Verifying that the UNI is operational

Checking whether the UNI is operational

Your storage system ATM address is automatically registered with the switch; therefore, you use the uniconfig command only to display configuration parameters, check the UNI version number, and ensure that the UNI is operational.

To check whether the UNI is operational, complete the following step.

Step	Action
1	Enter the following command: *atm uniconfig show [-unit unit_name]* unit_name is the UNI you want to check. Note If you do not specify the unit number, the UNI information for all ATM adapters in your storage system is displayed.

Example of the atm uniconfig show command

Abbreviated sample output from the atm uniconfig show command is as follows:

atm uniconfig show -unit unit3

UNI parameters for unit3

=========================

VPI/VCI                 : 0/5

AAL type                : 5

QoS                     : UBR

UNI configured version  : 3.1

UNI operating version   : 3.1

SSCOP operational state : operational

Primary ATM address     : 
47.0005.80.ffe100.0000.f21a.4d19.002048401de3.00

UNI failover configuration

==========================

Status: dynamic

Groups: (0) (1*) (2)

Interpreting the output

The following items should enable you to verify that the ATM interface is operational:

The UNI configured version and UNI operating version values should be 3.1.
The SSCOP operational state should indicate that the UNI is operational. If you see inoperational instead, the ATM card is improperly connected to the network or the switch is improperly configured.
The Primary ATM address should be a valid ATM address for your network. If you see an address consisting entirely of zeros, the ATM card is improperly connected to the network or there might be a configuration problem.
