Virtual Ports and Static Connections

PVCConnections

Example: Create a point-to-multipoint connection between a broadcasting workstation on port 7a1 and three other workstations connected to ports 7a2, 7a3, and 7a4.

1.Use add trafficdescriptor to create two new traffic descriptors, one for the forward direction, the other for the backward direction. For this example, for the forward traffic descriptor, we select UBR and accept the defaults.

SmartSwitch # add trafficdescriptor

 

— This is the forward descriptor

TrafficType(UBR)

:

— We use UBR for this example

TrafficDescriptorType(11)

:

 

PCRCLP01(100)

:

— Take the default values

QOSCLASS(0)

:

 

AalType(5)

:

 

SmartSwitch #

However, on a point-to-multipoint connection there should be no traffic in the backward direction, so we define the backward traffic descriptor with its Cell Loss Priorities set to zero (0)

SmartSwitch # add trafficdescriptor

 

 

TrafficType(UBR)

:

— This is the backward traffic descriptor

TrafficDescriptorType(11)

:

 

PCRCLP01(100)

: 0 — Set PCRCLP01 to zero

QOSCLASS(0)

:

 

AalType(5)

:

2.Use show trafficdescriptor to obtain the new traffic descriptors’ index numbers.

In the example above, traffic descriptor three (3) will be used in the forward direction, and traffic descriptor four (4) will be used in the backward direction.

3.Use add pvc to successively create point-to-multipoint PVCs for ports 7a2, 7a3, and 7a4.
