Enabling and Disabling ILMI on a Port

The Cisco MGX 8850 and Cisco MGX 8950 switches provide several commands that you can use to

enable or disable ILMI on a port. For instructions on enabling or disabling ILMI from an AXSM card

prompt, see the “Configuring ILMI on a Port” section in Chapter 6, “Provisioning AXSM

Communication Links.” To enable or disable ILMI from the PXM45 prompt, use the following

procedure.

Step 1 Establish a configuration session using a user name with GROUP1 privileges or higher.

Step 2 To display a list of ports and view the current ILMI status of each, enter the dsppnports command.

To enable or disable ILMI on a port, enter the cnfilmienable command as follows:

popeye2.1.7pxm.a>cnfilmienable <portid> <no | yes>

Replace portid using the format slot:bay.line:ifNum. Table 7-1 describes these parameters.

Enter yes to enable ILMI on the port, or enter no to disable ILMI.

Step 3 To verify the ILMI status change, re-enter the dsppnports command.
