Configuring Card-Level Parameters, Lines, and Ports
This section describes how to configure card-level features, activate a physical line, and configure
logical elements such as a port. If necessary, refer to the section titled "Tasks for Configuring Cards
and Services" for background information on these types of tasks.

Optionally, you can modify the resource partitioning for the whole card by executing
cnfcdrscprtn. You can view resource partitioning through dspcdrscprtn.
cnfcdrscprtn <number_PAR_conns> <number_PNNI_conns> <number_TAG_conns>
•
number_PAR_conns is the number of connections in the range 0–32767 for PAR.
•
number_PNNI_conns is the number in the range 0–32767 available to PNNI.
•
number_TAG_conns is the number of connections in the range 0–32767 for MPLS.
For example, you could reserve 10,000 connections for each controller on the PXM with:
cnfcdrscprtn 10000 10000 10000
Activate a line by executing addln:
addln -ds3 <slot.line> | -e3 <slot.line> | -sonet <slot.line>
•
-ds3 indicates a T3 line parameter follows.
•
-e3 indicates an E3 line parameter follows.
•
-sonet indicates an OC-3 or OC-12 line parameter follows.
•
slot is 7 or 8 for the PXM. If the switch has a single of redundant pair of SRMs,
execute addln for slots 15, 16, 31, and 32.
•
line has the range 1–4 but depends on the number of lines on the back card.
For a feeder, you can activate only one line. For a stand-alone, you can activate more than
one line if the back card has multiple lines. One line must serve as the trunk to the ATM
network. With an OC-3, T3, or E3 card, remaining lines can serve as UNI ports to CPE.
If necessary, modify the characteristics of a line by using cnfln.
Configure logical ports for the physical line by executing addport. Execute addport
once for each logical port. Related commands are cnfport, dspports, and delport.
addport <port_num> <line_num> <pct_bw> <min_vpi> <max_vpi>
•
port_num is the number for the logical port. The range is 1–32 for user-ports or 34 for
inband ATM PVCs that serve as management connections.
•
line_num is the line number in the range 1–4 but depends on the type of uplink card.
•
pct_bw is the percentage of bandwidth. The range is 0–100. This parameter applies to
both ingress and egress.
•
min_vpi is the minimum VPI value. On a feeder, the range is 0–4095. On a stand-alone
node, the range is 0–255.
•
max_vpi is the maximum VPI value. On a feeder, the range is 0–4095. On a
stand-alone node, the range is 0–255.
