ccs connect (controller)
To configure a common channel signaling (CCS) connection on an interface configured to support CCS frame forwarding, use the ccsconnect command in controller configuration mode. To disable the CCS connection on the interface, use theno form of this command.
ccs connect {serial | atm}number [ [dlci] | pvc vpi/vci| pvcname] [cid-number]
no ccs connect {serial | atm}number [ [dlci] | pvc vpi/vci| pvcname] [cid-number]
Syntax Description
serial |
Makes a serial CCS connection for Frame Relay. |
atm |
Makes an ATM CCS connection. |
dlci |
(Optional) Specifies the data-link connection identifier (DLCI) number. |
pvc vpi / vci |
(Optional) Specifies the permanent virtual circuit (PVC) virtual path identifier (VPI) or virtual channel identifier (VCI). Range is from 0 to 255; the slash is required. |
pvc name |
(Optional) Specifies the PVC string that names the PVC for recognition. |
cid-number |
(Optional) If you have executed the ccsencapfrf11 command, the cid-number argument allows you to specify any channel identification (CID) number from 5 to 255. |
Command Default
No CCS connection is made.
Command Modes
Controller configuration (config-controller)
Command History

Modification |
---|---|
12.0(2)T |
This command was introduced on the Cisco MC3810. |
12.0(7)XK |
The cidnumber argument was added; the dlci keyword and vcd options were removed. |
12.1(2)T |
The CID syntax addition and removal of the dlci keyword and vcd options were integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T. |
12.1(2)XH |
This command was implemented on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3600 series, Cisco 7200 series, and Cisco 7500 series. |
12.1(3)T |
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3)T. |
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure a CCS connection. If the CCS connection is over Frame Relay, specify a serial interface and the DLCI. If the CCS connection is over ATM, specify atm , the slot number, and the PVC.
If you have executed the ccsencapfrf11 command, the cidnumber option of the ccsconnect command allows you to specify any CID from 5 to 255. If you do not issue the ccsencapfrf11 command, Cisco encapsulation is used, and any CID value other than 254 is ignored.
Note |
CDP and keepalives are disabled by default on a D-channel interface. |
Examples
To configure a Frame Relay CCS frame-forwarding connection on DLCI 100 by using the default CID of 254, enter the following command:
ccs connect serial 1 100
or:
ccs connect serial 1 100 10
To configure a CCS frame-forwarding connection over an ATM PVC, enter the following command:
ccs connect atm 0 pvc 100/10
or:
ccs connect atm 0 pvc 10/100 21
or:
ccs connect atm 0 pvc mypvc 10 21
To configure a Frame Relay CCS frame-forwarding connection on DLCI 100 using a CID of 110, enter the following command:
ccs connect serial 1 100 110
