Configuring ILMI Automatic Configuration
The MGX 8850 (PXM1E) and MGX 8830 switches support the automatic configuration feature of ILMI
4.0, which allows two devices that share a link to share their configurations and negotiate a common set
of communication parameters. For example, if two network devices share a link and are configured for
different maximum VCIs on a partition, the automatic configuration feature can determine and select the
highest common VCI supported by both nodes. To use ILMI automatic configuration, the devices at each
end of the link must support this ILMI 4.0 feature.
To enable or disable automatic configuration on a port, enter the cnfautocnf command as described in
the following procedure.
Note A link between two nodes will not operate correctly if the ILMI automatic configuration feature is
enabled at one end and disabled at the other.
vci ILMI signaling VCI. If you need to change the default, enter a VCI number in
the range of 0 to 65535. Note that changing this value disables ILMI
communications until the device at the remote end of the line has been
configured for the same ILMI VCI.
Default = 16.
ilmiTrapEnable ILMI trap distribution. When ILMI is started on a port, ILMI traps are sent to
SNMP managers such as CWM.
To enable or disable the distribution of ILMI traps, enter 1 to enable ILMI traps
or 2 to disable ILMI traps.
Default = 1 (enable).
keepAliveInt ILMI keep alive timer.
Range: 1to255.
Default = 1.
pollingIntervalT491 ILMI polling interval T491 timer.
Range: 0to255.
Default = 5.
Note 0 = no polling
pollInctFact ILMI polling factor K.
Range: 0to65535.
