Step 5

  1. Define the mode of operation on the WAN port.
Passport 4430/50/55

CLI> define wan port mode

Parameter

Range of Values

Required Actions

<IfIndex>

INTEGER (1..255)

Enter the IfIndex you entered in Step 1.

<Mode>

dce | dte

Enter dte.


Example:

CLI> define wan port mode 153 dte

Passport 4460

CLI> define wan port mode

Parameter

Range of Values

Required Actions

<IfIndex>

INTEGER (1..255)

Enter the IfIndex you entered in Step 1.

<Mode>

dce | dte | auto

Enter auto if you are using a Smart cable. If you are not using a Smart cable, enter dte.


Example:

CLI> define wan port mode 153 auto

  1. Set the master clock source. If you do not want to perform this step, continue on to Step 7.
  2. This feature is available on Passport 4460 units running software release 4.1.2 or higher. To determine if this feature is available on your Passport 4460 unit, use the CLI command show system hardware. A table similar to the following appears:

    RevisionLevel

    41

    ManufactureRevDate

    "2-9-00"

    SerialNumber

    PED0012478

    ModuleID

    2

    MACAddress

    00:e0:7b:0a:46:1a

    CPUType

    "Passport 4460/MPC860MH-MPC860T"

    GenCfgType

    passport 4460

    ClockSync

    supported


    If Master Clock is supported on your Passport 4460, Supported will be displayed in the ClockSync field.

    If your physical mode is set to dce and you want to use the Passport 4460 unit's master clock as the clock source, use the following CLI command:

    CLI> define wan port ClockSource

    Parameter

    Range of Values

    Required Actions

    <IfIndex>

    INTEGER (1..255)

    Enter the IfIndex you entered in Step 1.

    <ClockSource>

    external | backplane

    Enter backplane. External is the default.


    Example:

    CLI> define wan port ClockSource 1 backplane

  3. Define the type of protocol support.
  4. CLI> define wan port protocolSupport

    Parameter

    Range of Values

    Required Actions

    <IfIndex>

    INTEGER (1..255)

    Enter the same IfIndex you entered in Step 4.

    <ProtocolSupport>

    none | standardFr | switchingFr | htds | cbr | sdlc | x25 | async | ppHdlc | channel

    Passport 4460 you will see the additional parameters:

    hdlc | casBypass

    Enter switchingFr.


    Example:

    CLI> define wan port protocolSupport 156 switchingFr

  5. Add the frame relay tunnel to the ISDN module that you are configuring the backup service for.
  6. CLI> add fr tunnel

    Parameter

    Range of Values

    Required Actions

    <TunnelIfIndex>

    INTEGER (1..255)

    Enter the IfIndex of the tunnel you are adding. You should select an INTEGER between 207 - 255.

    <DlciNumber>

    INTEGER (16..991)

    Enter the DLCI number for the tunnel you are adding.

    <PhysicalCard>

    base| exp1 | exp2

    Enter the slot the ISDN module resides in.

    <PhysicalPort>

    INTEGER (1..8)

    Enter the port number of the ISDN module.

    <Type>

    dte-panl | dce-panl | standard

    Enter dte-panl.

    Passport 4460 only

    <PhysicalChannel>

    INTEGER (-1..30)

    This parameter should be set to -1 if you are not configuring DACS. For more information regarding DACS, refer to Digital Access and Cross-Connect System (DACS).


    Example:

    CLI> add fr tunnel 207 18 limA 3 dte-panl

Passport 4460

CLI> add fr tunnel 148 18 base 3 dte-panl -1

Note

Note: For Passport 4430, 4450, and 4455, the Logical Interface Module (LIM) name for the base module is always limA. The WAN and Expansion modules are numbered lim1 through lim4. For the Passport 4460, the LIM name for the base module is always base, Expansion modules are named exp1, exp2, and the PCMCIA module is named pcmciaExp.


Note

Note: Repeat the above command for the other side of the central office, except configure it for dce-panl (add fr tunnel 148 18 base 3 dce-panl).
