Configuring the ACIP
Configure an ACIP Interface
The ACIP interface (or subinterface) uses the configuration defaults shown in Table 1. For information on how to change the defaults, refer to the “Configuring ATM” chapter of the
Note If a command is not available, the router displays the message “Command not supported on this interface.”

To configure the ATM interface on the ACIP, perform the following tasks beginning in global configuration mode:
Task |
| Command |
Step 1 Assign a bridge group.1 | bridge | |
Step 2 Specify the interface and enter interface | interface atm slot/02 | |
| configuration mode. |
|
|
|
|
Step 3 | Assign the bridge group to the interface. | |
|
|
|
Step 4 | Disable the spanning tree on the interface. | |
|
|
|
Step 5 | Change the shutdown state to up and enable | no shutdown |
| the interface. |

1.For more information on creating bridge groups, refer to the “Configuring Transparent Bridging” chapter of the Bridging and IBM Network Configuration Guide .
2.Because the ACIP contains a single interface, the port number is always 0.
