NMC-RX 7.3.x User Guide, Vol. 2 > Configuring Bulk Services > Overview

Overview

The NMC-RX bulk services capability allows you to configure multiple instances of the components that make up the IP over ATM service from a single access point. However, if you configure each individual component separately, you need to navigate through multiple access points.

You can choose to create bulk services on an ATM subinterface or on a nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) interface.

If you choose the ATM subinterface path, you can create the following service types:

• ATM
• Bridged 1483/ATM
• PPP/ATM
• PPPoE/ATM

If you choose the NBMA interface path, you can create only the IP over ATM service. (See Figure 9.)

The bulk services suite allows you to provision sets of components and provides the following enhancements to the NMC-RX application:

• Naming—You can enter the name for the service once, and it will be propagated to all components in the service. This effectively generates each component's logical name.
• Required fields—Each component's required fields are highlighted in blue. This clearly identifies which parameters must be set.
