Chapter 6 Managing Virtual Ports
Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide 75
Resetting Virtual Port Parameters
You can reset a virtual port parameter so that the value returns to the default value.
When the virtual port is re-enabled ILMI will, where possible, attempt to learn a
value for the parameter through its dialogue with the remote device. If ILMI cannot
discover a value for the parameter, the parameter remains at the default setting.
You can reset the following virtual port parameters using the vport reset
command:
• Signalling profile
•Stack type
• Signalling VPCI range
• Signalling VCI range
• VPI range on a root virtual port.
•ILMI version
• Waitqsaal.
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 clear a parameter for a virtual port, you must perform the following steps:
1 Disable the virtual port.
2 Reset the parameter for the disabled virtual port.
3 Enable the virtual port.
Resetting the signalling profile parameter
If you reset the virtual port’s signalling profile parameter, the port will re-learn
what is on the other end of the link when it is enabled and a remote device is
connected. For more information about this parameter, see “Setting the signalling
profile parameter” on page 69.
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.
