Configuring ATM Overview Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a technology based on packet transmission mode while incorporating the high-speed of circuit transmission mode. ATM was adopted as the transmission and switching mode for broadband ISDN by the ITU-T in June 1992. Due to its flexibility and support for multimedia services, ATM is regarded as core broadband technology. As defined by the ITU-T, data is encapsulated in cells in ATM.
Figure 2 ATM switching ATM interfaces support only manually created permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), not switched virtual circuits (SVCs) created by exchanging signals and permanent virtual paths (PVPs). ATM architecture ATM has a three-dimensional architecture. It consists of three planes: user plane, control plane, and management plane.
them. Meanwhile, continuous bit streams received from physical media are restored to cells, which are then passed to the ATM layer. • ATM layer—Resides over the physical layer, and implements cell-based communication with its peer layer by invoking the services provided by the physical layer. It is independent of physical media, implementation of the physical layer, and types of services being carried.
PPPoEoA PPPoE over ATM (PPPoEoA) enables ATM to carry PPPoE protocol packets. With PPPoEoA, Ethernet packets are encapsulated in ATM cells, through which you can use a PVC to implement the functionality of Ethernet. To carry Ethernet frames over ATM, the virtual Ethernet (VE) interface was introduced. The VE interface has Ethernet characteristics and can be dynamically created.
InARP On an ATM PVC connection, you can use the Inverse Address Resolution Protocol (InARP) to obtain the IP address of the remote end connected to the PVC. In this way, you do not need to manually configure the IP address of the remote end. Figure 4 shows how InARP works. Figure 4 Inverse address resolution procedure of InARP ATM OAM OAM in the ITU-T I.610 recommendation (02/99) and Operation Administration and Maintenance in LUCENT APC User Manual (03/99).
OAM CC works on a PVC, where one side of the PVC sends OAM cells to its peer. The peer checks the connection status based on these OAM cells.

The following configurations enable the PVC to carry PPPoE and configure a PPPoE mapping for the PVC. Ethernet interfaces will discard PVC-carried Ethernet frames smaller than 60 bytes. Therefore, you should pad these frames to 60 bytes on ATM interfaces.

• If two routers are connected back-to-back, make sure that at least one of interfaces uses internal transmission clock (master). Or, if the routers are connected to the ATM network, the transmission clock should be set to line clock. • Check the ATM interfaces of the two sides to make sure that they are of the same type, for example, both are multimode fiber interfaces or both are single-mode fiber ports, or both are multi-mode fiber interfaces but connected using single mode.
If the remote node supports the same application configured on the local node, make sure that the two sides use the same type of AAL5 encapsulation protocol. For example, if one side uses SNAP whereas the other uses MUX, they cannot communicate. You can enable the packet debugging function of ATM to get some clues.
Configuring PPP and MP Overview PPP Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a link layer protocol carrying network layer packets over point-to-point links. It gains popularity because it provides user authentication, supports synchronous/asynchronous communication, and allows for easy extension. PPP contains a set of protocols, including: • Link control protocol (LCP)—Establishes, tears down, and monitors data links. • Network control protocol (NCP)—Negotiates the packet format and type for data links.
4. If a network layer protocol is configured, the PPP link enters the Network-Layer Protocol phase for NCP negotiation, such as IPCP negotiation or IPv6CP negotiation. If the NCP negotiation succeeds, the link goes up and becomes ready to carry negotiated network-layer protocol packets. If the NCP negotiation fails, NCP reports a down event and enters the Link Termination phase. 5. If the interface is configured with an IP address, the IPCP negotiation is performed.
{ MS-CHAP-V2 supports password changing. If the supplicant fails authentication because of an expired password, it will send the new password entered by the user to the authenticator for reauthentication. MP Multilink PPP (MP) enables you to bind multiple PPP links into one MP bundle for increasing bandwidth. After receiving a packet that is larger than the minimum packet size for fragmentation, MP fragments the packet and distributes the fragments across multiple PPP links to the peer end.
Step Command Remarks 1. Enter system view. system-view N/A 2. Enter interface view. interface interface-type interface-number N/A Optional. Enable PPP encapsulation on the interface. 3. link-protocol ppp By default, all interfaces except Ethernet interfaces and VLAN interfaces use PPP as the link layer protocol. Configuring PPP authentication You can configure several authentication modes simultaneously.
Step Configure the PAP username and password sent from the local device to the supplicant when the local device is authenticated by the supplicant by using PAP. 3. Command Remarks ppp pap local-user username password { cipher | simple } password By default, when being authenticated by the supplicant using PAP, the local device sends null username and password to the supplicant.
Step Command Remarks For local AAA authentication, the username and password of the authenticator must be configured on the supplicant. For remote AAA authentication, the username and password of the authenticator must be configured on the remote AAA server. Configure local or remote AAA authentication. 4. The username configured for the authenticator must be the same as that configured on the authenticator. The passwords configured for the authenticator and supplicant must be the same.
Configuring MS-CHAP or MS-CHAP-V2 authentication When you configure MS-CHAP or MS-CHAP-V2 authentication, follow these guidelines: • In MS-CHAP or MS-CHAP-V2 authentication, an HP device can only be an authenticator • L2TP supports the MS-CHAP authentication but does not support the MS-CHAP-V2 authentication. • MS-CHAP-V2 authentication supports password changing only when using RADIUS.
Step Command Remarks For local AAA, the username and password of the supplicant must be configured on the authenticator. Configure local or remote AAA authentication. 4. For remote AAA authentication, the username and password of the supplicant must be configured on the remote AAA server. The username and password configured for the supplicant must be the same as those configured on the supplicant. For more information about AAA authentication, see Security Configuration Guide.
Step Command Remarks N/A 2. Enter interface view. interface interface-type interface-number 3. Configure the negotiation timeout time. ppp timer negotiate seconds Optional. 3 seconds by default.
To configure the local end as the server (for cases where PPP authentication is enabled): Step Command Remarks 1. Enter system view. system-view N/A 2. Enter ISP domain view. domain domain-name N/A 3. Define the domain address pool. ip pool pool-number low-ip-address [ high-ip-address ] You must define an address pool in a specified domain at the time of PPP authentication. 4. Return to system view. quit N/A 5. Enter interface view.
Step Command Enable the local end to accept the DNS server address assigned by the peer. 4. Remarks Optional. ppp ipcp dns admit-any By default, a device does not accept the DNS server address assigned by the peer. NOTE: The server will specify a DNS server address for a client in PPP negotiation only after the client is configured with the ppp ipcp dns request command.
This feature is available only on CPOS interfaces in E1 mode. This feature is available on MP links only in software MP mode. If you enable LQC on both sides of a PPP or MP link, make sure both sides have the same LQC settings. Typically, there is no need to enable LQC on both sides of a PPP or MP link. To avoid link flapping, the close percentage and the resume percentage must have a big difference. To enable PPP LQC: Step Command Remarks 1. Enter system view. system-view N/A 2.
Step Command Remarks 2. Enter VT interface view. interface virtual-template interface-number N/A 3. Enable extensible PPP accounting. ppp account-statics extend remote-address By default, extensible PPP accounting is disabled. Configuring PPP user binding This function binds users in different domains with VT interfaces without knowing the domains of the users. This feature is implemented in the following steps: • Without knowing user domains, you must first authenticate users.
Step Command Remarks N/A 2. Enter interface view. interface interface-type interface-number 3. Disable peer route creation. undo peer neighbor-route Optional. By default, peer route creation is enabled. Configuring MP The router only supports MP bundling across subcards on the same base card. However, an MP-group interface assigned a subcard number does not support cross-subcard MP bundling. You can configure MP by using VT or MP-group interfaces. 1.
Task Remarks Configuring MP through an MP-group interface Configuring short sequence number header format negotiation Optional. Configuring the MP endpoint descriptor Optional. Configuring MP by using a VT interface When you configure MP by using a VT interface, you can do one of the following: • Binding physical interfaces to the VT interface by using the ppp mp virtual-template command. In this case, the configuration of authentication is optional.
Step 7. Return to system view. Command Remarks quit N/A • (Method 1) Bind a physical interface to the VT interface: a. interface interface-type interface-number b. Specify the number of the VT interface to which the interface is to be bound, and specify that the interface operate in MP mode: ppp mp virtual-template number c. 8. Associate a physical interface or a username to the VT interface. (Optional.) Configure PPP authentication (see "Configuring PPP authentication").
• When MP binding is based on descriptor only, users cannot be differentiated. To bind users to different MP bundles, set the binding mode to both. • When MP binding is based on authentication username only, peer devices cannot be differentiated. If an MP bundle involves multiple devices, set the binding mode to both. • For a VT interface, if a static route is used, specify the next hop rather than the outgoing interface.
• The ppp mp max-bind command and the ppp mp min-fragment command you configured can take effect on an MP bundle only after you re-enable all the physical interfaces in the MP bundle by executing the shutdown command and then the undo shutdown command. • After you configure the undo ppp mp fragment enable command on an interface, the settings configured with the ppp mp lfi and ppp mp min-fragment commands become invalid on the interface.
If the local end wants to transmit fragments with short sequence numbers, it should ask the peer to send a request for receiving short sequence numbers during LCP negotiation. After the negotiation succeeds, the local end transmits fragments with short sequence numbers. • The sequence number format (long or short) of an MP bundle depends on the configuration of the first channel joining the MP bundle.
Configuring IP header compression IP header compression (IPHC) is a host-to-host protocol used to carry real-time multimedia services such as voice and video over IP networks. To decrease the bandwidth consumed by packet headers, you can enable IPHC on PPP links to compress RTP (including IP, UDP, and RTP) headers or TCP headers. The following uses RTP header compression to describe how compression operates. RTP is a UDP protocol using fixed port number and format.
LFI reduces delays and jitters on low-speed links by fragmenting large packets into small fragments and transmitting them along with small packets. The fragmented datagrams are reassembled at the destination. Figure 11 illustrates the process of LFI. When large packets and small voice packets arrive at an interface that is enabled with WFQ at the same time, the large packets are fragmented into small fragments, which are then added to the queues along with the voice packets.

In this method, all the users are bound together to the MP-group interface and the concept of virtual access is not involved. Troubleshooting PPP configuration Symptom 1 PPP authentication always fails, preventing the link from going up. Solution This problem might occur if the parameters for authentication are incorrect. • Enable the debugging of PPP, and you can see the information describing that LCP went up upon a successful LCP negotiation but went down after PAP or CHAP negotiation.
• If IPv6CP negotiation fails, re-enable the interface by executing the shutdown command and then the undo shutdown command to re-enable IPv6CP negotiation.
Configuring PPPoE Overview Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) extends PPP by transporting PPP packets encapsulated in Ethernet over point-to-point links. PPPoE can provide access to the Internet for the hosts in an Ethernet through a remote access device and implement access control and accounting on a per-host basis. Integrating the low cost of Ethernet and scalability and management functions of PPP, PPPoE gained popularity in various application environments, such as residential networks.
Figure 19 Network structure 2 PPPoE client Host A PPPoE server Internet PPPoE client Router Host B Protocols and standards RFC 2516, A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE) Configuring a PPPoE server You can configure PPPoE servers on Ethernet ports or virtual Ethernet interfaces created on ADSL interfaces. For more information about configuring PPPoE servers on virtual Ethernet interfaces, see "Configuring ATM." Cross-card Layer 3 aggregate interfaces do not support this feature.
Step 8. 9. Command Remarks Set the maximum number of PPPoE sessions allowed for a local MAC address. pppoe-server max-sessions local-mac number Optional. Set the maximum number of PPPoE sessions allowed on a card. pppoe-server max-sessions slot slot-number total number 4096 by default. Optional. Optional. 10. Set the upper threshold for the PPPoE abnormal offline event count. pppoe-server abnormal-offline-count threshold number 65535 by default.
PPPoE server configuration example Network requirements As shown in Figure 20, Host A and Host B act as PPPoE clients and run PPPoE client dialup software. The Router acts as the PPPoE server, performing local authentication and assigning IP addresses to the users. The Router provides Internet access for Host A and Host B through Ethernet 1/1. It connects to the Internet through Serial 2/0/1. Figure 20 Network diagram Configuration procedure 1. Configure CHAP authentication: # Add a PPPoE user.

Configuring L2TP Overview A VPDN is a VPN utilizing the dial-up function of public networks such as ISDN or PSTN networks to provide access services for enterprises, small ISPs, and telecommuters. VPDN provides an economical and effective point-to-point method for remote users to connect to their home LANs. VPDN technology uses a tunneling protocol to build secure VPNs for enterprises across public networks.
• LNS—An L2TP network server (LNS) functions as both the L2TP server and the PPP end system. It is usually an edge device on an enterprise network. An LNS is the other endpoint of an L2TP tunnel and is a peer to the LAC. It is the logical termination point of a PPP session tunneled by the LAC. The L2TP extends the termination point of a PPP session from a NAS to an LNS, logically.
• Session—A session corresponds to one PPP data stream between an LNS and a LAC and is multiplexed on a tunnel. A session can be set up only after the tunnel is created. Multiple L2TP tunnels can be established between an LNS and an LAC. Both control messages and PPP frames are transferred on the tunnel. L2TP uses hello packets to check a tunnel's connectivity. The LAC and the LNS regularly send hello packets to each other.
Figure 25 Client-initiated tunneling mode L2TP tunnel establishment process Figure 26 Typical L2TP network Figure 27 shows an L2TP call's setup procedure in NAS-initiated mode.

15. The LNS assigns an internal IP address to the remote user. The user can now access the internal resources of the enterprise network. L2TP features • Flexible identity authentication mechanism and high security—L2TP by itself does not provide security for connections. However, it has all the security features of PPP and allows for PPP authentication (CHAP or PAP). L2TP can also cooperate with IPsec to guarantee data security, strengthening the resistance of tunneled data to attacks.
L2TP-based EAD is usually used for remote users. For LAN users, deploy portal authentication. • For information about packet-filter firewalls, AAA, RADIUS, and portal authentication, see Security Configuration Guide. Protocols and standards • RFC 1661, The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) • RFC 1918, Address Allocation for Private Internets • RFC 2661, Layer Two Tunneling Protocol "L2TP" L2TP configuration task list When configuring L2TP, perform the following operations: 1.
Task Remarks Specify the local name of the tunnel Configuring an LNS Creating a VT interface Required. Configuring the local address and the address pool for allocation Required. Configuring an LNS to grant certain L2TP tunneling requests Required. Configuring user authentication on an LNS Optional. Configuring AAA authentication for VPN users on an LNS Optional. Enabling L2TP for VPNs Optional. Configuring support of LNS for the IMSI or SN in PPP LCP negotiation Optional.
Step 4. Command Specify the local name of the tunnel. Remarks Optional. tunnel name name The system name of the device is used by default. Configuring an LAC An LAC is responsible for establishing tunnels with LNSs for users and sends user packets to LNSs through the tunnels. Before configuring an LAC, enable L2TP and create an L2TP group. Configuring an LAC to initiate tunneling requests for specified users An LAC initiates tunneling requests only to specified LNSs for specified users.
Configuring AAA authentication for VPN users on LAC side You can configure an LAC to perform AAA authentication for VPN users and initiate a tunneling request only for qualified users. No tunnel will be established for unqualified users. The device supports both local AAA authentication and remote AAA authentication: • For local AAA authentication, create a local user and configure a password for each remote user on the LAC.
Configuring an LNS An LNS responds to the tunneling requests from an LAC, authenticates users, and assigns IP addresses to users. Before configuring an LNS, enable L2TP and create an L2TP group. Creating a VT interface A VT interface is intended to provide parameters for virtual access interfaces to be dynamically created by the device, such as logical MP interfaces and logical L2TP interfaces. After an L2TP session is established, a virtual access interface is needed for a data exchange with the peer.
Step Command Specify the address pool for allocating an IP address to a PPP user, or assign an IP address to the user directly. 5. remote address { pool [ pool-number ] | ip-address } Remarks Optional. By default, address pool 0 (the default address pool) is used.
LCP renegotiation—The LNS ignores the LAC proxy authentication information and performs a new round of LCP negotiation with the user. • The three authentication methods have different priorities, where LCP renegotiation has the highest priority and proxy authentication has the lowest priority. Which method the LNS uses depends on your configuration: • If you configure both LCP renegotiation and mandatory CHAP authentication, the LNS uses LCP renegotiation.
Configuring AAA authentication for VPN users on an LNS Configure AAA on the LNS in the following cases: • Proxy authentication is configured on the LNS • Mandatory CHAP authentication is configured on the LNS • Mandatory LCP renegotiation authentication is configured on the LNS and the VT interface requires PPP user authentication. After you configure AAA on the LNS, the LNS can authenticate the identities (usernames and passwords) of VPN users for a second time.
Step Command Remarks 1. Enter system view. system-view N/A 2. Enter VT interface view. interface virtual-template virtual-template-number By default, no VT interface is created. 3. Initiate an IMSI or SN negotiation request. ppp lcp { imsi | sn } request By default, no IMSI or SN negotiation request is initiated. Optional. 4. 5. Configure a separator for splitting the peer username during negotiation.
To ensure tunnel security, enable tunnel authentication. To change the tunnel authentication key, do so after tearing down the tunnel. Otherwise, your change does not take effect. To configure L2TP tunnel authentication: Step Command Remarks 1. Enter system view. system-view N/A 2. Enter L2TP group view. l2tp-group group-number N/A 3. Enable L2TP tunnel authentication. tunnel authentication Configure the tunnel authentication key. tunnel password { simple | cipher } password 4. Optional.
Disconnecting tunnels by force Either the LAC or the LNS can initiate a tunnel disconnection request. You can also disconnect a tunnel when no users are online or a network failure occurs. Once a tunnel is disconnected, the control connection and all the sessions within the tunnel are removed. When a user dials in, a new tunnel is established. To disconnect tunnels by force: Task Command Remarks Disconnect tunnels by force. reset l2tp tunnel { id tunnel-id | name remote-name } Available in user view.

Troubleshooting L2TP The VPN connection setup process is complex. The following presents an analysis of some common faults that may occur in the process. Before troubleshooting the VPN, make sure that the LAC and LNS are connected properly across the public network. Symptom 1 Users cannot log in. Analysis and solution Possible reasons for login failure include: • Tunnel setup failure, which may occur in the following cases: { { { { • The address of the LNS is set incorrectly on the LAC.
Configuring HDLC High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) is a bit-oriented link layer protocol. Its most prominent feature is that it can transmit any type of bit stream transparently. • HDLC supports point-to-point link only and does not support point-to-multipoint link. • HDLC supports neither IP address negotiation nor authentication. It uses keepalive messages to check link status. • HDLC works only on synchronous interfaces or synchronous/asynchronous interfaces in synchronous mode.
Step Command Remarks PPP is encapsulated by default. Enable HDLC encapsulation on the interface. 3. link-protocol hdlc You can use the display interface command to display the configuration and the reset counters interface command to clear interface statistics and restart statistics collection. Configuring an IP address for an interface Make sure that an IP unnumbered HDLC interface has a route to the remote end.
Step Command Remarks 1. Enter system view. system-view N/A 2. Enter interface view. interface interface-type interface-number N/A 3.

Configuring HDLC link bundling Overview HDLC link bundling allows you to bundle multiple interfaces using HDLC encapsulation together to form one logical link. HDLC link bundling delivers the following benefits: • Load balancing—Incoming/outgoing traffic is distributed across multiple member interfaces of the HDLC link bundle. • Increased bandwidth—The bandwidth on the HDLC link bundle interface is the total bandwidth of all available member interfaces.
• Ready—The member interface is up at the link layer and meets the conditions for being a selected interface, but is not selected yet due to the limitation on the maximum number of selected member interfaces, the minimum number of selected member interfaces required for bringing up the HDLC link bundle, or the minimum amount of bandwidth required for bringing up the HDLC link bundle.
If an HDLC link bundle does not contain any selected member interfaces, the HDLC link bundle interface is brought down, and cannot forward traffic. It will not be brought up and forward traffic until selected member interfaces are detected in the HDLC link bundle. The bandwidth of an HDLC link bundle is the total bandwidth of all selected member interfaces. Load balancing modes An HDLC link bundle forwards traffic through its selected member interfaces.
Step Command Remarks Optional. By default: • If all member interfaces of the • In standalone mode: 5. Specify a card to forward traffic for the HDLC link bundle interface. service slot slot-number • In IRF mode: service chassis chassis-number slot slot-number HDLC link bundle interface are on the same card, the card processes or forwards traffic for the bundle interface.
Step Command Remarks Optional. The MTU size on the HDLC link bundle interface is 1500 bytes by default. 10. Specify the MTU size on the HDLC link bundle interface. mtu size The MTU size specified here affects the fragmentation and reassembly of IP packets. Use this command to set a proper MTU size according to your network conditions. Make sure the largest MTU supported by the member interface is no less than the MTU size configured for the HDLC link bundle interface.
The bundle member-priority command and the bundle max-active links command usually need to be used in conjunction, so that interconnected interfaces on two different devices can be both selected at the same time and exchange traffic successfully. • To assign an interface to an HDLC link bundle: Step Command Remarks 1. Enter system view. system-view N/A 2. Enter POS interface view or serial interface view. interface interface-type interface-number N/A 3.

Configuring frame relay Overview Frame relay is essentially simplified X.25 WAN technology. It uses statistical multiplexing technology and can establish multiple virtual circuits over a single physical cable to make full use of network bandwidth. Frame relay uses data link connection identifiers (DLCIs) to identify virtual circuits and maintain the status of each virtual circuit with the Local Management Interface (LMI) protocol.
Virtual circuit Virtual circuits are logical paths established between two devices. Depending on how they are set up, virtual circuits include the following types: • Permanent virtual circuits (PVCs)—Preconfigured by network administrators and maintain until being manually removed. • Switched virtual circuits (SVCs)—Analogous to dialup connections. They are dynamically set up or cleared on an as-needed basis through protocol negotiation. PVCs are used far more than SVCs.
LMI protocol Frame relay uses the LMI protocol to set up virtual circuits and maintain their status between DTE and DCE. The system supports the following LMI standards: • ITU-T Q.933 Annex A • ANSI T1.617 Annex D • Nonstandard LMI (compatible with other vendors) To communicate correctly, the DTE and the DCE must use the same type of LMI.
Device role Timer/counter Keepalive (polling verification) timer (T392) Value range 5 to 30 Default value Description 15 Sets the interval (in seconds) for receiving a status inquiry message. If no status inquiry message is received before the timer expires, an error is recorded. Typical application scenarios As shown in Figure 35, you can use frame relay to construct a public or private network, and even direct connections between data equipment, as shown in Figure 36.
Task Remarks Enabling the trap function Optional You can configure an NNI interface in the same way a DCE interface is configured. For the configuration procedure, see "Configuring DCE side frame relay." If one endpoint of a link is an NNI interface, the peer endpoint must also be an NNI interface.

Configuring multilink frame relay Overview Multilink frame relay (MFR) is a cost effective bandwidth solution. It is based on the FRF.16 protocol of the frame relay forum and implemented on DTE/DCE interfaces. MFR provides MFR interfaces, a type of logical interface. An MFR interface is formed by a bundle of frame relay physical links to provide high transmission speed and bandwidth beyond the capabilities of a single link.
Step Command Remarks Optional. 3. Set the MFR bundle identifier. mfr bundle-name [ name ] The default bundle identifier is MFR + frame relay bundle number, for example, MFR4/0/0. You cannot set a bundle identifier in the MFR number format. Optional. 4. Enable MFR fragmentation. 5. Configure the size of the MFR sliding window. mfr window-size number 6.

Managing a modem This chapter describes how to manage and control the modem connected to the device. Setting the modem answer mode To ensure correct modem operations, you must set the modem answer mode to be the same as the answer mode of the modem: • If the modem is in auto-answer mode (a modem is in auto-answer mode if its AA LED is on), use the modem auto-answer command to prevent the device from issuing answer instructions.
Solution • Use the shutdown command and undo shutdown command on the device physical interface connected to the modem to check whether the modem has been restored to normal status. • If the modem is still in abnormal status, repower the modem.
