AMI Configuration Commands
B.15.1.2 Changing the ForeThought PNNI Border Switch Functionality
A switch that has a link to another switch that belonging to a different peer-
group is considered a border switch. A border switch advertises reachability
to its peergroup to switches outside of its peergroup, but it does not share its
peergroup’s topology with the other switches. You should enable border
switch functionality on all switches that are on the outside edges of all of the
peergroups that you have established. This command lets the user designate
whether or not this switch will act as a ForeThought PNNI border switch.
Enter the following parameters:
localhost::configuration topology forepnni>
border (enable | disable)
enable|disable Entering
enable
(and rebooting) means that this
switch will act as a ForeThought PNNI border switch.
Entering
disable
(and rebooting) means that this
switch will not act as a ForeThought PNNI border
switch.
NOTE:
The switch software must be restarted for this
command to take effect. Therefore, you must
be in a local AMI session to perform this com-
mand.
