3.3.1 BRIM-A6 Setup Screen Fields

The BRIM-A6 Setup screen displays settings for each PVC and SVC that

is conﬁgured to the BRIM. The following list explains each of the

BRIM-A6 Setup screen ﬁelds:

ATM Port Total Current Connections:

X

This ﬁeld displays how many connections (PVCs and SVCs) are

conﬁgured to the BRIM-A6.

VPI

This ﬁeld displays the Virtual Path Identiﬁer (VPI) of each connection.

You assign VPIs in the BRIM-A6 Add/Delete Entry screen.

VCI

This ﬁeld displays the Virtual Channel Identiﬁer (VCI) of each

connection. You assign VCIs in the BRIM-A6 Add/Delete Entry screen.

Encapsulation Type

This ﬁeld displays the method used to encapsulate data at the ATM

Adaptation Layer 5 (AA-L5) for each connection. The BRIM-A6

supports the following methods of encapsulation:

•VC Mux 802.3 LANE: VC Based Multiplexed 802.3 LAN Emulation

This method is speciﬁed by the ATM Forum LAN Emulation

speciﬁcation. This is the default encapsulation method.

•VC Mux Bridged 802.3: VC Based Multiplexing for bridged

protocols as deﬁned by the IETF RFC 1483.

•LLC Encapsulation: Logical Link Control for Bridged Protocols as

deﬁned by the IETF RFC 1483.

AAL Type

This ﬁeld displays the ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) type of each

connection. The AAL divides the user information into segments suitable

for packaging into series of ATM cells. The ATM Forum’s LAN

Emulation speciﬁcation dictates that AAL-5 be used for all LAN

emulation trafﬁc. The BRIM-A6 supports AAL-5 and AAL-3/4.

Oper. Status

This ﬁeld displays the operational status of each connection. Possible

conditions are Enabled or Disabled.
