Configuring the ACIP

Configure an ACIP Interface

The ACIP interface (or subinterface) uses the configuration defaults shown in Table 1. For information on how to change the defaults, refer to the “Configuring ATM” chapter of the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide and the “Configuring Interfaces” chapter of the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide . All ATM and interface commands might not be applicable to the ACIP interface.

Note If a command is not available, the router displays the message “Command not supported on this interface.”

Table 1	ACIP Defaults
Parameter		Command	Default Value
Maximum transmission unit		mtu bytes	4470
Exception queue buffers		atm exception queue number	32
Receive buffers		atm rxbuff number	256
Transmit buffers		atm txbuff number	256
Maximum number of virtual		atm maxvc number	2048
circuits (VCs)
ATM raw cell queue size		atm rawq-size number	32
ATM VCs per VP		atm vc-per-vp number	1024
Source of Transmit Clock		atm clock internal	Recovered receive clock

To configure the ATM interface on the ACIP, perform the following tasks beginning in global configuration mode:

Task		Command
Step 1 Assign a bridge group.1		bridge bridge-groupprotocol {dec ieee}
Step 2 Specify the interface and enter interface		interface atm slot/02
	configuration mode.
Step 3	Assign the bridge group to the interface.	bridge-group number
Step 4	Disable the spanning tree on the interface.	bridge-group number spanning-disabled
Step 5	Change the shutdown state to up and enable	no shutdown
	the interface.

1.For more information on creating bridge groups, refer to the “Configuring Transparent Bridging” chapter of the Bridging and IBM Network Configuration Guide .

2.Because the ACIP contains a single interface, the port number is always 0.
