Enabling Atm Ilmi; Activating Atm Ilmi Pvc Discovery; Specifying The Atm Ilmi Keep-Alive Rate - Cisco 10000 Series Configuration Manual

Line Card Commands

Enabling ATM ILMI

Use the atm ilmi-enable interface configuration command to enable ILMI on a port.
atm ilmi-enable
no atm ilmi-enable
The default is ILMI is enabled, but you should disable the ILMI if the peer does not support ILMI. For
peers to be able to exchange ILMI information, you must create PVC 0/16 using the ilmi argument.
The following example shows how to disable ILMI:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# no atm ilmi-enable

Activating ATM ILMI PVC Discovery

This command causes ILMI-compliant devices to propagate PVCs. Use the atm ilmi-pvc-discovery
command in interface configuration mode to activate ATM PVC discovery.
atm ilmi-pvc-discovery [subinterface]
no atm ilmi-pvc-discovery [subinterface]
Where:
•
Note
The following example shows how to enable PVC discovery on the ATM interface 7/0/0, for port 0, on
an 8-Port E3/DS3 ATM line card that has ILMI enabled.
Router(config)# interface atm 7/0/0
Router(config-if)# pvc 0/16 ilmi
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# exit
Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-pvc-discovery

Specifying the ATM ILMI Keep-Alive Rate

Use the atm ilmi-keepalive command to specify the ILMI keep-alive rate.
atm ilmi-keepalive [seconds [retry counts]]
Where:
•
•
The default value for seconds is 5000 and for retry counts is 4.
The following example shows how to enable ILMI keepalives for the ATM interface 5/0/0:
Router(config)# interface atm 5/0/0
Router(config-if)# atm ilmi-keepalive 10000 retry 3

subinterface instructs the software to associate all PVCs with existing subinterface numbers equal
to their VPI numbers. For example: PVC 2/102 is listed under subinterface 7/0/0.2, PVC 12/156 is
listed under 7/0/0.12, and so on.
The subinterface argument associates PVCs only with subinterfaces that have already been
created. If there is no subinterface for a VPI value, the system associates the PVC with the main
interface.
seconds is a value from 1 to 65535
retry counts is a value from 2 to 5
