Service Class Definition

 

cells/sec). This is the same as PCR, but is expressed in kbits/sec, and

 

therefore may be a more convenient form. However, since the natural unit for

 

ATM is cells/sec, there may be a difference in the actual rate because the

 

kbit/sec value may not be an integral number of cells. This parameter is valid

 

for CBR, rtVBR, and nrtVBR service categories. This parameter is optional for

 

UBR.

 

scr

Specifies the Sustainable Cell Rate which defines the average cell rate. The

 

default is 0 cells/sec. This parameter is valid only for rtVBR and nrtVBR

 

service categories.

scr-kbits

Specifies the Sustainable Cell Rate which defines the average cell rate. The

 

default is 0 kbits/sec. This is the same as SCR, but is expressed in kbits/sec,

 

and therefore may be a more convenient form. However, since the natural

 

unit for ATM is cells/sec, there may be a difference in the actual rate because

 

the kbit/sec value may not be an integral number of cells. This parameter is

 

valid only for rtVBR and nrtVBR service categories.

mbs

Specifies the Maximum Burst Size in cells. MBS specifies how many cells can

 

be transmitted at the Peak Cell Rate. The default is 0 cells. This parameter is

 

valid only for rtVBR and nrtVBR service categories.

encap

Specifies the encapsulation scheme to transport multi protocol data over the

 

AAL5 layer:

 

routed-llc

Logical link control. This is the default.

routed-vcmuxVC-based multiplexing.

oam

OAM (Operation, Administration, and Management) loopback cells are used

 

to provide loopback capabilities and confirm whether a VC connection is up.

 

Only F5 OAM segments are supported, which provides loopback capabilities

 

on a VC connection level. This parameter turns OAM ON or OFF on the PVC.

 

The default is OFF. OAM OFF means that the SSR responds to F5 OAM

 

requests, but will not generate F5 OAM responses.

Applying a Service Class Definition

To apply a service class definition to a virtual channel, virtual path, or an ATM port, enter the following command in Configure mode:

Applies a service class definition.

atm apply service <string> port <port list>

The following is a description of the parameters used to apply a service class definition:

service <string> Specifies the name of the service class definition which you want to apply. The maximum length is 32 characters.
