Managing ILMI

Disabling ILMI on a virtual port

If an attached device does not support ILMI, you will need to disable ILMI on the
virtual port. Note that if the remote device is an end-station then address
registration will not take place automatically and a static route will need to be
added for the attached device.
To disable ILMI on a virtual port, use the
Command:
Example:
Parameters:
Note: Before any virtual port parameters can be changed or reset, you must disable
the virtual port. For more information about how to disable a virtual port, see
Disabling a virtual port earlier in this chapter.

Disabling ILMI polling on a virtual port

If an attached end-station does not support ILMI polling, the M770 ATM Switch
will not poll to ensure the integrity of the link. However, if the end-station does
support ILMI polling but is not responding to polls in time, the virtual port will not
become operational at all or be intermittent. Before the virtual port can become
operational, you will need to disable ILMI polling.
To disable ILMI polling on a virtual port, use the
Command:
Example:
Parameters:
54
vport disable
M15-155s8:/>vport disable <vport id> ilmi
M15-155s8:/>vport disable 8.1.0 ilmi
The virtual port in the form
<vport id>
<slot>.<port>.<virtual port number>.
ILMI is a protocol used by a switch to learn
ilmi
about an attached device.
M15-155s8:/>vport disable <vport id> poll
M15-155s8:/>vport disable 8.1.0 poll
The virtual port in the form
<vport id>
<slot>.<port>.<virtual port number>.
ILMI polling is a mechanism used by the M770
poll
ATM Switch to ensure that the same end-
station is still attached to it.
Since ILMI polling is an enhancement to ILMI,
when ILMI is disabled, polling is also disabled.
