Configuring ILMI Automatic Configuration

The Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E) and Cisco MGX 8830 switches support the automatic configuration
feature of ILMI 4.0, which allows two devices that share a link to share their configurations and negotiate
a common set of communication parameters. For example, if two network devices share a link and are
configured for different maximum VCIs on a partition, the automatic configuration feature can
determine and select the highest common VCI supported by both nodes. To use ILMI automatic
configuration, the devices at each end of the link must support this ILMI 4.0 feature.
To enable or disable automatic configuration on a port, enter the cnfautocnf command as described in
the following procedure.
A link between two nodes will not operate correctly if the ILMI automatic configuration feature is
Note
enabled at one end and disabled at the other.
