Configuring a Point-to-Point ATM1 or ATM2 IQ Connection
When you use ATM encapsulation on an interface, you must map each logical interface to a VCI. You can optionally map logical interfaces to a VPI.
For ATM1 and ATM2 IQ interfaces, you can configure a VCI and a VPI on a point-to-point ATM interface by including the vci statement:
You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:
- [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number]
- [edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number]
For each VCI, configure the VCI and VPI identifiers. The default VPI identifier is 0. For ATM1 interfaces, the VCI identifier cannot exceed the highest-numbered VC configured for the interface with the vpi statement, as described in Configuring the Maximum Number of ATM1 VCs on a VP.
VCIs 0 through 31 are reserved for specific ATM values designated by the ATM Forum.
ATM2 IQ interfaces support only one invalid VC counter for all ports. The invalid VC counter is recorded at port 0 only.
When you are configuring point-to-point connections, the maximum transmission unit (MTU) sizes on both sides of the connections must be the same.
