Configuring ATM PVCs
About the PVC Tabs
Management Circuit
If you select this check box, this PVC configuration will be
included in the NMS initialization script file. This file contains all
the SNMP set requests necessary to replicate the entire switch
configuration. Once you download the configuration file to the
switch, the PVC can be used to establish NMS-to-switch
connectivity. The Management Circuit field is especially useful in
some Management configurations.
Clear the check box to disable the management circuit feature
(default).
For more information about MPVCs, see
“Configuring Management Paths.”
Is Template
(Optional)
You can save these settings as a template to configure another
PVC with similar options. To create a template, select the check
box in the Template field. Clear the check box to disable
(default). See
“Using Templates to Define Circuits” on
for more information.
Note: You create templates for standard PVCs and redirect PVCs
in the same way. However, the template lists for redirect and
traditional PVCs are maintained separately.
Admin Cost
Threshold
This feature determines the path of the PVC, depending on the
administrative cost threshold that you specify.
Enabled – If you select the Enable check box, the PVC will not
be routed over a path whose total administrative cost exceeds the
entered value. This means that if you enable this field and enter a
value of 1000 in the Value field, the PVC will not be routed over a
path whose total admin cost exceeds 1000. The NMS calculates
the total admin cost for a path by using the sum of the admin cost
for each trunk in the path. The valid range for this field is 1 –
4294967295.
Disabled – (default) If you clear the Enable check box, this field
is disabled.
Note: Do not use this option if you use End-to-End Delay routing.
For more information, see the next section
Thresholds Interact With LPort Routing Metrics.”
