Using MSPVCs
An MSPVC connects the switch management port to an SVC terminating address
located on an adjacent switch. This management connection is used as the NMS path,
which enables the NMS to manage the switch.
MSPVCs originate at an internal logical port located on the switch’s processor module
(either SP or NP, respectively). They terminate at the switch’s I/O interface: IOM for a
CBX, and BIO for the GX 550. MSPVCs are not supported on the B-STDX.
MSPVCs provide a data path that accesses internal network management functions.
The MSPVC internal logical port is designated as
MgmtLPort.SW<
switch name>
.
It uses an interface number (ifnum) of 4093. To form the MSPVC, connect the
MgmtLPort. SW<
switch name>
endpoint to any target ATM End System
Address (AESA) configured on an ATM UNI logical port.
