Configuring ANCP

ANCP uses several global-level configuration commands to enable ANCP to function on the router.

Creating a Listening TCP Socket for ANCP

Use the l2c ip listen command to create a listening TCP socket for ANCP. ANCP monitors port 6068 for ANCP TCP connection requests.

l2c ip listen

• Use to create a listening TCP socket in the current virtual router context.
• Example

host1(config)#l2c ip listen

• Use the no version to remove the listening TCP socket and stop any new sessions from being established. The no version does not terminate any existing GSMP sessions.

Accessing L2C Configuration Mode for ANCP

Use the l2c command to launch the L2C Configuration (config-l2c) mode for ANCP. In this mode, you can define session timeout values and access the L2C Neighbor Configuration mode to configure an ANCP neighbor.

l2c

• Use to launch the L2C Configuration (config-l2c) mode for ANCP.
• Example

host1(config)#l2c

host1(config-l2c)#

• Use the no version to remove all ANCP configurations.

Defining the ANCP Session Timeout

In L2C Configuration (config-l2c) mode, you can use the session-timeout command to specify the ANCP session timeout value. The timer range is 1–25 seconds with a default value of 25 seconds.

session-timeout

• Use to define the ANCP session timeout value (in seconds).
• Example

host1(config-l2c)#session-timeout 10

• Use the no version to revert the session timeout to its default setting, 25 seconds.
