Configuring Resource Management
This chapter describes resource management, which involves modeling and managing switch, interface,
and connection resources. Such resources include equivalent bandwidth and buffering to support the
provision of specified traffic classes.
Note This chapter provides advanced configuration instructions for the Catalyst 8540 MSR,
Catalyst 8510 MSR, and LightStream 1010 ATM switch routers. For detailed descriptions of traffic
management mechanisms and their operation, refer to the Guide to ATM Technology. For complete
descriptions of the commands mentioned in this chapter, refer to the ATM Switch Router Command
Reference publication.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Resource Management Functions, page 9-2
• Switch Fabric Functionality (Catalyst 8540 MSR), page 9-2
• Processor Feature Card Functionality (Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010), page 9-3
• Configuring Global Resource Management, page 9-4
• Configuring Physical Interfaces, page 9-17
• Configuring Physical and Logical Interface Parameters, page 9-26
• Configuring Interface Overbooking, page 9-37
• Configuring Service Class Overbooking, page 9-39
• Configuring Framing Overhead, page 9-41
Note The traffic and resource management features of the ATM switch router are presented in a different order
in this guide and in the Guide to ATM Technology. In this guide the sequence of features follows
configuration scope and proceeds from global to per-interface features. In the Guide to ATM Technology
the sequence of features follows the phases of a connection and proceeds from traffic contract to
management of hardware resources.
