Configuring Frame Relay 8-9
PVC Parameters
Explanations follow the table. Note that parameters labeled in a record as Primary or
Secondary identify each end of the connection. (It does not matter which end is
which.)
Bandw. Alloc. Group
is a method of prioritizing outgoing traffic over the trunk. Each IP and IPX network
interface, SVC Subscriber, and PVC is assigned to a trunk allocation group defined by
a
Percent of Bandwidth value ( 1–100 ) and a Priority ( 0–9 ) specified in the Network
Defaults file. (See " Bandwidth Allocation Groups for Trunks " on page 4-8.)
Primary/Secondary Name
identifies each end of the connection to the console operator. The FRX8000 software
does not use this information.
Primary/Secondary DLCI
is the Data Link Connection Identifier for each end of the connection. The DLCI is a
routing ID that assigns a frame to a particular logical connection. The ID is used only
locally, and can be different at each end of the PVC.
Creating/Deleting a PVC On Line
You can create a temporary PVC, then delete it later. (Deleting a PVC will break the
connection, but the DLCIs will remain dedicated to the PVC until the next IPL of the
nodes at both ends.)
