Route Processor Module Installation and Configuration Guide. Multiprotocol Label Switching The BPX 8650 MPLS switch combines a BPX switch with a separate MPLS controller (Cisco Series 7200 or 6400 router). By integrating the switching and routing functions, MPLS combines the reachability, scalability, and flexibility provided by the router function with the traffic engineering optimizing capabilities of the switch.
It is responsive to changes in network resources and availability. PNNI is available on the BPX switch when an optional Cisco Service Expansion Shelf (SES) PNNI is installed. This controller is connected locally to a BPX 8600 series switch to provide PNNI signaling and routing for the establishment of ATM and Frame Relay switched virtual circuits (SVCs) and Soft Permanent Virtual Circuits (SPVCs) over a BPX 8600 wide area network.
This section is a brief description of the BPX switch’s support for Virtual Private Networks (VPN). For additional information, refer to the Cisco MPLS Controller Software Configuration Guide. Conventional VPNs that use dedicated lease lines or Frame Relay Private Virtual Circuits (PVC) and a meshed network (see Figure 1-2) provide many advantages, but typically have been limited in efficiency and flexibility.

Each of these segments are added, configured and deleted independently of the other segments. Use the Cisco WAN Manager Connection Manager to configure and control these individual segments as a single end-to-end connection. Interface shelves are attached to the routing network through a BPX routing hub using a BXM trunk (T3/E3 or OC-3) or BNI trunk (T3/E3).
Updates are generated whenever the alarm state of the interface shelf changes between Unreachable, Major, Minor, and OK alarm states. An interface shelf is displayed as a unique icon in the Cisco WAN Manager topology displays. The colors of the icon and connecting trunks indicate the alarm state of each.
Ability to connect BNI or BXM trunk interfaces to a public network using standard ATM UNI cell • format. Virtual trunking is provisioned through either a Public ATM Cloud or a Cisco WAN switching ATM • cloud. A virtual trunk may be defined as a “trunk over a public ATM service.” The trunk really doesn’t exist as a physical line in the network.
VC queues based on network congestion feedback. Dynamic Buffer Management, Cisco’s Frame Relay and ATM service modules are equipped with • large buffers and a dynamic buffer management technique for allocating and scaling the buffers on a per VC basis to traffic entering or leaving a node.
Automatic Routing Management With Automatic Routing Management, connections in Cisco WAN switching networks are added if there is sufficient bandwidth across the network and are automatically routed when they are added. You need enter only the endpoints of the connection at one end of the connection and the IGX switch and BPX switch software automatically set up a route based on a sophisticated routing algorithm.
Other triggers include trunk line/card failure, node failure, and communication failure. The most prominent event is a trunk failure. For information on setting up Priority Bumping, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference, Release 9.3.30.

CR feature, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference, Release 9.3.30. A maximum of eight concurrent routes can be configured on a node. However, a node is able only to master two routes concurrently, any remaining concurrent routing capacity is used for routes or as a slave.
Optimized Bandwidth Management (ForeSight) Congestion Control This section describes Optimized Bandwidth Management (ForeSight). The BPX/IGX switch networks provide a choice of two dynamic rate-based congestion control methods, ABR with VS/VD and Cisco Optimized Bandwidth Management (ForeSight). Optimized Bandwidth Management (ForeSight) can be used for congestion control across BPX/IGX switches for connections that have one or both endpoints terminating on cards other than BXM.
IGX switch. Each BPX switch can be configured to use optional low-speed modems for inward access by the Cisco Technical Response Team for network troubleshooting assistance or to autodial Cisco Customer Service to report alarms remotely.
Backup—Allows you to obtain all network configuration files from the network and store them on • the Cisco WAN Manager workstation for backup purposes. In the event of a system update or a node failure, you can download the configuration files to one or all nodes for immediate system restoration.
When an alarm threshold is exceeded, the NMS screen displays an alarm message. Graphical displays of collected statistics information, a feature of the Cisco WAN Manager NMS, are a useful tool for monitoring network usage. The following are the four general categories used for collecting statistics: •...
Internal • Switch Software Description The Cisco WAN switching cell relay system software shares most core system software, as well as a library of applications, between platforms. System software provides basic management and control capabilities to each node. BPX node system software manages its own configuration, fault-isolation, failure recovery, and other resources.
The system software, configuration database, and the firmware that controls the operation of each card type is resident in programmable memory and can be stored off-line in the Cisco WAN Manager NMS for immediate backup if necessary. This software and firmware is easily updated remotely from a central site or from Cisco Customer Service, which reduces the likelihood of early obsolescence.
While providing a more standard algorithm for route selection, network operators more have control over the usability of the network trunks. Cisco BPX 8600 Series Installation and Configuration 1-31 Release 9.3.30, Part Number 78-12907-01 Rev. E0, May 2005...

Switch Availability This section describes some of the features that contribute to network availability. Cisco WAN hardware and software components are designed to provide a switch availability in excess of 99.99 percent. Network availability is impacted by link failure, which has a higher probability of occurrence than equipment failure.
The Cisco WAN Manager NMS also provides a maintenance log capability with configurable filtering of the maintenance log output by node name, start time, end time, alarm type, and user-specified search string.

Slot #7 Configuring the BPX Switch LAN and IP Relay In setting up network management for a network, you must configure both the Cisco WAN Manager workstation and network nodes. Cisco WAN Manager communicates over a standard physical LAN network to a gateway node or nodes, but you must setup a separate in-band IP relay network for all nodes via a gateway node for SNMP and TFTP inband communication over the node trunks.
Defines the IP address for routing messages to and from the Statistics Manager in CiscoView. For more information on how to use these commands, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference or the Cisco WAN Switching SuperUser Command Reference. SuperUser commands may be used only by authorized personnel with great care.
Configuring Network Management Configuring the BPX Switch LAN and IP Relay Configuring the Cisco WAN Manager Workstation To configure the Cisco WAN Manager workstation, use the following procedure: Contact your System Administrator to obtain IP addresses. Step 1 For the workstation to use /etc/hosts, it must not be able to access the NIS directory even Note though it may be linked to other LANs besides its own local network.
The parameters contain address information about the Ethernet TCP/IP network that is used to connect the Cisco WAN Manager station to an IGX or BPX switch. The values used must conform to those of the network and should be supplied by the Ethernet network administrator.
Because the workstation and node are on different networks in this example, a gateway address of 192.187.207.1 (the address of the node serving as a gateway for Cisco WAN Manager, in this example), has been entered. You must obtain this gateway address from your System Administrator. If the workstation and node are both on the same network, no gateway address is needed.
This Command: cnflan Enter IP Address: Connect the Cisco WAN Manager workstation and the BPX switch to a LAN network. The LAN port on Step 3 the BPX switch provides a DB-15 connector that can be connected to a Y-cable which in turn is connected to an AUI.
Cisco WAN Manager workstation consults the /etc/hosts table. For more information, refer to the Cisco WAN Manager User’s Guide. Once the workstation and BPX switch interface have been set up, you can start Cisco WAN Manager. Step 6...

Configuring ATM Connections ATM Connection Requirements You can add ATM connections by using either the Cisco WAN Manager Connection Manager or a node’s command line interface (CLI). Typically, the Cisco WAN Manager Connection Manager is the preferred method because it has an easy to use GUI interface. The CLI may be the method of choice in some special cases or during initial node setup for local nodes.

VPC have the correct VPI/VCI. As cells are received from the cloud by the BPX or IGX in the Cisco networks at the other end of the cloud, these VPI/VCIs are mapped back to the appropriate VPI/VCI addresses by the Cisco nodes for forwarding to the next destination.
Generic Flow Control Interface (GFCI) field and those four bits are added to the VPI bits to give a 12-bit VPI. The ATM-STI header is used with BNI trunks between BPX nodes within a Cisco switch subnetwork. The ATM-UNI is the standard ATM Forum UNI supported by the BXM card along with standard NNI.
The BPX nodes at the edge of the cloud send in cells that match the VPCs VPI value. As a result, the cells are switched from one end to the other of the ATM public cloud. Cisco BPX 8600 Series Installation and Configuration 24-9...
This requirement is automatically checked during the addition of the trunk. Virtual Trunk Traffic Classes All types of traffic from a private network using Cisco nodes are supported through a public ATM cloud. The CBR, VBR, and ABR configured virtual trunks within the cloud should be configured to carry the following correct types of traffic.
You use the cnftrkparm command to configure the queues within Automatic Routing Management virtual trunks. You use the cnfvsiif and cnfqbin commands to configure the queues within VSI virtual trunk VIs. Cisco BPX 8600 Series Installation and Configuration 24-11 Release 9.3.30, Part Number 78-12907-01 Rev. E0, May 2005...
The Shift/No shift parameter specifies whether or not the VCI bits in the cell header should be shifted based on the HCF field of the cell header on cells arriving from the backplane. It is how Cisco networks convert STI cells to standards based cell formats, and similarly how standards-based cell formats are converted back to STI cells.
The CBR/VBR parameter must also correspond to the virtual trunk type of the virtual trunk. For T3, set PCR to 96000 and CDTV to 24000 for the connection so that the does not drop cells. Cisco recommends these values based on testing.
