1. Use the set portconfig command to turn signaling off on physical port 7a1:
Smart6500 # set portconfig
PortNumber() : 7a1
PortAdminStatus(up) :
IlmiAdminStatus(up) :
SigType(autoConfig) : nnipvc
< Turn off signaling by setting SigType to
nnipvc
SigRole(network) :
InterfaceType(private) :
MaxVpiBits(0) :
< Default MaxVpiBits = 0
MaxVciBits(13) :
< Default MaxVciBits = 13
MaxSvcVpci(0) :
MinSvcVci(32) :
MaxVccs(8192) :
MaxSvpVpci(0) :
MaxVpcs(0) :
Smart6500 #
2. Use the set portconfig command to assign two bits to MaxVpiBits.:
Smart6500 # set portconfig
PortNumber() : 7a1
PortAdminStatus(up) :
IlmiAdminStatus(up) :
SigType(nniPvc) :
SigRole(network) :
InterfaceType(private) :
MaxVpiBits(0) : 1
< Set to 1 — this translates to VPIs = 2
1
-1 = 1
MaxVciBits(12) :
< Notice that MaxVciBits has reduced itself by 1 bit
MaxSvcVpci(7) :
MinSvcVci(32) :
MaxVccs(8192) :
MaxSvpVpci(7) :
MaxVpcs(7) :
Smart6500 #
Note The command set portconfig is used here twice for the purposes of clarity only.
Normally, you would turn off signaling and set the
MaxVpiBits within the same
instance of set portconfig.
