There are five dialogs for IMA port configuration on an AUSMB Card.
Use the Logical Port Configuration (Forum Compliant IMA Groups) dialog to view and configure IMA logical ports. (See Figure 2-18.)

The Logical Port Configuration (Forum Compliant IMA Groups) parameters are described in Table 2-18.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
IMAPort Num | Logical port number. |
IMAPort State | IMA port state. |
IMAPort Enable | Enables, disables or modifies the configuration of the port. Choose one from the popup menu: delportDisables the entire IMA group. addportEnables the IMA group. addlinksAdds links to an existing IMA group. Use this selection to increase the bandwidth. dellinksDeletes links from an existing IMA group. Use this selection to decrease the bandwidth. modifyModifies parameters, other than links in an existing IMA group. An IMA group is synonymous with an IMA port. To configure an IMA port, the different lines in the IMA port should be enabled and then the IMA port should be added. |
IMAPort Speed (Cells per Sec) | Speed of the port in cells per second. This depends on the number of links in the IMA group and the configuration of the physical interface on each link. |
Num Links In Group | Number of links configured in the IMA group. |
List of Links in Group | List of links in the IMA group delimited by dots. |
Period LCP Cells Tx (Cells) | Period at which LCP cells of the IMA protocol can be transmitted. A value of 32 indicates that after 32 cells, one LCP cell is transmitted on that link of the IMA group. Currently, the only value supported is 128. |
Max. Tolerable Diff. Delay | Indicates the maximum tolerable differential delay in milliseconds between the various links in the IMA group. |
IMA Port Type | Indicates whether the port is to be configured for UNI/NNI/STI mode. STI mode is supported only in the case of IMATM. vpTrkUni should be used only in IMATM when virtual trunks are passing through IMATM (in other words, when the cell format is UNI but ForeSight information is carried in the lower 16 bits). Choose one from the popup menu:
|
axisImaGroupTxAvailCellRate | Current cell rate (truncated value in cells per second) provided by the IMA group in the transmit direction, considering all the transmit links in the Active state.
|
axisImaGroupSymmetry | Symmetry of the IMA group. Choose one from the popup menu:
|
axisImaGroupMinNumRxLinks | Minimum number of receive links required to be active for the IMA group to be in the Up state. At present since only symmetric configuration is supported, this should be equal to axisImaGroupMinNumTxLinks. |
axisImaGroupNeTxClkMode | Transmit clocking mode used by the near-end IMA group. Choose one from the popup menu:
|
axisImaGroupNumRxCfgLnks | Number of links that are configured to receive in this IMA Group. |
axisImaGroupTestLinkIfIndex | Designate an interface as the test link. A value of -1 specifies that the implementation may choose the test link. In this case,the implementation may also choose the value of axisImaGroupTestPattern. |
axisImaGroupTestPattern | Specifies the test pattern in an IMA group loopback operation. A value in the range 0 to 255 designates a specific pattern. A value of -1 specifies that the implementation may choose the value. In this case, the implementation may also choose the value of axisImaGroupTestLinkIfIndex. |
axisImaGroupTestProcStatus | Used to enable or disable the Test Pattern Procedure and notes. The test is started by setting operating status. If any link should fail the test, the IMA will set the status to linkfail. The linkfail state will persist until either the disabled state is set or until no instance of imaLinkTestProcStatus has the value linkfail. |
axisImaGroupIntegrationUpTime | Integration UP time in milliseconds for alarm integration. |
axisImaGroupIntegrationDownTime | Integration DOWN time milliseconds for alarm integration. |
axisImaGroupMinNumTxLinks | Minimum number of transmit links required to be active for the IMA group to be in the Up state. Even though the range is 1..8, this value should be equal to the maximum number of configured links in IMA group. |
Use the Logical Port State Config (Forum Compliant IMA Groups) dialog to view and configure IMA compliant logical port state information. (See Figure 2-19.)

The Logical Port State Config (Forum Compliant IMA Groups) dialog parameters are described in Table 2-19.
