Configuring UNI Interfaces
The User-Network Interface (UNI) specification defines communications between ATM end stations
(such as workstations and routers) and ATM switches in private ATM networks.
To configure a UNI interface, perform the following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Example
The following example shows how to disable autoconfiguration on ATM interface0/1/0 and configure
the interface as the user side of a private UNI running version4.0:
Switch(HB-1)(config)# interface atm 0/1/0
Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration
Switch(HB-1)(config-if)#
%ATM-6-ILMINOAUTOCFG: ILMI(ATM0/1/0): Auto-configuration is disabled, current interface
parameters will be used at next interface restart.
Switch(HB-1)(config-if)# atm uni side user type private version 4.0
Switch(HB-1)(config-if)#
%ATM-5-ATMSOFTSTART: Restarting ATM signalling and ILMI on ATM0/1/0.

Displaying the UNI Interface Configuration

To show the UNI configuration for an ATM interface, use the following EXEC command:
Example
The following example shows the ATM interface0/1/0 UNI configuration:
Switch(HB-1)# show atm interface atm 0/1/0
Interface: ATM0/1/0 Port-type: oc3suni
IF Status: UP Admin Status: up
Auto-config: disabled AutoCfgState: not applicable
IF-Side: Network IF-type: UNI
Uni-type: private Uni-version: V4.0

Step2 Switch(config-if)# no atm auto-configuration Disables autoconfiguration on the interface.
Step3 Switch(config-if)# atm uni [side {network |
user}] [type {private | public}]
[version {3.0 | 3.1 | 4.0}]
Configures the ATM UNI interface.
Command Purpose
