All

Displays SVCs configured for all ports or a specified port. The cross-connect ID is a unique number generated for every SVC. PMP SVCs have only one cross-connect ID, though they might have several legs. All cell statistics are updated every 40 seconds, which is the maximum time for holding these counters without overflowing them.

Examples

The following examples show a summarized and detailed listing of an SVC.
