Chapter 6 Managing Virtual Ports

Setting the signalling VPCI range

You can set a signalling VPCI range for a virtual port. This range can only be changed on the root virtual port.

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 signalling VPCI range for a virtual port, use the vport set sigvpcirange command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>vport set sigvpcirange <vport id> <range>

Example:

M15-155s8:/>vport set sigvpcirange 8.1.0 [0..2]

Parameters:

<vport id>

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

 

<range>

Selects the signalling VPCI range that will be used for the virtual

 

 

port.

Setting the signalling VPCI base

You can set a signalling VPCI Base for a non-root virtual port. This command enables the switch to interoperate with switches that use the VPI value for the VPCI in the setup signalling message. The default VPCI value is ‘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 a signalling VPCI base for a virtual port, use the vport set sigvpcibase command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>vport set sigvpcibase <vport id> 0vpi

Example:

M15-155s8:/>vport set sigvpcibase 8.1.2 vpi

Parameters:

<vport

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

 

id>

 

 

<0vpi>

Selects the signalling VPCI base that will be used for the virtual port.

 

 

To interoperate with another M770 ATM Switch, set it to ‘0’.

 

 

This is the default setting.
