Creating PVCs and PVPs
The procedures for creating a Permanent Virtual
Channel (PVC) and Permanent Virtual Path (PVP)
are identical. You accomplish both by using views
accessible from the SwitchApp Icon Subviews
menu, as described below. Basically, you use
Virtual Channel views to create PVCs and Virtual
Path views to create PVPs.
The following procedure describes how to create a
PVC. To create a PVP, use the Virtual Path views
instead of the Virtual Channel views.
Creating a PVC involves defining individual links
(VPI/VCI) on each of two ports and then cross
connecting the ports. Use the Virtual Channel
Link Table View (Page 125) to define the links on
each port; then use the VC Cross Connect Table
View (Page 120) to cross connect the ports.
4 From the SwitchApp Icon Subviews menu,
select Links -> Virtual Channel.
The Virtual Channel Link Table View
(Page 125) displays.
5 Set the link information (IF Index, VPI, and
VCI). For example, 20101.0.160.
6 Save the link by pressing <Return> and then
clicking Create Link.
The VCL Row Status view displays.
7 Assign traffic parameters for transmit and
receive and then click <Return> to save.
8 Click Validate Row and then wait to see that
the row status changes from Not Ready to
Active.
9 Return to the Virtual Channel Link Table view
to validate that the link was defined with the
assigned traffic parameters.
10 That completes the link definition for the first
port to be cross connected. Now repeat steps
1 through 6 to complete the link definition for
the other port.
11 When the links are defined correctly for both
ports, go to the SwitchApp Icon Subviews
menu and select Cross Connect -> Virtual
Channels.
Note:
Note:
Check the following before you begin:
1. You must have write privileges for
the device.
2. The traffic parameters for the ports
must be set properly.
3. The ILMI parameters must be set.
Use local management to do this.
