Enabling ILMI on a virtual port
To enable ILMI on a virtual port, use the vport enable command.
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.
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.
Parameters: <vport id> The virtual port in the form <slot>.<port>.<virtualport 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.
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>.<virtualport number>.
ilmi ILMI is a protocol used by a switch to learn about an attached
device.
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>.<virtualportnumber>.
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.
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>.<virtualportnu mber>.
ilmimultireg ILMImultireg is an enhancement to ILMI, when ILMI is disabled,
ILMImultireg is also disabled.
By default ilmimultireg is enabled.
