Chapter 6 Managing Virtual Ports

Setting Virtual Port Parameters

You can set individual parameters for a virtual port. Once a virtual port parameter has been set, ILMI will not override the parameter when the virtual port is re- enabled. If you want ILMI to override a set parameter, you must disable the virtual port and clear the parameter. You must then re-enable the virtual port.

You can set the following virtual port parameters using the vport set command:

•Signalling profile

•Signalling stack type

•Signalling VPCI range

•Signalling VPCI base

•Signalling VCI range

•VPI range on a root virtual port

•ILMI version

•Waiting for incoming Q.SAAL connection

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.

To set a parameter for a virtual port, you must perform the following steps:

1Disable the virtual port.

2Set the parameter for the disabled virtual port, as required.

3Enable the virtual port.

Setting the signalling profile parameter

You can set the signalling profile on a virtual port to either “user” or “network”. One side of the link must be set to “user” and the other side to “network”.

If ILMI is enabled, then normally end-stations are always the “user” side of a link. For more information on which signalling profile should be used for an attached device, see ATM Port Configuration on page 12.

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.

To set the signalling profile for a virtual port, use the vport set profile command.

Command: M15-155s8:/>vport set profile <vport id> [user network]
