Checking PVC Connections
Check PVC connections to verify that all PVCs, including management PVCs, are
configured, and to see whether the PVC is active or not.
1. Press Esc to return to the Status menu.
2. Select PVC Connection Status.
The PVC Connection Status screen shows all PVC connections; the interface and
DLCI number of the source interface and DLCI number for the destination
interface. You can also see whether the PVC is active.
3. Verify that each PVC is active.
