Chapter 12 Managing ATM Connections

ATM PVC Configuration

Decommissioning or Re-Commissioning a PVC

When you connect a PVC, it is automatically commissioned as well. Decommissioning does not disconnect the PVC.

To decommission a connected PVC:

•Make sure that the PVC you want to decommission is selected in the list boxes at the left of the window. You can choose multiple PVCs if desired.

•Click the Decommission button in the Action area.

Once you have decommissioned a connected PVC, you might want to commission it again. To re-commission a PVC, simply click Connect and the connection is commissioned.

ATM OAM Ping

The ATM OAM Ping feature is used to send an Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) packet to verify Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) connectivity. The status of the PVC is displayed when a response to the OAM packet is received. The ATM OAM Ping feature supports interactive ping functionality.

This feature provides two ATM OAM ping options:

•End loopback—Verifies the end-to-end PVC integrity.

•Segment loopback—Verifies the PVC integrity to the neighboring ATM device.

Note A PVC must already be configured for the virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) values.

To initiate an ATM OAM Ping, proceed as follows:

Step 1 Right-click on a selected interface, then choose Cisco 12000/10720 Manager>Configuration> ATM>VCL Configuration. The ATM VCL Configuration window appears, with the Configuration tab displayed. Click on the OAM Ping tab.

Step 2 Enter valid values for the Timeout and Repeat Count fields. Select the End Loopback type and click

Ping.
