Chapter 24 Configuring BXM Virtual Circuits

Configuring the BPX Switch LAN and IP Relay

During the configuration of BPX switch interfaces, you must make sure that the BPX switch IP address,
SNMP parameters, and Network IP address are set consistent with your local area network (Ethernet
LAN). Use the following BPX switch commands to set these parameters:
•
•
•
•
The use of these commands is explained in the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference or the Cisco
WAN Switch Superuser Command Reference. Super User commands should be used only by authorized
personnel, and must be used carefully.

BXM SVC Resource Partitioning

This section provides procedures for:
•
•
Resources on BPX switch UNI ports and NNI trunks can be divided between:
•
•
This is known as resource partitioning and is done through the Command Line Interface for the BPX
switch and the MGX 8220.
These resources for BXM and BNI cards can be partitioned appropriately between SVCs or PVCs.
You can have both a PNNI controller and a Cisco 6400 controller, each in its own partition controlling
the same VSI slave.
The BXM supports Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). You can allocate partitions for the BXM
either between:

cnflan
This is a SuperUser command and must be used to configure the BPX switch BCC LAN port IP
address and subnet mask.
cnfsnmp
This command is used to configure the SNMP Get and Set community strings for the BPX switch
as follows:
– Get Community String = public
– Set Community String = private
– Trap Community String = public
cnfnwip
This is a SuperUser level command which is used to configure the virtual IP network (IP relay)
among BPX switches.
cnfstatmast
This command is used to define the IP address for routing messages to and from the Statistics
Manager in Cisco StrataView Plus.
