Configuring SVCs

An SVC is a logical connection established using signaling messages, which reduces the amount of manual configuration required. SVCs are established on demand and torn down when a release message is generated either by signaling messages or by the application.

On the ATM switch router, no configuration is necessary to set up a transit SVC (an SVC that does not terminate on the ATM switch router). The signaling channels are set up by default and do not require manual configuration.
