Table 10-3.
Add PVC: Administrative Tab Fields
Field
Action/Description
Circuit Name
Enter a unique, alphanumeric name to identify the circuit. Do not
use parentheses and asterisks. This name must be unique to the
entire map.
Circuit Alias Name
(Optional) The circuit alias is used by service providers to
identify the circuit in a way that is meaningful to their customers.
This option is often used in conjunction with NavisXtend Report
Generator.
Enter any unique, alphanumeric name to identify the circuit. Do
not use parentheses and asterisks. This name must be unique to
the entire map. The default is the circuit name.
Enable PWE3
Signalling
Check this box to enable PWE3 signalling on this circuit. The
Pwe3 tab will be available only if this box is checked.
Admin Status
Select Up (default) to activate the circuit at switch startup, or
Down if you do not want to activate the circuit at switch startup.
Circuit Type
Specify whether the circuit is a VPC or VCC (the default).
If you select VPC, the VCI field is set to zero (0) and cannot be
changed. A VPC enables a network that interfaces with an
OPTimum trunk to accept circuits with this VPI and any of its
valid VCIs.
Endpoint 1 and
Endpoint 2
Connection ID
Enter a unique VCI and VPI for each endpoint.
VCI – Depending on the circuit configuration, enter a value to
represent the VCI for an ATM PVC. Although you can configure
VCIs in the 1 – 31 range (with the exception of VCI=4), the ATM
Forum reserves VCIs in this range for various purposes. You
should only use a VCI in the 1 – 31 range if you are certain that
compatibility issues will not arise with any attached non-Lucent
equipment.
VPI – Enter a value from zero (0)-nnnn to represent the VPI for
the PVC. The maximum value you can enter is based on the valid
bits in VPI that are configured for the logical port.
DLCI – If the endpoint is a Frame Relay endpoint, enter a value
from zero (0)-nnnn to represent the DLCI for the PVC.
for information about setting VCI and VPI values.
Note: For Redirect PVCs, you will need to specify the VCI/VPI
for pivot, primary, and secondary endpoints.
