For efficient router operation, frees the virtual access interface memory for another dial-in use when the call from the user ends. PPP over ATM Virtual templates are supported on all platforms that support these features. To create and configure a virtual template interface, compete the tasks in this chapter. To apply a virtual template interface, refer to the specific feature that applies the virtual template interface. All prerequisites depend on the feature that is applying a virtual template interface to create a virtual access interface.
Virtual template interfaces themselves have no other prerequisites.
The order in which you create virtual template interfaces and virtual profiles, and configure the features that use the templates and profiles, is not important. They must exist, however, before someone calling in can use them. Selective Virtual Access Interface Creation Optionally, you can configure a router to automatically determine whether to create a virtual access interface for each inbound connection. In particular, a call that is received on a physical asynchronous interface that uses a AAA per-user configuration can now be processed without a virtual access interface being created by a router that is also configured for virtual profiles. Command Purpose Step 1 interface virtual-template number Creates a virtual template Interface, and enter interface configuration mode.
