Chapter 6 Managing Virtual Ports

Managing ILMI

Disabling ILMI on a virtual port

If an attached device does not support ILMI, you will need to disable ILMI on the virtual port. Note that if the remote device is an end-station then address registration will not take place automatically and a static route will need to be added for the attached device.

To disable ILMI on a virtual port, use the vport disable command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>vport disable <vport id> ilmi

Example:

M15-155s8:/>vport disable 8.1.0 ilmi

Parameters:

<vport id>

The virtual port in the form <slot>.<port>.<virtual port

 

 

number>.

 

ilmi

ILMI is a protocol used by a switch to learn about an

 

 

attached device.

Note: You must disable the virtual port before you can change or reset any virtual port parameters. For more information about how to disable a virtual port, see “Disabling a virtual port” on page 65.

Disabling ILMI polling on a virtual port

If an attached end-station does not support ILMI polling, the M770 ATM Switch will not poll to ensure the integrity of the link. However, if the end-station does support ILMI polling but is not responding to polls in time, the virtual port will not become operational at all or be intermittent. Before the virtual port can become operational, you will need to disable ILMI polling.

To disable ILMI polling on a virtual port, use the vport disable command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>vport

disable

<vport id> poll

Example:

M15-155s8:/>vport

disable

8.1.0 poll

Parameters:

<vport id>

The virtual port in the form <slot>.<port>.<virtual port number>.

 

poll

ILMI polling is a mechanism used by the M770 ATM Switch to

 

 

ensure that the same end-station is still attached to it.

Since ILMI polling is an enhancement to ILMI, when ILMI is disabled, polling is also disabled.

Disabling ILMI multiple registration

Disables the registration of the same address via ILMI, on multiple ports.

To disable ILMI registration on multiple ports, use the vport disable command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>vport

disable

<vport id> ilmimultireg

Example:

M15-155s8:/>vport

disable

8.1.0 ilmimultireg
