BPX PNNI Trunk Configuration Quickstart
When the Cisco SES PNNI controller is attached to a Cisco BPX switch, the BPX switch can participate
in a PNNI network with Cisco MGX switches. The connection between an Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E)
switch and a BPX switch is a trunk between a PXM1E card in the MGX switch and a BXM card in the
BPX. For instructions on configuring the BXM end of the trunk, refer to the Cisco SES product
documentation. This section describes how to configure the PXM1E end of the trunk.
The procedure for configuring the PXM1E end of the trunk is similar to the general procedure for
configuring PXM1E trunks. The following quickstart procedure is customized for setting up BPX PNNI
trunks.
Note
The trunk configuration is not complete until the BXM end of the trunk is configured.
Caution
You need to allocate PNNI resources before you can configure a BPX PNNI trunk. To verify that the
PNNI resource has been allocated on the trunk, enter the dsprsrc <slot.port> command.

Configure the virtual trunk signaling at each core edge node. Select no
trunk signaling by setting the -univer option to none.
See the “
Selecting the Port Signaling Protocol
” section later in this
chapter.
Step 9

For each virtual trunk, configure an SPVP between the virtual trunk ports
at each edge of the core network. See the “
” section in this chapter.
Step 10
dsppnni-reachable-
addr network
Verify PNNI connectivity between the two nodes that will host the virtual
trunk endpoints.
