Configuring a Hard PVC for Structured CES with a Shaped VP Tunnel
A shaped VP tunnel is a VP tunnel that, by default, carries only VCs of the constant bit rate (CBR)
service category with a peak cell rate (PCR). However, it is possible to configure a shaped virtual path
(VP) tunnel to carry VCs of other service categories. The overall output of the shaped VP tunnel is
rate-limited, by hardware, to the PCR of the tunnel.
This section describes how to configure a hard PVC for structured CES with a shaped VP tunnel, which
is a two-phase process, as follows:
Phase 1—Configuring a Shaped VP Tunnel, page 19-23
Phase 2—Configuring a Hard PVC, page 19-25
For more information about configuring shaped VP tunnels, see Chapter 7, “Configuring Virtual
Connections.”.
Figure 19-4 shows an example of a how a structured CES circuit can be configured with a shaped
VP tunnel.

Command Purpose
Step1 Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)#
At the privileged EXEC prompt, enters global
configuration mode.
Step2 Switch(config)# atm
connection-traffic-table-row [index row-index]
cbr pcr rate
Configures the connection traffic table row for
the desired PVP CBR cell rate.
Step3 Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port
Switch(config-if)#
Selects the physical interface to be configured.
Step4 Switch(config-if)# shutdown Disables the interface.
