Configuring Virtual ATM UNI/NNI Logical Ports
You can create a virtual ATM UNI DCE/DTE or ATM NNI logical port on any 
physical port on which you have already defined a direct UNI logical port.
To add a virtual ATM UNI/NNI logical port:
1. Complete the steps in “Working With ATM Logical Ports” on page 3-2. Make 
sure you access a physical port on which you have already defined a UNI logical 
port.
2. Choose Add to define a new logical port. The Add Logical Port dialog box 
(Figure 3-5 on page 3-8) appears.
3. Select the LPort Type, either ATM UNI DCE, ATM UNI DTE, or ATM NNI.
4. Continue with the instructions beginning with “General Attributes” on page 3-16 
to configure attributes for this virtual UNI/NNI logical port.
Note  – The maximum number of virtual UNI logical ports per physical port can be 
verified by using the show pram <card #> command at the switch console. Note that 
one logical port is reserved for each physical port. For example, a 4-Port OC-3c card 
supports a maximum of 120 lports, but since four (one per physical port) are reserved, 
there are 116 configurable logical ports.
If you need to configure an ATM Virtual NNI logical port using PNNI 1.0 routing, see 
Chapter 21.
Note  – For additional information on configuring VP shaping on virtual ATM UNI 
logical ports, see “ILMI/OAM Attributes” on page 3-34.
