After you have completed your configuration, you can check it using show commands. For an
explanation of show commands, refer to the section "Using show Commands to Check the
Configuration" on page 41.
Configuring the Rate Queue
A rate queue defines the maximum speed at which an individual virtual circuit (VC) transmits data
to a remote ATM host. There are no default rate queues. Every VC must be associated with one rate
queue.
The AIP supports up to eight different peak rates. The peak rate is the maximum rate, in kilobits per
second, at which a VC can transmit data. After attachment to this rate queue, the VC is assumed to
have its peak rate set to that of the rate queue.
You can configure each rate queue independently to a portion of the overall bandwidth available on
the ATM link. The combined bandwidths of all rate queues should not exceed the total bandwidth
available for the AIP physical layer interface. The total bandwidth depends on the PLIM. (For PLIM
information, refer to the section "AIP Interface Types" on page 6.)
The rate queues are broken into a high (0 through 3) and low (4 through 7) bank. When the rate
queues are configured, the AIP will service the high priority banks until they are empty and then
service the low priority banks.
34 Asynchronous Transfer Mode Interface Processor (AIP) Installation and Configuration
At the prompt, specify the new ATM interface to configure by entering the interface
command, followed by the type (atm) and slot/port (interface processor slot
number/port number). The example that follows is for an AIP in interface processor
slot 1:
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0
If IP routing is enabled on the system, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to
the interface with the ip address configuration subcommand, as in the following
example:
Router(config)# ip address 1.1.1.3 255.255.255.0
Change the shutdown state to up and enable the ATM interface as follows:
Router(config)# no shutdown
The no shutdown command passes an enable command to the AIP, which then begins
segmentation and reassembly (SAR) operations. It also causes the AIP to configure itself
based on the previous configuration commands sent.
Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and
adjust the interface characteristics.
When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the
configuration, enter ^Z (hold down the Control key while you press Z) to exit
configuration mode.
Write the new configuration to memory as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
The system will display an OK message when the configuration has been stored.
