<channel> svc
Syntax:
<channel> svc listen | <addr> [ip | mac]
<channel> svc none
Description:
Specify that the VC for a PPP channel should be an SVC (i.e.
created by signalling). This can either be by listening for an
incoming call, or by making an outgoing call to a specified ATM
address. The outgoing call, or the listen, only occurs while the
enable flag for this channel is set.
Outgoing and incoming UNI signalling calls are identified by a
BLLI value that identifies PPP. If the channel is already attached
to an SVC or PVC then it is closed and re-opened with the new
settings. If it cannot, it remains closed.
If a single argument none is supplied, any current connection is
torn down. This is equivalent to pvc none on the channel.
In the PPP state machine, providing a link of this form causes
the link to be ‘up’ or ‘down’. Enable must also be used, to allow
the link to become operational.
The IP or mac indicates which form of data is transported over
the connection: one is IP data (controlled by the IPCP protocol),
or it is the MAC data (for BCP). If neither is provided, IP is
assumed. Providing an SVC setting changes any PVC setting.
See the pvc command. By default, a channel has no connection
information.
Example:
ppp 3 svc
47.00.83.01.03.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.20.2b.00.03.0b.0
0
ppp 4 svc listen (listen for incoming call)
ppp 7 svc none (tears down connection and removes setting)
