Chapter 8 Permanent Virtual Connections (PVCs and PVPs)

Creating a PVP connection

A PVP is created by constructing two VPLs. The VPLs describe the edges of the PVP, see Figure 8.2. Refer also to “Creating PVPs” on page 293.

PVP connections will be re-established automatically when the M770 ATM Switch powers up. You can have up to 64 PVP connections on a module. To set up a bi- directional PVP between 2 ports on different modules (on the same switch) you must type the command on the CLI of each module.

The command described below will setup a VPL on each <slot.port.vpi> and a PVP connection joining the two. The PVP connection will be automatically assigned an ID.

To create a PVP connection, use the pvp setup command:

Command: M15-155s6:/>pvp setup <vpl1index> <vpl2index> [<td1>] [<td2>]

Example 1: Setting up a PVP between two ports on the same module with default traffic descriptors:

M15-155s6:/>pvp setup 6.2.8 6.3.8

Example 2: Setting up a PVP between 2 ports on different modules on the same switch, with traffic descriptors:

M15-155s6:/>pvp setup 6.3.7 9.1.7 3

M15-155s9:/>pvp setup 6.3.7 9.1.7 3

Parameters: <vpl1index>

The first VPL for the PVP connection in the format

 

<slot.port number.vpi>.

<vpl2index>

The first VPL for the PVP connection in the format

 

<slot.port number.vpi>.

td1

Index of rx td for vpl1 (= tx td for vpl2)

td2

<td2> = index of tx td for vpl1 (= rx td for vpl2)
