Using Management VPI/VCI
You use a management VPI/VCI when the NMS connects to the gateway switch via an
ATM router or ATM NIC. The NMS accesses the gateway switch through this
connection. This method of access enables you to monitor the network without the use
of an Ethernet module in the switch.
Before you configure a management PVC, do the following:
1. Select the switch for which you want to configure the ATM UNI or NNI logical
port endpoint and define the physical port attributes. See the Switch Module
Configuration Guide
for CBX 3500, CBX 500, GX 550, and B-STDX 9000 for more
information.
2. Define an ATM UNI or NNI logical port. See “Working With ATM Logical Ports”
on page 3-2 for more information.
Defining the Management VPI/VCI Connection
1. For an LPort for which you want to add a Management VPI/VCI, expand the
LPort instance node.
The Mgmt VPI/VCI class node appears under the LPort instance node.
2. Right-click on the Mgmt VPI/VCI class node and select Add from the pop-up
menu.
The Add Management VPI/VCI dialog box appears (Figure 11-3).

3. Complete the Add Management VPI/VCI dialog box fields as described in
Table 11-3.
Note – Management VPI/VCIs are not supported on the CBX 3500 switch.
