ATM Connection Setup By Virtual Interface Screen

3.7ATM CONNECTION SETUP BY VIRTUAL INTERFACE SCREEN

The ATM Connection Setup by Virtual Interface screen is used to view all current connections for each LAN Emulation Client (LEC) that has been configured on the VHSIM2-A6DP on a LEC-by-LEC basis. This screen will also display PVCs that have been set up on the VHSIM2-A6DP. PVCs will display one at a time in Secure Fast Mode, because they are considered individual Virtual Interfaces. However, the PVCs will be displayed grouped by interface number in the 802.1Q mode.

To access the ATM Connection Setup By Virtual Interface screen, perform the following steps:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the CONNECTIONS BY VIRTUAL INTERFACE menu item on the ATM Connections screen.

2.Press ENTER. The ATM Connection Setup By Virtual Interface screen, Figure 3-9, displays.

Total Bandwidth Allocated (Read-Only)

Shows the resources the current APIM has available for the assignment of PVCs and their associated traffic descriptors. If there are no PVCs configured, the maximum bandwidth that the active APIM supports is displayed. For example, an APIM-21 will display 155 Mbps. As PVCs with traffic descriptors are assigned, their rate is subtracted from the total.
