MGX-8850-Based PNNI Node
| The PXM-45-based MGX-8850 is the first multiservice switch that houses the controller in the switch's controller card. This section investigates its configuration. PNNI Node Bringup: PXM-45-Based MGX-8850Because the PNNI controller software is bundled in the PXM-45 controller card image, you do not need to configure external interfaces to add the PNNI controller. The controller-switch communication uses internal software interfaces. To add the controller, you only need to use the command addcontroller. See Example 10-10. Example 10-10.

Configuring PNNI InterfacesYou now put together the MGX-8850 end of the PNNI link configuration to connect your two PNNI nodes. As with the BPX-SES PNNI node, the line, port, and resource partition need to be configured in the controlled switchin this case, AXSM cards. However, there is an extra first step shown in Example 10-13configuring the card SCT in AXSM cards. This step needs to be performed with all the ports administratively down, so it is recommended that you do it before any configuration. Example 10-13. Changing the AXSM Card SCT m8850-7a.1.AXSM.a > cnfcdsct 3 m8850-7a.1.AXSM.a > NOTE The card SCT is configured in the AXSM slaves but does not exist in BXM slaves. In AXSM slaves, the card SCT contains the templates controlling ATM parameters that apply to traffic between the card you are configuring and other AXSM cards in the switch (going into and out of the midplane). SCT 0 comes bundled with the software image. However, card SCT 3 is highly recommended for the majority of applications because you do not want to perform policing going to the cross-point switch. You start by upping line 1.2 toward the BPX-SES, adding an NNI port and a resource partition. Refer to Example 10-14. The controller-id needs to be 2, as you configured in the addcontroller command.

The command dsppnportidmaps shows the mapping between the two. In AXSM cards, the physical descriptor is formed as follows: card:bay.line:port, where bay.line refers to the physical line upped with the command upln, and port is the logical port created with the command addport. You need to enable ILMI in the VSI slave (the AXSM card) using the command upilmi. Refer to Example 10-16. Example 10-16.

In BXM slaves on a BPX-SES PNNI node, the ports are either UNI or NNI, as configured with the command cnfport. You specify the VSI VPI usage when you configure the resource partition. You can set up a single VPI, a VPI range, or a full VPI range. It is recommended that you configure single VPI ports as virtual trunks using the commands uptrk and cnfrsrc. |
