Command Modes
EVC configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The UNI count determines the type of service in the EVC.
•
If the command is not entered, the UNI count defaults to 2 and the service defaults to point-to-point
service.
•
If you manually enter a value of 2, you can leave the service at the default or can configure
point-to-multipoint service by entering the
multipoint
keyword.
•
If you enter a value of 3 or greater, the service is point-to-multipoint.
You should know the correct number of maintenance end points (MEPs) in the domain. If you enter a
UNI count value greater than the actual number of endpoints, the UNI status shows as partially active
even if all endpoints are up. If you enter a UNI count less than the actual number of endpoints, UNI status
shows as active, even if all endpoints are not up.
Caution
Configuring a UNI count does not prevent you from configuring more endpoints than the configured
count. For example, if you configure a UNI count of five, but you create ten MEPs, any five MEPs in the
domain can go down without the status changing to Partially Active.
value
Set the number of UNIs in the EVC. The range is from 1 to 1024. The default is 2.
multipoint
(Optional) Select point-to-multipoint service. This keyword is visible only when
you enter a
uni count
value of 2.
•
If you do not enter a value or if you enter 1 or 2, the service defaults to
point-to-point service. If you enter 2, you can configure point-to-multipoint
service.
•
If you enter a
uni count
value of 3 or greater, the service is
point-to-multipoint.
