ATM Configuration

Settings

The Settings portion of the window contains a list box which displays information about each of the currently conÞgured PVCs, as well as the Þelds used to conÞgure new connections:

I/F

The device interface on which the PVC was conÞgured.

 

Note that interfaces installed in a 7C0x chassis are

 

indexed following an XXXXYY format, where X = the slot

 

number in which the module containing the interface is

 

installed, times 10,000; and Y = the physical index

 

assigned to the port interface on the module. For

 

example, an index of 40001 would refer to port 1 on the

 

module installed in slot 4 of the chassis.

NOTE

For some 7A06 Þrmware versions, the I/F Þeld will display a bogus value (like the Ò31Ó displayed in Figure 6-1); check the I/F Þeld at the bottom of the window for the correct interface index values.

VPI

Displays the Virtual Path IdentiÞer assigned to the

 

connection; current versions of 7A06-01 Þrmware allow

 

values from 0 - 3. Virtual Path IdentiÞers are used to

 

group virtual connections, allowing for channel trunking

 

between ATM switches. Each VPI can be conÞgured to

 

carry many different channels (designated by VCIs)

 

between two points.

VCI

Displays the Virtual Channel IdentiÞer assigned to the

 

connection; allowable values are 0 - 1023 for each VPI.

 

Each assigned VCI must be unique within its deÞned

 

VPI: for example, you can assign a VCI of 14 as many as

 

four times: once with a VPI of 0, once with a VPI of 1, and

 

so on. Remember, it is the combined VPI and VCI

 

designations assigned to a channel that creates the

 

grouping of virtual connections.

Encapsulation Type

Displays the method used to encapsulate LAN packets

 

on the selected circuit. Current versions of 7A06-01

 

Þrmware use 802.3 VC-based multiplexing for bridging

 

protocols (designated VC MUX 802.3 Bridged); future

 

versions will add support for ATM Forum LAN

 

Emulation and CabletronÕs SecureFast Switching. You

 

may also see some connections assigned a type of

 

ÒotherÓ; these are default connections that cannot be

 

modiÞed or deleted.
