ATM PVC discovery

Angelo,

1) You must discover the VPI/VCI pair that has been assigned to you (what is configured on the ATM switch) using the commands :-
atm ilmi-pvc-discovery
pvc 0/16 ilmi

You have done this already.
Next to see what the VPI/VCI pair is, execute the show atm pvc command.
If you have a pair like 5/53 for example in which 5 is the VPI and 53 is the VCI, then create your PVC accordingly

interface ATM1/0
 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
 atm ilmi-keepalive
 pvc CCIE 5/53
  protocol ip 1.1.1.2 broadcast
!
NOTE you can remove the pvc 0/16 ilmi and pvc-discovery statements.
If routing protocol traffic is passing through the PVC, then you need to make sure that the broadcast keyword is applied.
In my example we are saying to reach ip address 1.1.1.2 go through PVC CCIE which has a VPI of 5 and VCI of 53.

This example shows the new way of creating a PVC (post 11.3) rather than using map-lists which was the old way. If you are creating traffic classes etc for ATM then you need to do it using the new way rather than map lists. There are some good TAC docs that explain the differences.

Finally so you can see what the config would be like using map-lists :-

interface ATM1/0
 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
 atm pvc 1 5 53 aal5snap
 map-group CCIE
!
map-list CCIE
 ip 1.1.1.2 atm-vc 1 broadcast

Notice that when using map-lists we specify the command atm pvc NOT pvc. Also the number 1 refers to the VCD which you also have to define. This VCD value matches with our map-list statement (atm-vc-1)

Hope this helps.
Thanks
Andy

Hi,
  I'm trying to this.

ATM Configuration:
Configure R7 using the following information so you
can connect to the router in the ATM cloud.
- You must discover your VPI/VCI pair, and then
manually configure them in your configuration.
- Configure the ATM interface IP address to have its
last octet equal to the pod #.
- You may not use map-lists in your ATM configuration.

I can't make this work. I really don't have an idea
how to make this work. Any idea on what is the other
side of this ATM connection?

My config:

interface ATM1/0
no ip add
atm ilmi-keepalive
atm ilmi-pvc-discovery
pvc 0 0/16 ilmi
!
R7#sh atm ilmi-status
Interface : ATM1/0 Interface Type : Private UNI
(User-side)
ILMI VCC : (0, 16) ILMI Keepalive : Disabled
ILMI State: UpAndNormal
Peer IP Addr: 0.0.0.0 Peer IF Name:
ATM0/0/0
Peer MaxVPIbits: 8 Peer MaxVCIbits: 14
Active Prefix(s) :
47.0091.8100.0000.0031.8019.2d01
R7#

Thanks,
Angelo
