Managing ATM Connections

This chapter describes the ATM connections supported by the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager application and guides you through the creation and configuration of these connections.

Note The features described in this chapter are not applicable to the Cisco 10720 Routers.

The Cisco 12000 Series Routers use both terminating Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) and Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs). A PVC is modeled in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager as an object that is deployed beneath an interface. The interface acts as the endpoint. An SVC is modeled in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager as an object that is deployed beneath an interface, but it has two endpoints. The remote endpoint can either be a non-Cisco EMF endpoint (which means it is outside Cisco EMF) or a Cisco EMF endpoint (which means it is within Cisco EMF).

SVCs are similar to PVCs in setup; however, they function differently. The PVC is always operating and is always up. On the other hand, the SVC shuts down when it is not in use. It does not cease to exist, but only goes down until traffic occurs, then it re-establishes.

Note Fields appear on various windows within the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager application that are not applicable. In such cases these fields should be ignored. Information detailing the fields that should be ignored are provided in the appropriate sections.
