New Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(16)MR2
With Cisco IOS Release 12.4(16)MR2, the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router supports the following
feature:
• Keyword ignore-vpi-vci Added to xconnect Command, page 1-13
Keyword ignore-vpi-vci Added to xconnect Command
With the ignore-vpi-vci keyword configured, the MWR ignores the VPI/VCI value in the PW packet and
does a blind rewrite with the local configured AC-side PVC's VPI/VCI value. This applies only when
the xconnect command is configured under the PVC, which is the N:1 with N=1 special case. It does not
apply when the xconnect command is configured under the subinterface, which supports N>1.
The xconnect command with keyword ignore-vpi-vci results in the PVC mapping being done in a
cooperative way if the MWR works the same way as the receiving router. Without this command, the
MWR checks the VPI/VCI value inside PW packet for matches against the local configured PVC or
PVC-mapping. With the ignore-vpi-vci keyword configured, the MWR ignores the VPI/VCI header
inside the received PW packet and does a blind rewrite with the local configured AC-side PVC's
VPI/VCI value.
