Chapter 6 Managing Virtual Ports

Example: M15-155s8:/>vport set profile 8.1.0 user

Parameters: <vport

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

id>

 

user

During signalling the virtual port will act as the user side of the

 

connection.

network

During signalling the virtual port will act as the network side of the

 

connection. The default signalling profile is “network”.

 

However, on an inter-switch link, using IISP, one side of the link will

 

have to be configured to “user” side. This does not apply when 2 M770

 

ATM Switches are connected together which will automatically

 

configure one side of the link to “user”.

Setting the stack type parameter

You can set the signalling stack type for a virtual port. The default signalling stack type is PNNI 1.0.

The signalling stack type can be:

UNI 3.0

UNI 3.1

Note, straight “IISP” is by default based on UNI 3.1 signalling.

UNI 4.0

IISP 3.0

IISP 3.1

PNNI 1.0

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 stack type for a virtual port, use the vport set stacktype command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>vport set stacktype <vport id> <value>

Example:

M15-155s8:/>vport set stacktype 8.1.0 UNI 3.1

Parameters:

<vport id>

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

 

<value>

Selects the type of signalling stack that will be used for the virtual

 

 

port.
