Enabling Vsi Ilmi Functionality For The Pnni Controller - Cisco BPX-BXM-155-8DX Installation And Configuration Manual

VSI Configuration Procedures
Once a service template has been assigned, you can then adjust some of the parameters of this
configuration on a per-interface basis. Changes you make to the qbin configuration of an interface affect
only that interface's qbin configuration. Your changes do not affect the qbin template assigned to that
interface.
To change the template's configuration of the interface, provide new values by using the
command. The qbin is now "user configured" as opposed to "template configured". This information is
displayed on the
assigned to the interface, or whether the values have been changed to user-defined values.
To see the qbin's default service type and the qbin number, execute the dspsct command.
Use the following commands to configure qbins:

Enabling VSI ILMI Functionality for the PNNI Controller

You can enable VSI ILMI functionality both on line (port) interfaces and trunk interfaces when using
PNNI. Note that VSI ILMI functionality cannot be enabled on trunks to which feeders or VSI
controllers are attached.
To enable VSI ILMI functionality on line (port) interfaces:
Up a line interface by using the upln command
Step 1
Up the port interface by using the upport command.
Step 2
Configure the port to enable ILMI protocol and ensure that the protocol runs on the BXM card by
Step 3
enabling the "Protocol by the card" option of the cnfport command.
Configure a VSI partition on the line interface by using the cnfrsrc command.
Step 4
Step 5 Enable VSI ILMI functionality for the VSI partition by using the cnfvsipart command.
To enable VSI ILMI functionality on physical trunk interfaces:
Step 1 Up a physical trunk by using the uptrk command.
Step 2 Configure the trunk to enable ILMI protocol to run on the BXM card by enabling the "Protocol by the
card" option of the cnftrk command.
Step 3 Configure a VSI partition on the trunk interface by using the cnfrsrc command.
Step 4 Enable VSI ILMI session for the VSI partition by using the cnfvsipart command.
To enable VSI ILMI functionality on virtual trunk interfaces:
Step 1 Up a virtual trunk by using the uptrk command.
