Conﬁguring SVCs and PVCs

Conﬁguring SVC Trafﬁc Parameters

Chapter 572

NOTE The SVC trafﬁc proﬁle is used only if the connection setup is issued by

the ATM adapter. It is not used to negotiate or reject incoming

connection setup requests.

To conﬁgure an SVC trafﬁc proﬁle in SAM, follow these steps:

Step 1. Log in as root.

Step 2. Type sam to start SAM.

Step 3. Select “Networking and Communications”.

Step 4. Select “Network Interface Cards”.

Step 5. Highlight the ATM adapter that you want to conﬁgure, and then choose

Configure from the “Actions” menu.

This opens the “Conﬁgure ATM Card” window, which lists all conﬁgured

interfaces for the ATM adapter.

Step 6. Highlight the interface that you want to conﬁgure trafﬁc parameters for,

and select Define SVC Traffic Parameters... from the “Actions”

menu. This opens the “Deﬁne SVC Trafﬁc Parameters” window, which

lists all SVCs and the SVC trafﬁc parameters already deﬁned.

Step 7. Select the Add... button.

Step 8. Enter the destination system’s ATM address.

Step 9. Conﬁgure the SVC trafﬁc proﬁle (use the SAM online help if you need

more information about any of the parameters).

Step 10. Select the OK button when you are ﬁnished.

The SVC trafﬁc proﬁle is added to the list of deﬁned SVC trafﬁc proﬁles,

and takes effect as soon as an SVC is opened towards the speciﬁed

destination system.
