Virtual Ports and Static Connections

5.4.2Making Soft PVC and PVP Connections

Creating soft PVC and PVP connections consists of the following general steps:

•Configure a target port and ATM target address on the target switch

•Create a traffic descriptor to be used by the connection

•Add a soft PVC (or PVP) on the source switch that specifies the port on the target switch as its end point

5.4.3Creating a soft PVC

The following is a step-by-step example of creating a soft PVC from port 7a1 on the source switch to port 6b3 on the target switch. The two switches containing the soft PVC are separated by several switches, which are connected through PNNI (see Figure 5-2and Figure 5-3).
