Creating PVCs

This appendix describes the procedure for creating PVCs on Avaya M770 ATM Modules.

Creating P2P

PVCs are virtual circuits that are set up through manual configuration rather than through UNI signaling between the ATM endpoints as is done for the switched virtual circuits (SVCs).

There are three steps in creating a P2P PVC on the M770 ATM switch:

1Create the Traffic Descriptor (TD) that will be used for the PVC

2Limit the Signaling SVC range on the vport

3Create the P2P PVC.

The next three subsections explain how to setup a PVC on the M770 ATM switch. In this example, a P2P PVC will be setup on the M770 between ports 1.1 and 1.2 using VPI 0/ VCI 115.

The M770 ATM switch uses the following system to describe a VC. The number, “1.2.0.115:” indicates that there is a VC on slot 1, port 2 using VPI 0 and VCI 115.

Creating a Traffic Descriptor

A Traffic Descriptor must be defined with the service class that will be used to transport the traffic and the bandwidth that is required. The example below shows a cell rate of 4152 cells per second, appropriate for a DS1 (24 DS0s times 173 cps)

Command:M770s1:/>td setup CBR <td_id> pcr0+1=<pcr0+1> [pcr0=<pcr0>] Example:M770s1:/> td setup CBR 5 pcr0+1=4152

To determine which td_id is available, type td show to display all defined Traffic Descriptors.
