Field

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poll Mode

 

ILMI polling is used to verify that the same end-station remains

 

 

attached at a given port. There are two methods that can be

 

 

used:

 

 

• check the ESI has not changed. This is referred to as “Port +

 

 

ESI”.

 

 

• check that the system up-time has not changed by a

 

 

significant amount. This is referred to as “SysUpTime”.

 

 

 

Multi Reg

 

This specifies whether multiple ILMI registration is enabled or

 

 

not on the virtual port.

 

 

 

Strict AAL

 

This specifies whether the translation of the AAL parameter,

Trans.

 

that is between UNI 3.0, IISP 3.0, UNI 3.1 and IISP 3.1 should be

 

 

OFF, Normal or Strict.

 

 

 

Sig. SSCOP

 

This parameter is reserved for future use.

Rx. Window

All ports are set to the default parameter.

 

 

Wait for Peer

This specifies whether this vport will wait indefinitely for an

SSCOP

 

incoming QSAAL connection.

 

 

 

Listing the status information for all virtual ports

You can view the status information for all virtual ports on a module or for a specific virtual port.

Any virtual port information that is marked with an asterisk (*) has been learned by the M770 ATM Switch during the ILMI dialogue with the remote device. Information that is not marked with an asterisk has either been configured by the user or is the default setting for the virtual port.

To view the virtual port status, enter the vport show status command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>vport show status [<vport id>]

Parameter:

<vport

The virtual port.

 

id>

This is displayed in the format <slot>.<port>.<virtual port number>.

 

 

If a <vport number> parameter is not supplied then the link status summary

 

 

information is supplied for all virtual ports.
