Configuring The Aip - Cisco CX-AIP-TM Installation And Configuration Manual

Configuring the AIP
Step 5
If an error message displays on the console terminal, refer to the appropriate reference publication
for error message definitions. If you experience other problems that you are unable to solve, contact
a service representative for assistance.
This completes the procedure for checking initial AIP status.
Configuring the AIP
Configuration of the AIP (and ATM) is a two-step process:

Note
On power up, the interface on a new AIP is shut down. To enable the interface, you must enter the
no shutdown command in configuration mode. When the AIP is enabled (taken out of shutdown)
with no additional arguments, the default interface configuration file parameters are used.
These default parameters are listed in Table 5.
32 Asynchronous Transfer Mode Interface Processor (AIP) Installation and Configuration
Use the show interfaces or show controllers cbus command to verify the status of the
ATM interface. (If the ATM interface is not configured, you must use the procedures in
the section "Configuring the AIP" to configure the interface.)
Configure the AIP. To do so, complete the following tasks:
— Enable the AIP
— Configure the rate queue
— Customize the AIP configuration (optional)
Configure PVCs
Configure SVCs
— Monitor and maintain the ATM interface (optional).
The first two tasks are required, and then you must configure at least one PVC or SVC. The VC
options you configure must match in three places: on the router, on the ATM switch, and at the
remote end of the PVC or SVC connection.
Configure the ATM switch to which your AIP will connect.
To configure your ATM switch, refer to the user documentation for your ATM switch.
