Table 23 WAN PVC Configuration parameters
Column Description
Entry (CC#) Define each PVC Configuration entry on the interface. A PVC Configuration entry must use
the following format: CC#, where the prefix 'CC' is followed by a number. For example,
'CC2' is a valid PVC Configuration entry. Each entry must use a different number. You
must use consecutive numbers when entering PVC Configuration entries. If you do not use
consecutive numbers, the system adjusts them to be consecutive. If you add an existing
entry, the existing entry is modified with new values. When you modify an entry, the name
cannot be changed.
PVCName Enter a name for this PVC Configuration entry.
DLCI Enter the Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) number for this PVC.
Local IP Enter the IP address for the PVC.
You must enter the IP address in the dotted format, for example 255.255.255.255.
Subnet Mask Enter the Subnet Mask for the PVC.
You must enter the subnet mask in the dotted format, for example, 255.255.255.255.
CIR Enter the committed information rate in Kbps. The CIR is the rate the carrier guarantees
that the router transmits at over a predetermined time interval when congestion is not
present.
The possible values are 0 are 1024 .
The default is 64.
Contact your service provider for the correct setting.
Business Communications Manager uses one-second intervals to measure this
parameter.
Excess Burst BE Combined with the committed burst rate, lets you set, in Kbps, the maximum number of
bits the router transmits over a predetermined time interval if there is no congestion. The
combined value of committed burst and excess burst must be less than or equal to the line
speed.
The possible values are 0 to 1024 .
The default value is 64.
