Administering interfaces

this option, the system displays a list of available VLAN indexes and the bridge ports associated with them.

LIS Interface — When you select LIS as the interface type, the Administration Console prompts you for LIS interface information. The information you enter depends on whether you define permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), switched virtual circuits (SVCs), or both on the LIS interface. See the LANplex® 2500 Operation Guide for more information on PVCs and SVCs.

If you define SVCs, you need to enter an ATM ARP server address. This server maintains the IP-to-ATM address translation table. You can enter the maximum number of SVCs allowed on this interface. The minimum holding time determines the least amount of time an SVC connection remains open. The inactivity timer determines how long the connection can remain open with no activity after the minimum holding time has expired. You also need to enter the ATM port number for this interface.

If you define only PVCs on the interface, you need to enter only the PVC numbers and the ATM port number. The other prompts do not appear because you do not enter an ATM ARP server address. If you define both SVCs and PVCs, enter all LIS interface information.

Displaying You can display both summary and detailed information about all IP Interfaces interfaces configured for the system. The detail display contains all the

summary information as well as information about the advertisement address, PVCs, and VLANs.
