You can configure the following protocols on spare interfaces, but you cannot
activate them on the network using the activate command:
v IPv6
v LNM
v OSI/DECnet V
v XTP
Note: When using the configuration program, use the following to work with spare
interfaces:
1. Make the configuration changes for the spare interface on the device
2. Enter the activate command on the device to bring the spare interface,
protocols, and features online
3. Retrieve the configuration using the configuration program
4. Save the retrieved configuration into the configuration program database
There are requirements for certain functions. These are:
APPN To activate this protocol on a spare interface, you must first activate the
interface and then configure the protocol on the activated interface.
Bandwidth
Reservation
(BRS)
To configure BRS on a spare interface, you must enable BRS on each
network interface where Frame Relay circuits will be active before activating
the spare interface. After activating the spare interface, you can then use
BRS configuration commands to make changes such as adding a traffic
class or assigning a protocol to a traffic class.
DECnet IV To activate this protocol on a spare interface, you must first activate the
interface and then configure the protocol on the activated interface. Use the
DECnet IV set command to activate the configuration changes.
Frame Relay
v You cannot activate an FR dial circuit interface unless the dial circuit’s
base net is already active.
v An activate for an FR dial circuit will fail if the frame size, MAC header, or
trailer required by the spare interface is larger than other dial circuits
already assigned to the base net.
v If data compression is not already active in the device, data compression
will not work on a spare interface defined for data compression.
BGP Use the BGP reset neighbor command to activate new neighbors.
IPX Use the reset command to activate static routes, static services, and filter
lists on the spare interface.
PPP
v If data compression is not already active in the device, data compression
does not work on a spare interface defined for data compression.
v You cannot activate a spare PPP interface if the device’s global buffer is
too small to support a 1500-byte PPP MRU.
v You cannot activate a PPP dial circuit interface unless the dial circuit’s
base net is already active.
v An activate for a PPP dial circuit will fail if the frame size, MAC header,
or trailer required by the spare interface is larger than other dial circuits
already assigned to the base net.
