AINI Link Configuration Quickstart

The quickstart procedure in this section provides a summary of the tasks required to configure ATM
Inter-Network Interface (AINI) links on Cisco MGX switches. This procedure is provided as an
overview and as a quick reference for those who have previously configured these types of connections.

Purpose
Start a configuration session.
To perform all the steps in this quickstart procedure, you
Note
must log in as a user with SUPER_GP privileges or
higher.
Bring up the PXM1E line that will become the AINI trunk as
described in the "Line Configuration
earlier in this chapter.
Add and configure an ATM port for the AINI trunk. This step
establishes ATM communications between two ATM devices.
Specify NNI for interswitch trunks.
For standard port configuration, see the
section later in this chapter.
If you want to configure ATM communications over an IMA
group, see the "Configuring Inverse Multiplexing for
section later in this chapter.
Assign trunk resources to the PNNI controller. This step can
assign all the trunk bandwidth to a single controller, or it can
assign portions of the trunk bandwidth to each controller.
See the "Partitioning Port Resources Between
section later in this chapter.
Define the signaling protocol used at the local end of the AINI
trunk. The default signaling protocol is none. Specify aini for
AINI trunks.
For example:
8850_LA.7.PXM.a > cnfpnportsig 1:1.1:1 -nniver aini
See the "Selecting the Port Signaling
