Configuring ATM PVCs
Manually Defining the Circuit Path
Manually Defining the Circuit Path
The Path tab in the Add/Modify PVC dialog box enables you to manually define a
circuit path and the OSPF algorithm’s circuit routing decisions.
The circuit may cross PNNI peer groups, PNNI-VNN boundaries, VNN Areas, and
Non-Lucent Networks (PNNI). If the alternate path option is defined, and a circuit
failure occurs in the manually defined circuit path, the circuit can be routed based on
VNN or PNNI information provided.
To manually define the circuit path:
1. Add a new PVC, or modify an existing PVC, using the instructions in “Defining a
Point-to-Point Circuit Connection” on page 10-13 .
2. In the Add/Modify PVC dialog box, select the Path tab, as shown in Figure 10-15 .
Figure 10-15. Add PVC: Path Tab
Note – You cannot manually route a circuit that is configured with both endpoints in
the same switch. You cannot manually define a circuit path for a redirect PVC.
