Ed iting circuit parameters

To view and configure ATM PVC parameters:

  1. On the device view, highlight a port.
  2. Choose Edit > Port.
  3. The Port dialog box opens with the Interface tab displayed.
  4. Click the ATM PVC tab.
  5. The ATM PVC tab opens.
    The table below describes the fields in the ATM PVC tab.


Item Description
Vpi
Virtual path identifier.
Vci
Virtual circuit identifier.
PvcId
Internal index ID of the PVC.
Name
Emulated LAN name.
Encapsulation
Encapsulation type: null or llcSnap.
ServiceType
Unspecified bit rate (ubr) or variable bit rate (vbr).
PeakCellRate
Peak cell rate, in cells/second, is the maximum cell rate.
Note: IP multicast traffic between a Passport module and other devices may not perform as well as expected unless the peak cell rate and the sustained cell rate values are updated to their maximum values; only applicable if the Service Type is vbr.
SustainedCellRate
Sustainable cell rate is an upper bound on the cell rate that is long relative to that of the PCR; only applicable if the Service Type is vbr.
MaxBurstSize
Maximum burst size determined by the signaling method; It is coded as a number of cells that can be transmitted at peak rate and still conform to the overall algorithm; only applicable if the Service Type is vbr.

  1. Click Insert.
  2. The Insert ATM PVC dialog box opens.
    The table below describes the fields in the Insert ATM PVC dialog box.


Item Description
Vpi
Numeric value, within the range 0...255.
Vci
Numeric value, within the range 0...65535
Note: For <vpi.vci>, 0.0 is not supported.
Name
Alphanumeric characters to assign a name to the PVC.
Encapsulation
Encapsulation type: null or llcSnap.
ServiceType
Unspecified bit rate (ubr) or variable bit rate (vbr).
PeakCellRate
Numeric value, within the range 86...733490; only applicable if the Service Type is vbr.
SustainedCellRate
Numeric value, within the range 86...733490; only applicable if the Service Type is vbr.
MaxBurstSize
Numeric value, within the range 2...255; only applicable if the Service Type is vbr.

  1. In the Vpi field, type the VPI-bit size (an integer between 0 and 255).
  2. In the Vci field, type the VCI-bit size (an integer between 0 and 65, 535).

    Note Note: For <vpi.vci>, 0.0 is not supported.

  3. In the Name field, type the name of the ATM PVC.
  4. In the Encapsulation field, select the encapsulation method (null or IIcSnap).
  5. In the Service Type field, select the service type (ubr or vbr).
  6. If you select vbr in the Service Type field:
    1. In the PeakCellRate field, enter the PCR (an integer between 86 and 733490).
    2. In the SustainedCellRate field, enter the SCR (an integer between 86 and 733490).
    3. In the MaxBurstSize, type the maximum burst size (an integer between 2 and 255).
  7. Click Insert.
  8. The Insert ATM PVC dialog box closes.
  9. Click Close.
