Configuring Communication with the ILMI
In an SVC environment, you must configure a PVC for communication with ILMI so that the router can
receive simple network management protocol (SNMP) traps and new network prefixes. The
recommended vpi and vci values for the ILMI PVC are 0 and 16, respectively. To configure ILMI
communication, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Note
This ILMI PVC can be set up only on an ATM main interface, not on ATM subinterfaces.
Once you have configured an ILMI PVC, you can optionally enable the ILMI keepalive function by using
the following command in interface configuration mode:
No other configuration steps are required.
ILMI address registration for receipt of SNMP traps and new network prefixes is enabled by default. The
ILMI keepalive function is disabled by default; when enabled, the default interval between keepalives is
3 seconds.
