ATM IMA Configuration Problem

dylan.ebner
Level 1
Level 1

I have a 2600 with at NM-4T1-IMA. I am trying to bond 2 t1's from Qwest for our DSL hosting. I have the 2600 configured like Qwest's sample config for my router but we cannot get the ATM interfaces to come up. If qwest loops my t1s they come up. What is strange is the moment we remove ima-group command from the ATM interface the t1s come up.

We are running 12.3 (26) and we have atm ATM-IMA card installed as well. Qwest is configured for ima 1.0. I have tried different clock modes on the ima interface and on the ATM interfaces. Qwest is saying they are configured for EFS/B8ZS.

Here are the relevent parts of the router:

interface ATM1/0

no ip address

no atm ilmi-keepalive

ima-group 0

no scrambling-payload

!

interface ATM1/1

no ip address

no atm ilmi-keepalive

ima-group 0

no scrambling-payload

!

interface ATM1/IMA0

no ip address

no atm ilmi-keepalive

!

interface ATM1/IMA0.132 point-to-point

bandwidth 3072

ip address 10.10.10.41 255.255.255.252

ip nbar protocol-discovery

no ip mroute-cache

atm route-bridged ip

no snmp trap link-status

pvc 1/32

ubr 3072

encapsulation aal5snap

Giuseppe-

Thanks for the links. I have already been pouring over those links for 2 days now and I cannot seem to find anything in them that helps.

Thanks

Hello Dylan,

sorry for that, but providing links is the first line of help.

I think something is going wrong with IMA negotiation messages, the fact that each link in stand-alone mode goes up means that encoding and clock are fine.

You may be facing a bug that affects ATM IMA in your device.

I would give a try to another IOS image.

If I remember correctly in another thread the solution was an IOS change.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Giuseppe-

I was thinking that as well. But that that turned out not to be the problem. We had Qwest send a tech to check the NIU. They said the NIU was fine, but ever since the tech touched the circuit it has been running clean. I wonder if the NIU wasn't seated right or something.

Thanks for your help though,

Dylan

Hello Dylan,

thanks for reporting the solution of your issue.

this can help somebody else.

So the issue was on the service provider side.

I suppose the NIU is a device provided by provider to your premises.

Best Regards

Giuseppe
