Note The features described in this chapter are not applicable to the Cisco 10720 Routers.
The Cisc o 12000 Series Routers use both terminat ing Permanent Virt ual Circuit s (PVCs) and Swi t ched
Virtua l Circ uit s (SVCs). A PVC is mod eled in Cisc o 120 00/10 720 Ro uter M ana ger a s an ob j ect t hat i s
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 s imilar to PVCs in setup; h ow ev er , they fu nction di f ferently. The PVC is al ways operati ng and
is always up. On the other ha nd, the SVC sh u ts down when it is not in use. I t d oes n ot cea se to exist, but
only goes down until traffic occurs, then it re-establishes.
