Chapter 23 Configuring BXM Virtual Switch Interfaces
VSI Configuration Procedures
Note that addshelf and addtrk are mutually exclusive commands; that is, you can use either addshelf
or addtrk, but not both on the same interface shelf.
To add a PNNI controller, use the following commands:
Step 1 Up a trunk interface by using the uptrk command.
Step 2 Configure resource on the trunk interface for the PNNI controller's control channels by using the
cnfrsrc command.
Step 3 Add the SES PNNI to the BPX and enable AnnexG protocol to run between the BPX and the SES by
using the
addshelf command with feeder type set to "X".
Step 4 Enable the VSI capabilities on the trunk interface by using the addctrlr command.
Viewing Controllers and Interfaces
Display commands such as dspnw and dspnode show interface shelves.
To view conditions on an interface shelf (feeder) trunk, use:
• dspnode
Identifies the hub and interface shelf (feeder) nodes and shows the alarm status.
To view conditions of VSI controllers, use:
• dspctrlrs
Displays all VSI controllers attached to the BPX. These controllers could be either a PNNI
controller or an MPLS controller.
The designation for a MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) Controller serving as an interface shelf
is LSC.
Deleting a Controller
To delete a controller or interface (feeder) shelf, first delete it from the network. Then down the port
and trunk. This applies to MPLS controllers or generic VSI controllers that do not need AnnexG
protocols.
To delete a MPLS controller:
Step 1 Delete a MPLS controller from a BPX node by using the delshelf command.
Step 2 Down the port by using the dnport command.
Step 3 Down the trunk by using the dntrk command.
To delete a PNNI controller:
Step 1 Delete the VSI capabilities on the trunk interface by using the delctrlr command.
