Configuring Bridged PVCs
The purpose of bridged permanent virtual circuits (BPVCs) is to allow ATM interfaces in the Cisco
high-end router to be used in an edge or aggregation role and connect to a Cisco Catalyst switch or to
another remote device that supports bridged-format RFC 1483 PDUs only.
Note
Only Ethernet frames using Ethernet v2 format are supported. IEEE 802.3 format is not supported.
To create a BPVC, perform the following steps:
Note
Only one bridged PVC is allowed for each ATM subinterface.

Configuring Layer 2 AToM Virtual Circuits
A virtual circuit (VC) is a point-to-point connection between two ATM devices. A VC is established for
each ATM end node with which the router communicates. Permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) configured
on the router remain active until the circuit is removed from the configuration. All virtual circuit
characteristics apply to PVCs. When a PVC is configured, all configuration options are passed to the
4-Port ATM ISE line card. These PVCs are written to the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) as part of the
configuration and are used when the Cisco IOS image is reloaded.
