Configuring PVCs
1.5.1 Creating a Through Path
To create a new through path, log in to AMI and enter the following parameters:
conf vpc new <iport> <ivpi> <oport> <ovpi> [-upc <index> ]
[-name <name> ]
The optional parameters for call records and VP shaping (using Series C network modules)
are as follows:
[-inctype (orig | tran | term) -outctype (orig | tran | term)
[pmp |mpp | mpmp]]\-shapeivpi <vpi> ]
These parameters are defined as follows:
Parameter Description
iport The incoming port number.
ivpi The incoming virtual path number.
oport The outgoing port number.
ovpi The outgoing virtual path number.
-upc <index> The integer index that refers to a specific UPC traffic contract. If no index is specified, then
no traffic policing will take place on this VPI. It is assigned a UPC index of 0, and all traffic
on this VPI is treated as UBR traffic. This is the default.
-name <name> The name you want to assign to this through path to help identify it uniquely. It is most
useful for billing purposes so you can identify which paths are being used by which cus-
tomers. Can be up to 32 ASCII characters long.
-inctype (orig | tran |term) The path connection type for the incoming path. For billing purposes, it denotes on which
switch this path is arriving.
Orig
(originating) means that the ingress endpoint of the path
is connected to the source node which is outside the network,
tran
(transit) means that
the ingress endpoint of the path is connected to a node within the network, and
term
(ter-
minating) means that the ingress endpoint of the path is connected to the destination node
which is outside the network.
-outctype(orig | tran |term) The path connection type for the outgoing path. For billing purposes, it denotes on which
switch this path is leaving.
Orig
(originating) means that the egress endpoint of the path
is connected to the source node which is outside the network,
tran
(transit) means that
the egress endpoint of the path is connected to a node within the network, and
term
(ter-
minating) means that the egress endpoint of the path is connected to the destination node
which is outside the network.
pmp
1
Indicates this is a point-to-multipoint path.
mpp Indicates this is a multipoint-to-point path.
mpmp Indicates this is a multipoint-to-multipoint path.
