5.4.4Creating a Soft PVP

Note Soft PVPs are supported only on the SmartSwitch 6500 ATM switch.

The following is an example of creating a soft PVP between port 7a1 on the source switch and port 6b3 on the target switch.

1.Use the set portconfig command on the target switch to increase the MaxVpiBits.

Smart6500_1 # set portconfig
PortNumber()	: 7a1
PortAdminStatus(up)	:
IlmiAdminStatus(up)	:
SigType(autoConfig)	:
SigRole(other)	:
InterfaceType(private)	:	— Increase to two bits = 22-1 = 3 possible VPIs
MaxVpiBits(0)	: 2
MaxVciBits(11)	:
MaxSvcVpci(3)	:
MinSvcVci(32)	:
MaxVccs(8192)	:
MaxSvpVpci(3)	:
MaxVpcs(3)	:

2.On the target switch, define a target ATM address. The target ATM address can be any address that is either eight (8) or twenty (20) bytes long and must not be identical to any address currently listed in the ATM routing table. Use the show atmroute command to check which addresses are currently defined on the target switch.

SmartSwitch # show atmroute
