This command defines the ATM service class for an ATM sub-interface.

Syntax

interface atm <group-id>/<sub-id>
ubr <peak-kbps>
cbr <peak-kbps>
vbr <peak-kbps> <sustained-kbps> <burst-cells>

Command

Description

ubr

Defines Unspecified Bit Rate; no bandwidth is reserved for this interface. Traffic may be limited by a peak rate.

cbr

Defines Constant Bit Rate; bandwidth is reserved according to the specified rate. Traffic cannot exceed the specified rate.

vbr

Defines Variable Bit Rate; bandwidth is reserved according to the configured sustained rate. Traffic may exceed the sustained rate up to the peak rate, but is further limited by a maximum number of burst cells.

<peak-kbps>

Defines the Maximum data rate in kilobits per second

<sustained-kbps>

Defines the Sustained data rate in kilobits per second

<burst-cells>

Defines the maximum number of cells allowed in excess of the sustained rate

Default

The default setting is UBR with unlimited traffic rate.

Command Mode

Privileged User

Example

This example defines an ATM interface with a constant bit-rate traffic class, allowing bandwidth of 4 megabits per second:
