Managing Virtual Ports

 

 

 

 

Parameters:

<vport id>

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

 

ilmimultireg

ILMImultireg is an enhancement to ILMI, when ILMI is disabled,

 

 

ILMImultireg is also disabled.

 

 

 

 

By default ilmimultireg is enabled on a M770 ATM Switch.

Enabling ILMI on a virtual port

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

Command:

M15-155s8:/>vport

enable <vport id> ilmi

Example:

M15-155s8:/>vport

enable 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.

Enabling ILMI polling on a virtual port

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

Command:

M15-155s8:/>vport

enable

<vport id> poll

Example:

M15-155s8:/>vport

enable

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 device is still attached.

Since ILMI polling is an enhancement to ILMI, ILMI must already be enabled.

Enabling ILMI multiple registration

A given address can be registered via ILMI on multiple ports.

To enable ILMI registration on multiple port, use the vport enable command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>vport enable <vport id> ilmimultireg

Example:

M15-155s8:/>vport enable 8.1.0 ilmimultireg

Parameters:

<vport id>

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

 

ilmimultireg

ILMImultireg is an enhancement to ILMI, when ILMI is disabled,

 

 

ILMImultireg is also disabled.

 

 

By default ilmimultireg is enabled.
