define pvp on atm interface (7206)

[m.sgalaberni]

Hi,

I'm tring to define a pvp on a ATM interface (of a 7206 router) that already have VCs configured for that VPI.

Example:

interface ATM1/0
no ip address
no atm ilmi-keepalive
end

interface ATM1/0.10101 point-to-point
pvc 10/101
etc...

I want to define a "atm pvp 10 xxx" on the ATM1/0 but the command is refused as the VPI is already in use ...

Seems that the only way to apply that command now is deconfiguring all subinterfaces that use that VPI, apply the "atm pvp ..." and reapply the original fragment of configuration for restore all the subinterfaces.

I searched a while to find a solution for do this without de-configuring and re-configuring all these subinterfaces but I have not found solutions...I wonder to minimize the downtime and accademically know this...

Can some experts confirm me this?

Thanks!

Matteo

Hello,

indeed, you will not be able to create the PVP if there are already PVCs with that particular VPI. That is due to the fact the SAR has to be programmed with the VP and subsequent VCs in that VP (as all VCs are linked in the SAR to that VP). There is unfortunately no workaround to this situation.
