Commands for Setting Up the RPM ATM Switch Interface
This section describes the commands you use to set up the RPM ATM switch interface. The switch interface is the ATM interface between the RPM and the cell bus (PXM1).
show interface—Displays the status of a specific interface or all interfaces on the RPM.
interface—Creates or accesses the configuration of an interface or subinterface.
shutdown—Disables an interface. The no shutdown command activates an interface.
Show Interface Command
The show interface command output lists detailed interface configuration and status information. You can specify a particular interface. Otherwise, all interfaces are listed.
Here is the show interface command syntax:
show interface [switch <slot-number>/<interface-number>.[subinterface-number]]
The keyword and parameter options are as follows:
switch—This optional keyword shows the switch interface. If you do not specify a keyword, all interfaces are listed.
slot-number—If you specify the switch keyword, you must specify the RPM card slot number.
interface-number—If you specify the switch keyword, you must specify the interface number. For the RPM switch interface, the only valid value is 1.
subinterface-number—You can also specify a subinterface number.
For example, type show interface 9/1 to list information on the ATM switch interface of the RPM in slot 9. Type show interface to list information on all interfaces on the RPM.
Example 22-19 shows the show interface switch output.

Useful information in the show interface switch output includes the following:
Interface status—Up or down
Line protocol status—Up or down
Maximum Transmission Size (MTU)—The largest packet size, in bytes, permitted on the interface
Bandwidth (BW)—The interface bandwidth, in kbps
Encapsulation—Always ATM
Maximum number of virtual circuits (VCs) allowed
Current number of VCs—The current number of VCs being used
Queue status—The current queue status
Ingress and egress traffic counters
You can clear the traffic counters using the clear counters switch command.
Interface Command
The interface global configuration command accesses interface-specific configuration mode. You also use the interface command to create a new subinterface. When you use the interface command, the CLI prompt changes from hostname(config)# to hostname(config-if)#.
Here is the interface command syntax:
interface [switch <slot-number>/<interface-number>.[subinterface-number]]
The keyword and parameter options are as follows:
switch—This optional keyword shows the switch interface.
slot-number—If you specify the switch keyword, you must specify the RPM card slot number.
interface-number—If you specify the switch keyword, you must specify the interface number. For the RPM switch interface, the only valid value is 1.
subinterface-number—You can also specify a subinterface number.
For example, type interface switch 9/1 while in global configuration mode to configure the ATM switch interface on the RPM in card slot 9.
Shutdown Command
The shutdown interface-specific configuration command is used to deactivate an interface. Use the no shutdown command to activate an interface. By default, the ATM switch interface is inactive. You must activate it using the no shutdown command before the RPM can send and receive cells to and from the cell bus.
