Configuring A Virtual-Template - 3Com 3C13636 Configuration Manual

3Com Router 3000 Ethernet Family
Configuration Guide
After setting up a VPN session, the system needs to create a virtual interface for
exchanging data with the remote end. For this purpose, the system will choose a
virtual-template according to the user's configuration, and dynamically create a virtual
interface based on the configuration parameters of the template. For VPN configuration
details, refer to the related sections of VPN Configuration in this manual..
Likewise, after bundling multiple PPP links into an MP, the system also needs to create
a virtual interface for exchanging data with the remote end. In this case, you can select
a virtual-template for the purpose of dynamic creation of virtual interface.

4.7.2 Configuring a Virtual-Template

In VPN and MP application environments, the system automatically creates and
deletes virtual interfaces, which is completely transparent to the user. The user only
needs to configure VPN or MP on the involved physical interface, creates and
configures a virtual-template, and finally associates the virtual-template with the
physical interface.
Perform the following tasks to configure a virtual-template:
Create/Delete a virtual-template
Set operating parameters of virtual-template
Associate the virtual-template with the involved physical interface
I. Creating/Deleting a virtual-template
Perform the following configuration in system view.
Table 4-8 Create/delete a virtual-template
Create a virtual-template and enter the
virtual-template view
Delete the virtual-template
If the virtual-template that you intend to create by using the interface virtual-template
command has existed, the system will directly enter the view of the virtual-template.
Otherwise, the system will create the virtual-template assigned with specified number
before entering its view.
In deleting a virtual-template, make sure that all of its derived virtual interfaces have
been removed and this virtual-template is not in use any more.
