Configuring Virtual Ports on the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x Switch
Introduction | You have to configure a virtual port for each connection between the remote nodes | |||
| and the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch. |
| ||
How to... |
|
|
| |
Follow these steps to configure virtual ports between the remote nodes and the | ||||
| PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch. |

|
|
|
|
| 1 |
| From the CTP Main menu, select | The Ports menu appears, as shown |
|
|
| Configure | in Figure |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2 |
| Enter the Port Number. This value | The Port Type: parameter appears. |
|
|
| should be 100 or above to configure a |
|
|
|
| virtual port. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3 |
| Enter X25 for an X.25 connection or | The standard port parameters for |
|
|
| FR for a Frame Relay connection. | X.25 or Frame Relay appear in |
|
|
|
| sequence. Refer to the appropriate |
|
|
|
| manuals for details. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4 |
| Fill in the remaining parameters, and | This saves the record in CMEM. |
|
|
| enter a semicolon <;>. Press Return |
|
|
|
| when you are finished. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5 |
| Perform a Node boot. | This implements the configuration |
|
|
|
| changes you made. |
Booting Virtual |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Boot a virtual port by entering the virtual port number and issuing a port boot | ||||
Ports | command. Booting a virtual port brings down SVCs associated with that virtual port, | |||
| but does not affect the operation of the T1 or E1 port, or of any other virtual ports. | |||
Enabling/ Disabling |
|
|
| |
Enabling or disabling a virtual port has no effect on a T1 or E1 port or other virtual | ||||
Virtual Ports | ports. However, disabling a T1 or E1 port makes all associated virtual ports unusable. | |||
| Enabling a T1 or E1 port makes all associated virtual ports usable; their SVCs can be | |||
| established. Virtual ports previously disabled via the disable port command remain | |||
| disabled. |
|
| |
Port Speed |
|
|
| |
Port speed for virtual ports is set from the DS0 Rate parameter in the Virtual Ports | ||||
| Mapping Table. You can set the rate of speed for traffic at 56k or 64k. See the | |||
| “Configuring Virtual Port Mapping Table” section on page |
