Managing ILMI
The following sections describe how to
• Enable and disable the integrated local management interface (ILMI) feature on a port
• Display ILMI port configuration data
• Display and clear ILMI management statistics
• Delete ILMI prefixes
Enabling and Disabling ILMI on a Port
The Cisco MGX switches provide several commands that you can use to enable or disable ILMI on a
port. For instructions on enabling or disabling ILMI from a PXM1E card, see the “Configuring ILMI on
a Port” section in Chapter 3, “Provisioning PXM1E Communication Links.” For instructions on
enabling or disabling ILMI from a AXSM card, see refer to the Cisco ATM Services (AXSM)
Configuration Guide and Command Reference for MGX Switches, Release 5.
To enable or disable ILMI from the PXM 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:
mgx8830a.1.PXM.a >cnfilmienable <portid> <no | yes>
Replace portid using the format slot:bay.line:ifNum. Table 9-1 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.
Table 9-1 Port Identification Parameters
Parameter Description

bay Replace bay with 1 if the line is connected to a back card in the upper bay, or replace it
with 2 if the line is connected to a back card in the lower bay.
The bay number is always 2 for a PXM1E, and 1 for an AXSM-1-2488 or
MPSM-T3E3-155.
line Replace line with the number that corresponds to the back card port to which the line is
connected.
ifNum An ATM port is also called an interface. Enter a number from 1 to 31 to identify this
interface. The interface number must be unique on the card to which it is assigned.
Interface numbers are assigned with the addport command.
