Subtended Network Configuration Overview
General Maintenance Guidelines
This section covers the following topics:
•Hot-Swapping Line Cards, page 9
•Installation and Replacement Suggestions, page 9
Hot-Swapping Line Cards
The line cards support hot swapping. Hot swapping allows you to remove and replace the line cards
without disconnecting the system power. When the system detects that a you have added or removed a
line card, it automatically runs diagnostic and discovery routines, and acknowledges the presence or
absence of the card.
Installation and Replacement Suggestions
The following examples list recommended card installation and replacement practices for the
Cisco 6130 system cards.
Caution Any line card that is only partially connected to the backplane can disrupt
system operation.
•Do not force the card into or onto the chassis backplane connectors. This action can damage the
pins on the connectors if they are not aligned properly with the card.
•Do not force the line card into its slot. This action can damage the pins on the backplane if they are
not aligned properly with the line card.
•Ensure that the system I/O card is straight and parallel to the chassis backplane when you install
the card onto the connectors. The pins on the connectors can be damaged if the card is not
installed correctly.
•Ensure that the card is straight and not at an angle when you install the card in the slot. Installing
the card at an angle can damage the card. Use the guide rails to install the card correctly.
•Fully depress the ejector tabs to ensure that the card connector mates with the backplane correctly.
Firmly seat the card in the slot.
Subtended Network Configuration Overview
A subtended network configuration
•Services and aggregates the data from one or more remotely located Cisco 6130 chassis into a
subtending host chassis to take advantage of the data network interface on the subtending
host chassis
•Provides additional benefits by reducing the number of ATM edge-switch ports that are required to
terminate the chassis
The term subtending refers to the host chassis, and subtended refers to the downstream chassis in a
subtended network.

Cisco 6130 NI-1 to NI-2 Upgrade Kit Conversion Procedures 78-10709-03
Subtended Network Configuration Overview
A subtended network configuration supports the following features:
•The capacity to run data as fast as the speed of its subtended link. Uplink speed cannot exceed the
OC-3 speed.
•Four arbitration priorities, one for each quality of service (QoS) level. The supported QoS service
levels are
– Constant bit rate (CBR) for rate-limited services that require guaranteed bandwidth and
bounded delay
– Variable bit rate-real time (VBR-rt) for delay-sensitive voice and video services
– Variable bit rate-non-real time (VBR-nrt) for high-priority data services
– Unspecified bit rate (UBR) for low-priority data services
•Explicit forward congestion indication (EFCI) marking for available bit rate (ABR)
service support.
•Guaranteed frame rate (GFR).
•Tree or daisy chain configurations for DS3 subtended Cisco 6130 chassis.
•Daisy chain configurations for OC-3 subtended Cisco 6130 chassis.
•Fair access to the trunk port for each subtended chassis.
•A network trunk port that operates as fast as any subtended link.
The NI-2 card provides three types of subtended network connections:
•A high-speed OC-3 optical ATM interface that supports single-mode fiber (SMF)
intermediate range
•A high-speed OC-3 optical ATM interface that supports multimode fiber (MMF) short range
•A DS3 ATM interface
The following sections detail the three types of subtending network connections.
Subtended Network Configuration with DS3 NI-2 Cards
In a subtended network configuration using DS3 NI-2 cards, you can subtend a Cisco 6130 chassis
to four tiers, with up to twelve chassis, all connecting through one subtending host chassis to the
ATM backbone).
Figure 1 shows typical DS3-configured Cisco 6130 systems subtended in a combined subtending tree
topology with daisy chain. The subtending host chassis at the top of the subtending tree connects
directly to the ATM switch. The middle two Cisco 6130 chassis in the lowest level are daisy chained.
TRNK 1 refers to the single network trunk or Cisco 6130 chassis subtended network interface. SBTD 2
and SBTD 3 refer to the two Cisco 6130 chassis subtended interfaces. You make network interface
connections at the system I/O card that is installed on the Cisco 6130 chassis backplane.

Subtended Network Configuration Overview
Figure 1 Subtended Network Configuration Using DS3 NI-2 Cards
Note If you are combining Cisco 6130 with NI-1 systems and Cisco 6130 with NI-2 systems in
a subtending tree topology, the subtending host chassis connecting to the ATM switch
must be a Cisco 6130 with NI-2 system. For better performance, Cisco does not
recommend mixing NI-1 and NI-2 systems in the same subtending tree topology.
You can subtend Cisco 6130 chassis with DS3 NI-2 cards in a continuous daisy chain.
However, this subtending scheme is not optimal for data throughput for daisy-chained
Cisco 6130 chassis that use DS3 NI-2 cards.
Cisco IOS software is not implemented to manage the primary Cisco 6130 chassis and all subtended
Cisco 6130 chassis as a single large Cisco 6130 with NI-2 card system. The initial release of Cisco 6130
with NI-2 system emphasizes bandwidth aggregation. Each Cisco 6130 supports an independent IOS
processor and MIB.

Step 2 Use the copy command for your platform (cp command in UNIX or the copy command on Windows)
to copy the utility package directory from the source directory into your local directory.
cp /source_dir /dest_dir
An example of the directory structure is as follows:
Unix /cdrom0/CDM30/utilities/transition/unix
PC d:\utilities\transition\pc
Step 3 After you have installed the directory that contains the package utility files, enter the following
command to begin running the utility:
ni12ni2–n NSSFile –t TemplateFile [–c ConfigFile] [–r ReportFile] [–v ni2defaults.txt] [–f FCM]
The command options are as follow:
•-n NSS file - with path. This file must have the NSS extension. This file is required.
•-t template file. This file must have a TMP extension. This file is required.
•-v NI2defaults.txt - with path. This file is optional. If you do not enter a filename, the utility defaults
to -v NI2defaults.
•-f FCM - with path (SCFeature Compatibility Matrix file). If you do not enter a filename, the utility
defaults to -f FCM.
See the “NI-1 to NI-2 Migration Utility Input Examples” section on page 17 for some examples of
using these command options.
Note If you do not specify a path, the utility assumes the path is the same as the NSS
file path.
NI-1 to NI-2 Migration Utility Input Examples
An example of running the utility on Windows follows:
ni1-to-ni2 -n C:\Program Files\Cisco\VR4W 3.0.0\System1.NSS \
-t C:\Program Files\Cisco\TemplateFile.TMP \
-c C:\Program Files\Cisco\System1.CFG \
-r C:\Program Files\Cisco\VR4W 3.0.0\System1.TMP \
-v C:\Program Files\Cisco\ni2defaults.txt \
-f C:\Program Files\Cisco\VR4W 3.0.0\SCFeatureCapabilityMatrix.csv
An example of running the utility on a Solaris platform follows:
ni1-to-ni2 -n /opt/CSCOvrovs/NSS/172.21.177.22/172.21.177.22.19991011_192851.NSS \
-t /opt/CSCOvrovs/TemplateFile.TMP \
-c /opt/CSCOvrovs/NSS/172.21.177.22/172.21.177.22.19991011_192851.CFG \
-r /opt/CSCOvrovs/NSS/172.21.177.22/172.21.177.22.19991011_192851.TMP \
-v /opt/CSCOvrovs/conf/ni2defaults.txt \
-f /opt/CSCOvrovs/CMF/SCFeatureCapabilityMatrix.csv

NI-1 to NI-2 Migration Utility Output Files
The NI-1 to NI-2 migration utility creates the following output files:
•-c Config file - with path. If you do not specify a path, the utility assumes that the path is the same
as the path for the NSS file, but with a .CFG extension.
•-r Report file - with path. If you do not specify a path, the utility assumes that the path is the same
as the path for the NSS file, but with a .TMP extension.
Note If the utility cannot find one or more of the input files, or cannot create one or more
of the output files, the utility exits with an error.
Run the NI-2 Preparation Build
Complete the following steps to run the NI-2 preparation build:
Caution The procedure that is outlined in the following steps will force the Cisco 6130 system to
stop providing DSL service for the duration of the conversion procedures. Do not proceed
unless this is acceptable.
Caution Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco DSLAM equipment.
Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly grounded using ground straps
to eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment. Cards are subject to ESD damage
whenever they are removed from the chassis.
Step 1 Insert the Cisco NI-1 to NI-2 Line Card Upgrade Utility CD.
The CD contains the 3.0.0.A.rdf file along with images for the system controller card, 4xflexi line cards,
and the 4xSDSL line cards.
Step 2 Copy the .rdf and image files to the appropriate Windows or UNIX directories.
For Windows, copy the files into the folder where your program files are stored. For UNIX, copy the
image files into the /tftpboot/ directory and the .rdf file into the /opt/CSCOvrovs/RDF/ directory.
Step 3 Upgrade the Cisco 6130 system node software to Release c6100-3.0.0.A.
Note For detailed node upgrade procedures, refer to either the ViewRunner for Windows
User Guide or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView User Guide.
During the upgrade process you may receive a warning that certain hardware
revisions were found in the Cisco 6130 but not listed in the .rdf file. This warning
is followed by a list of the hardware revisions. This list refers to the cards that were
removed from the chassis in Step 1. This is an expected response. Click Next or
Ok to continue.
The upgrade is successful and complete when the STATUS, ACTIVE, and four port LEDs are solid
green on the 4xflexi and 4xSDSL line cards. The 4xflexi and 4xSDSL line cards will now boot in both
an NI-1 or an NI-2 system.

Cisco 6130 NI-1 to NI-2 Conversion Procedures
Caution During the software download, the boot ROM for the cards will be reprogrammed. Do not
remove any cards from the chassis during the software download. If cards are removed
from the chassis or loss of power occurs during this operation, the cards will lose the
ability to boot up and will require an RMA repair.
Caution Do not remove a 4xflexi or a 4xSDSL line card from the Cisco 6130 chassis unless the
STATUS, ACTIVE, and four port LEDs are solid green. If line cards are removed from the
chassis before the LEDs are solid green, the line cards will lose the ability to boot up and
will require an RMA repair.
Step 4 The chassis may now be used to upgrade additional 4xflexi or 4xSDSL line cards from other NI-1
systems that are currently being converted to NI-2 systems. To program the line card’s boot ROM,
insert the line cards into the chassis and the new image will download.
Step 5 Remove the system controller card, 4xflexi line cards, and 4xSDSL line cards from the chassis.
a. Lift up the ejector tab(s). This action disconnects the card from the backplane.
b. Carefully slide the card out of the slot.
c. Repeat for each xTU-C line card (if applicable) and the system controller card.
Note To prevent damage to the cards that are removed from the chassis, place the cards
upright in a tray.
Remove the Power
The system should not be powered while you install and connect the Cisco 6130 system
hardware components.
Remove power to the system with one of the following methods:
•Remove the fuses from the fuse and alarm panel
•Turn off the breakers in the fuse and alarm panel

Remove the Current System I/O Card
Complete the following steps to remove a system I/O card from the Cisco 6130 chassis backplane:
Note There are two versions of the system I/O card currently in the field. With the earlier
version (prior to Release 2.4.0), the DS3 BNC connectors are located at the bottom left
corner of the card and the 10BaseT Ethernet/LAN connector is located across the bottom
of the card. The removal procedures are the same for each version of the system I/O card.
Step 1 Remove the optional rear cover, if your system has one.
Step 2 Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two backplane screws that hold the plastic ESD shield
over the system I/O card. Keep the backplane screws for future use.
