uni count

Use the uni count EVC configuration command to set the user-network interface (UNI) count for an

Ethernet virtual connection (EVC). Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

This command is available only if your switch is running the metro IP access or metro access image.

Syntax Description

The default UNI count is 2. The default service, if you do not enter a UNI count, is point-to-multipoint.

Usage Guidelines

The UNI count determines the type of service in the EVC.

You should know the correct number of maintenance end points (MEPs) in the domain. If you enter a

UNI count value greater than the actual number of endpoints, the UNI status shows as partially active

even if all endpoints are up. If you enter a UNI count less than the actual number of endpoints, UNI status

shows as active, even if all endpoints are not up.

Configuring a UNI count does not prevent you from configuring more endpoints than the configured

count. For example, if you configure a UNI count of five, but you create ten MEPs, any five MEPs in the

domain can go down without the status changing to Partially Active.

Set the number of UNIs in the EVC. The range is from 1 to 1024. The default is 2.

(Optional) Select point-to-multipoint service. This keyword is visible only when

you enter a uni count value of 2.

If you do not enter a value or if you enter 1 or 2, the service defaults to

point-to-point service. If you enter 2, you can configure point-to-multipoint

If you enter a uni count value of 3 or greater, the service is

point-to-multipoint.

Modification

This command was introduced.

If the command is not entered, the UNI count defaults to 2 and the service defaults to point-to-point

If you manually enter a value of 2, you can leave the service at the default or can configure

point-to-multipoint service by entering the multipoint keyword.

If you enter a value of 3 or greater, the service is point-to-multipoint.
