Configuring Interfaces

This chapter describes the steps required to configure the physical interfaces on the ATM switch router.

Your switch is configured as specified in your order and is ready for installation and startup when it

leaves the factory.

This chapter provides advanced configuration instructions for the Catalyst 8540 MSR,

Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM switch routers. For complete descriptions of the

commands mentioned in this chapter, refer to the ATM Switch Router Command Reference publication.

For hardware installation and cabling instructions, refer to the ATM and Layer 3 Port Adapter and

Interface Module Installation Guide.

Each port on the interface module or interface module physical interface can be configured to support

the following clocking options:

Self-timing based on a stratum 4 level clock

Loop timing from the received data stream—ideal for public network connections

Timing synchronized to a selected master clock port; required to distribute a single clock across a

The plug-and-play mechanisms of the ATM switch router allow it to come up automatically. All

configuration information for interface modules can be saved between hot swaps and switch router

reboots. The switch router automatically discovers interface types and eliminates mandatory manual

configuration.
