Hierarchy Level

Description

For ATM interfaces with atm-ccc-cell-relay encapsulation, map all incoming cells from either an interface port or a virtual path (VP) to a single LSP without restricting the VCI number. Promiscuous mode allows you to map traffic from all 65,535 VCIs to a single LSP, or from all 256 VPIs to a single LSP.

For multiport PICs, all ports must be configured in either promiscuous mode or non-promiscuous mode. When in promiscuous mode, all ports must also be configured with atm-ccc-cell-relay encapsulation.

For ATM 2 interfaces, changing modes between promiscuous and non-promiscuous causes all physical interfaces to be deleted and then re-added.

When interfaces are configured in promiscuous mode, you cannot configure VCIs.

Options

vpi-identifier—Open this VPI in promiscuous mode.
Range: 0 through 255
