Exporting ATM 1483 Subinterface Descriptions

To assign a description to an ATM 1483 subinterface and configure the router to send the ATM 1483 VC interface descriptions to the line module:

1. Configure a text description for ATM 1483 subinterfaces with the atm atm1483 description command. This description is included in the interface identifier that is sent to AAA.

   To configure this feature for ATM 1483 subinterfaces, enter this command in Profile Configuration mode. See Configuring ATM 1483 Dynamic Subinterfaces in Configuring Dynamic Interfaces Using Bulk Configuration.

   host1(config-subif)#atm atm1483 description VC_atm1

2. Set up the router to export ATM 1483 VC interface descriptions to the line module.

   host1(config)#atm atm1483 export-subinterface-description

3. (Optional) Display the configuration of the export ATM 1483 VC interface descriptions feature with the show atm atm1483 command.

   host1#show atm atm1483
   ATM1483 IF Descriptions exported 

4. (Optional) Display the interface descriptions with the show atm subinterface atm command.

atm atm1483 description

• Use to assign a text description or alias to an ATM 1483 subinterface.
• The description can be a maximum of 255 characters.
• Example

  host1(config-subif)#atm atm1483 description nyc33

• Use the no version to remove the text description or alias.
• See atm atm1483 description.

atm atm1483 export-subinterface-description

• Use to export ATM 1483 VC interface descriptions to the line module. Descriptions for ATM 1483 subinterfaces are configured with the atm atm1483 description command.
• The description can have up to 255 characters; however, when the description is sent to the line module, it is truncated to 32 characters.
• Example

  host1(config)#atm atm1483 export-subinterface-description

• Use the no version to restore the default behavior, in which ATM 1483 interface descriptions are not exported to the line module.
• See atm atm1483 export-subinterface-description.

atm vp-description

• Use to assign a text description to an individual VP on an ATM interface or subinterface.
• You must specify the VPI of the VP to which you want to assign the description.
• The description string can be a maximum of 32 characters.
• The VP description is stored in NVS and persists after a reboot.
• Use the show atm vp-description command to display the text description.
• Example

  host1(config-if)#atm vp-description 2 vpi2Subscribers

• Use the no version to restore the default value, a null string.
• See atm vp-description.
