Syntax Description
interface
An alphanumeric string that identifies the interface type. The choices are:
lnPci0 for Ethernet (the default on power-up)
atm0 for the ATM.
sl0 for SLIP
Enter the entire keyword.Where appropriate, each subsequent parameter
description identifies characteristics that depend on the type of interface.
router | local
Specifies whether the AESA corresponds to a router or the local PXM45. Both
router and local ends should be configured. Configure the local end first, then
execute pvcifconfig to specify the router end.
You must enter the entirety of one of these keywords. The AESA is an NSAP
address used by the router or the local PXM45.
pvc_address
The VPI and VCI of the PVC. The format is vpi.vci.
[atmarp | noatmarp]
(Optional) Enables or disables ATMARP on a PVC—if the connected router
supports ATMARP. Furthermore, it applies to only the ATM End Station
Address (AESA) configuration at the router’s interface. (See ipifconfig
description.)
llcencap | vcmux
Applies to the router link only. This parameter specifies encapsulation. The
choice primarily depends on whether the router supports LLC Snap
encapsulation (llcsnap). The alternative is VC-based multiplexing (vcmux).
default | nodefault
(Optional) Specifies whether this PVC is the default route on the interface.
