Using the CONFIG (Talk 6) Process

 

You can con®gure the following protocols on spare interfaces, but you cannot

 

activate them on the network using the activate command:

v

IPv6

 

v

LNM

 

v

OSI/DECnet V

 

v

XTP

Note: When using the con®guration program, use the following to work with spare interfaces:

1.Make the con®guration changes for the spare interface on the device

2.Enter the activate command on the device to bring the spare interface, protocols, and features online

3.Retrieve the con®guration using the con®guration program

4.Save the retrieved con®guration into the con®guration program database

There are requirements for certain functions. These are:

APPN

To activate this protocol on a spare interface, you must ®rst activate the

 

interface and then con®gure the protocol on the activated interface.

Bandwidth

To con®gure BRS on a spare interface, you must enable BRS on each

Reservation

network interface where Frame Relay circuits will be active before activating

(BRS)

the spare interface. After activating the spare interface, you can then use

 

BRS con®guration commands to make changes such as adding a traffic

 

class or assigning a protocol to a traffic class.

DECnet IV

To activate this protocol on a spare interface, you must ®rst activate the

 

interface and then con®gure the protocol on the activated interface. Use the

 

DECnet IV set command to activate the con®guration changes.

Frame Relay

v You cannot activate an FR dial circuit interface unless the dial circuit's

 

base net is already active.

 

v An activate for an FR dial circuit will fail if the frame size, MAC header, or

 

trailer required by the spare interface is larger than other dial circuits

 

already assigned to the base net.

 

v If data compression is not already active in the device, data compression

 

will not work on a spare interface de®ned for data compression.

BGP

Use the BGP reset neighbor command to activate new neighbors.

IPX

Use the reset command to activate static routes, static services, and ®lter

 

lists on the spare interface.

PPPv If data compression is not already active in the device, data compression does not work on a spare interface de®ned for data compression.

vYou cannot activate a spare PPP interface if the device's global buffer is too small to support a 1500-byte PPP MRU.

vYou cannot activate a PPP dial circuit interface unless the dial circuit's base net is already active.

vAn activate for a PPP dial circuit will fail if the frame size, MAC header, or trailer required by the spare interface is larger than other dial circuits already assigned to the base net.
