PVC Addendum to the 9A686-04/9A656-04 Configuration Guide

In this example, the ILMI Configuration screen is used to set the following parameters:
•
MIN SVCC VCI field is set to 400.
•
MIN CTM SVCC VCI field is set to 32
•
MAX SVCC VPI field is set to 0.
•
MAX SVPC VPI field is set to 0.
With this configuration entered and saved, the SmartSwitch 9500 reserves VCI values 33 through 400,
with the VPI value of 0 for PVCs. PVCs may also be created with a VCI range of 33 through 64k on VPIs
greater than 0, up to 4k. SVCs may only be created on VPI 0 with a VCI of 401 through 64k.
Once these values are set, determine which interfaces will share the PVC, and the VPI/VCI values that
will be assigned to this PVC. In this example, the PVC will be between interface numbers 30301 (Port 1
of ANIM 3 of the 9A686-04 installed in slot 3) and 30302 (Port 2 of ANIM 3 of the 9A686-04 installed in
slot 3). The VPI value will be 11, and the VCI value will be 113.
Step 2. Determine whether the PVC will support Persistence.
The procedures described in this document, by default, create permanent configurations for the interface
on which they were performed. These configurable options are performed on an interface by interface
basis via the AToM MIB. Before performing any of these configurations, be aware that the only way to
revert these settings to the factory default settings is to clear NVRAM. Instructions on how to clear
NVRAM can be found in the
9A686-04 Hardware and Installation Guide
and the
9A656-04 Hardware
and Installation Guide. Pressing the RESET button on the front of the module will NOT restore factory
default settings after they have been changed.
If the user desires to have the PVC NOT support persistence, persistence may be turned off via the SPVC
Destination Creation screen. Refer to
Figure 6
.
NOTE
For additional information on the ILMI Configuration Menu screen of the 9A686-04 and
9A656-04, refer back to page 2.
The VCI values 0 through 32 are reserved by the ATM Forum.
