Creating a PVC
To create a PVC on the ATM interface and enter interface-ATM-VC configuration mode, use the
following command, beginning in interface configuration mode:
The range of values for
vpi
isfrom 0 to 255. The range of values for
vci
is from 1 to 65535.
Once you specify a name for a PVC, you can reenter the interface-ATM-VC configuration mode by
simply entering
pvc
name
.
Mapping a Protocol Address to a PVC
The ATM interface supports a static mapping scheme that identifies the network addresses of remote
hosts or routers. This section describes how to map a PVC to an address, which is a required task for
configuring a PVC.
To map a protocol address to a PVC, use the following command in interface-ATM-VC configuration
mode:
Note
If you enable or disable broadcasting directly on a PVC by using the
protocol
command, this
broadcasting configuration will take precedence over any direct configuration made using the
broadcast
command.
