Chapter 3 Provisioning PXM1E Communication Links
General PXM1E Configuration Procedures
Verifying End-to-End PNNI Communications
When connections between two nodes travel over multiple trunks, use the following steps to verify that
the PNNI communications path is operational.
Step 1 Establish a CLI session using a user name at any access level. When both ends of the communications
path are connected to Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) switches, you can start the CLI session at
either end.
Step 2 To display information on all accessible nodes, enter the dsppnni-node-list command as shown in the
following example:
mgx8830a.1.PXM.a > dsppnni-node-list
node # node id node name level
------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------- -------
1 56:160:47.009181000000000164444494.000164444494.01 ferrari 56
node # node id node name level
------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------- -------
2 56:160:47.00918100000000036b5e2b1f.00036b5e2b1f.01 porche 56
If a switch appears in this list, you have verified communications with it.
Step 3 To display additional information on the local switch, use the dsppnni-node command. For example.
mgx8830a.1.PXM.a > dsppnni-node
node index: 1 node name: mgx8830a
Level............... 56 Lowest.............. true
Restricted transit.. off Complex node........ off
Branching restricted on
Admin status........ up Operational status.. up
Non-transit for PGL election.. off
Node id...............56:160:47.009181000000000164444494.000164444494.01
ATM address...........47.009181000000000164444494.000164444494.01
Peer group id.........56:47.00.9181.0000.0000.0000.0000.00
Step 4 To display additional information on remote switches, enter the dsppnni-reachable-addr command as
follows:
mgx8830a.1.PXM.a > dsppnni-reachable-addr network
scope............... 0 Advertising node number 2
Exterior............ false
ATM addr prefix.....47.0091.8100.0000.0003.6b5e.2b1f/104
Transit network id..
Advertising nodeid..56:160:47.00918100000000036b5e2b1f.00036b5e2b1f.01
Node name...........porche
The remote node ATM address appears in the Advertising nodeid row. The information before the first
colon (56) is the PNNI level, the information between the first and second colons (160) is the ATM
address length, and the remainder of the node ID is the ATM address for the remote node.
Tip If you cannot verify communications with a remote node, try verifying communications across each of
the links between the nodes as described in the previous section, “Verifying PNNI Trunk
Communications.”
