Configuring the 1-Port HSSI Network Module
Invoke ATM on a HSSI Line
If you have an ATM DSU, you can invoke ATM over a HSSI line by mapping an ATM virtual path
identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) to a DXI frame address. ATM-DXI encapsulation
defines a data exchange interface that allows a DTE (such as a router) and a DCE (such as an ATM DSU)
to cooperate to provide a User-Network Interface (UNI) for ATM networks.
To invoke ATM over a serial line, perform the following tasks in interface configuration mode:
Task
Specify the encapsulation method.
Map a given VPI and VCI to a DXI frame
address.
Convert HSSI to Clock Master
You can convert the HSSI interface into a 45-MHz clock master by performing the following task in
interface configuration mode:
Task
Convert the HSSI interface into a
51.84-MHz clock master.
Disable Fair Queueing
Disabling fair queuing will dramatically improve fast switching rates over the HSSI. To disable fair
queueing, perform the following task in interface configuration mode:
Task
Disable fair queueing.
For more information about configuring HSSI interfaces, refer to the "Configuring Serial Interfaces"
chapter in the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Configuration Examples
The following example shows how to configure a 1-port HSSI network module on a Cisco 3600 series
router. Both sides of the network connection need to be configured:
interface hssi 0/0
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
hssi internal-clock
no fair-queue
no shutdown
interface hssi 1/0
ip address 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
hssi internal-clock
no fair-queue
no shutdown
