ATM IMA Config

jparks
Level 1
Level 1

Good Evening,

I have a 3825 router with a NM-8T1-IMA NM module configured as follows:

interface ATM1/0
no ip address
ip pim sparse-mode
no scrambling-payload
ima-group 0
no atm ilmi-keepalive
clock source line

interface ATM1/1
no ip address
ip pim sparse-mode
no scrambling-payload
ima-group 0
no atm ilmi-keepalive
clock source line

interface ATM1/2
no ip address
ip pim sparse-mode
no scrambling-payload
ima-group 0
no atm ilmi-keepalive
clock source line

interface ATM1/3
no ip address
ip pim sparse-mode
no scrambling-payload
ima-group 0
no atm ilmi-keepalive
clock source line

interface ATM1/4
no ip address
ip pim sparse-mode
no scrambling-payload
ima-group 0
no atm ilmi-keepalive
clock source line

interface ATM1/5
no ip address
ip pim sparse-mode
no scrambling-payload
ima-group 0
no atm ilmi-keepalive
clock source line

interface ATM1/IMA0
no ip address
ip pim sparse-mode

ima clock common 0
no atm ilmi-keepalive

interface ATM1/IMA0.32 point-to-point
description PVC to Grand River Hospital
ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.252
ip pim sparse-mode
ip igmp version 3
pvc 1/32
  vbr-nrt 4000 4000
  encapsulation aal5snap

The ATM interfaces will show a status of Receive "FailedNoReason" after applying a shut, no shut.  It appears that the interfaces flap when attempting to join the IMA group.  I am sure I am missing something simple since I'm tired and have a migraine at the moment.

To begin with, do the T1s show up and error free ? Has that ever worked before ?

Good Morning,

The 3825 is replacing a 2821 with the ATM bundle and 3 vwics.  I am currently working on upgrading from 3 T1s to 5 T1s at this site, and that is why we went with the 3825 and the NM-8T1-IMA.  The T1s on the carrier side are up with no error, and are working flawlessly on the 2821 at the moment (I had to cut back over to it for business today).

On the 3825/NM-8T1-IMA if I remove one of the ATM interfaces from the IMA group it will come up, but if it assigned to the IMA group it will initially come up, and then go down after about 10 seconds.  I had ATM and IMA error debuging on and I did not see any errors.

I'm not on my work laptop so I will have to see if I saved the captures from the sh ima interface etc.  I believe the Rx was going into a unusable failed state.

My first thought was that I have the clock source setup wrong on the IMA group?

Problem is the NM AIM is an older module, not "ISR generation" and may have not been tested properly on the 3825. Good luck having it working.

If you want better bandwitdh utilization and no problems, drop the ATM completely and use clear channel T1.

Took another stab at trying to get this to work last night and was not able to get the ATM interfaces to come up/up.  If I removed the ATM interface from the IMA group it did go up/up, so it appears to be that the framing, etc on the T1 is correct.  It appears to be failing in the startup of the IMA group and bouncing the T1s.  Here is what I was seeing on the router last night:

If anyone has any ideas on what I'm missing that would be great.

Just a quick update on this.  Worked on the issue some more tonight.  I am able to get this to work back to back between a Cisco 3640 and the Cisco 3825.  I was able to replicate the same issue with a Cisco 3640 onsite as well.  After speaking with Qwest who provides our circuits it seems almost like an IMA version mismatch.  I am still showing a los of delay on the NE, although one of the ATM links did come up for a few seconds after they changed the IMA version to 1.0.  Version was changed back to IMA 1.1 and I'm back with the same 5 links all in fault with a LODfailure.  I plan on talking to Qwest again tomorrow, but if anyone can think of a config change I can do on our end that would be great.  I don't see any mention of the IMA version so I assume it is on 1.0, where as the 2821 would be at 1.1.
