NRP Internal PVC Profile

Table A-26 NRP Internal PVC Profile (continued)

Attributes

Acceptable Values

Default Values

 

 

 

CNX Type [c4_type]

Enum (11)

 

Specify the connection type. This attribute is used to determine what

"subscriber"

 

"service"

 

function the internal PVC will have. An NRP/NRP2 internal PVC can

 

serve several roles. It can be a subscriber downlink involved in binding

"multihop_in"

 

a subscriber stream to a tunnel, an ingress tunnel for multihop PPP

"idsl_sub" "pppip"

 

"other"

 

aggregation, a service uplink with tunnel support, or a termination

 

 

 

point for PPP sessions (PPPoA or PPPoE traffic) to be routed as IP

 

 

packets to their destination.

 

 

W

 

 

 

 

 

Service Name [c4_servicename]

Text (32)

 

This is the service name key that associates a subscriber with a tunnel.

 

 

This attribute is required if static binding is configured.

 

 

W

 

 

 

 

 

Sub-interface Type [c4_subiftype]

Enum (14)

 

Specify the type of sub-interface that this internal PVC will use.

"multipoint"

 

"tag-switching"

 

C

 

"point-to-point"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bridge Group [c4_bgroup]

Numb (10)

0

Indicates a bridge group. A value of 0 indicates no bridge group for this

Range=0-214748364

 

subinterface.

7

 

 

 

R

 

 

 

 

 

Circuit Type [ratype]

Text (2)

"VC"

This is the circuit type. It can be either a virtual circuit (VP) or virtual

 

 

path (VP).

 

 

C

 

 

 

 

 

PVC mapping on IP (only for service CNX)

 

 

 

 

 

Upper Layer Protocol [c4_protocol]

Enum (14)

 

This is the upper layer protocol for the PVC.

"ip_broadcast"

 

"ip_nobroadcast"

 

C

 

"inarp" "none"

 

 

 

 

 

 

VC-Class Attributes

 

 

 

 

 

QoS Class [c4_qos]

Enum (9) "CBR"

 

Specify the QoS class.

"UBR" "UBR+"

 

"ABR" "rt_VBR.1"
