I have running 3640 with ATM IMA and everything is working ok. I must replace it with 7200, but when I try to move ATM IMA links to 7200, link is down with IMA status insufucient links.

Any ideas? Does anyone have sample config for ATM IMA on 7200

Thanks!

Frederic Vanderbecq · ‎06-11-2003

first of all, make sure that all physical parameters (Framing, linecode, scrambling, ...) are correct on the 7200 ATM interfaces. What is the status of the ATM interfaces on the 7200 ? What is that 7200 connected to ?

1. I do not know to what 7200 is conneted at provider side but following config is ok on my 3640, same physical lines

interface ATM2/6

no ip address

no ip mroute-cache

no atm ilmi-keepalive

2. When I do following config on 7200

interface ATM1/6

no ip address

interface ATM1/7

I get following status on ima group

Router#sh ima int atm1/ima1

ATM1/ima1 is down

ImaGroupState: NearEnd = startUp, FarEnd = insufficientLinks

ImaGroupFailureStatus = insufficientLinksFe

IMA Group Current Configuration:

ImaGroupMinNumTxLinks = 1 ImaGroupMinNumRxLinks = 1

ImaGroupDiffDelayMax = 190 ImaGroupNeTxClkMode = common(ctc)

ImaGroupTestLink = 6 ImaGroupTestPattern = 0xFF

IMA Link Information:

Link Link Status Test Status

------ ---------------------------- --------------

ATM1/6 down disabled

ATM1/7 down disabled

Note that I cannot write ubr 2048 on pvc and that interfaces atm1/6 and atm1/7 looks ok if they are not in ima group, but after putting them in ima group I get following status

Router#sh int atm1/6

ATM1/6 is down, line protocol is down

... and also i get following message durin router boot

%PA-2-UNDEFPA: Undefined Port Adaptor type 187 in bay 1

%PA-3-DEACTIVATED: port adapter in bay [1] powered off.

bay 1 is a bay with ATM card

Hi,

A couple of things, verify with provider, sequence # on the t1's, it matters.

Secondly i did not see the ima group defined, try this

What's your total bandwidth? is it 2 E1's

interface ATM1/6

no ip address

scrambling cell-payload

framing crc4adm

ima-group 0

!

interface ATM1/7

no ip address

scrambling cell-payload

framing crc4adm

ima-group 0

interface ATM1/IMA0

description *** IMA-GROUP 0 ATM 1/6 1/7-1 2-T1's ***

no ip address

It looks like you have an IMAM version mismatch. 7200 implements IMAM 1.1, but 3640 supports IMAM 1.0. So you need to call your provider and let them know you change to IMAM 1.0, they will probably need to restart the IMAM group in order to renegotiation take place between Router and switch (in some switches IMAM version should be change manually).

Unfortunately this is one part of the problem. In the old times when ATM Forum made the recommendation for IMAM development USA Vendors misinterpreted them. So there are 2 variants of IMAM 1.0 one apply by most of American Vendors and an other by Europeans. The differences are on how TX/RX Link IDs should be assign (you can read more about this at: Cisco Bug CSCdw74417). There are two possibilities to workaround this problem, some switches like Lucent SAX may be configure for any of the two variants. The other one is to connect port 1 of router with port 1 of switch, 2 with 2 and so on.

But in any case you need to call your provider and let them know, if you are unable to reach some one at your provider who understands about IMAM, just tell him to restart de IMAM group.

More info at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk39/tk356/technologies_tech_note09186a008009455b.shtml

Good Luck

You need to have an Enterprise IOS to support IMA modules.
