node and one or more nodes in the network.
The addcon command for ATM adds any one of the following types of ATM connections:
•
Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
•
Variable Bit Rate (VBR)
•
Frame relay-to-ATM interworking connection (ATFR)
•
Frame relay-to-ATM interworking with ForeSight (ATFST) connection
•
Available Bit Rate according to ATM Forum standards (ABRSTD)
•
Available Bit Rate with ForeSight (ABRFST)
•
Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR)
This description has the following explanations in the form of figures and tables
•
Flow diagrams showing the sequence of parameter prompts for each connection type
— Figure D-1 shows the prompt sequence for CBR connections.
— Figure D-2 shows the prompt sequence for VBR connections.
— Figure D-3 shows the prompt sequence for ATFR connections.
— Figure D-4 shows the prompt sequence for ATFST connections
— Figure D-5 shows the prompt sequence for ABRSTD connections.
— Figure D-6 shows the prompt sequence for ABRFST connections.
— Figure D-7 shows the prompt sequence for UBR connections.

For detailed descriptions of the connection types, traffic classes, policing, and ATM-related topics,
refer to the Cisco BPX 8600 Series Reference, the Cisco WAN Switching System Overview, and the
ATM Forum specifications.
The node on which addcon executes is the "owner" of the connection. Connection ownership is
important because automatic rerouting and preferred routing information is entered on the node that
owns the connection. See the cnfpref and cnfcos descriptions for details on automatic rerouting.
The parameter prompts depend on the connection type. The figures on this and the following pages
are flow diagrams showing the sequence of possible parameter prompts according to the connection
type. The flow diagrams begin at the point after you have entered the remote node name and VPI and
VCI (which are common parameters). The subsequent tables define the parameters and list the
defaults and ranges for each parameter.
A form of notation appears for some parameters that may need explanation. The notation is either
(0), (1), or (0+1). This refers to the state of the Cell Loss Priority (CLP) bit. The usage of the CLP
bit is in the traffic policing schemes. (0+1) means cells with CLP=0 or 1. (0) means cells with
CLP=0. (1) means cells with CLP=1. The CLP bit is used in different contexts. For example, CDVT
(0+1) refers to Cell Delay Variation Tolerance (CDVT) for cells with CLP=0 or 1.
