Traffic Management PVC Priority Assignments

VPI (Modifiable)

Used to enter the Virtual Path Identifier of the PVC. The available choice for this field is 0 or 1.

VCI (Modifiable)

Used to enter the Virtual Channel Identifier of the PVC. The available range for this field is 32 through 4095. If an entered VCI value is reserved or out of range, the appropriate message will be displayed. If the VCI field is left blank, then an error message will display which states the VCI is out of range.

NOTE: The user must configure one VPI, VCI field per virtual queue displayed. VPIs and VCIs must be unique to the physical port.

Profile Index (Modifiable)

Displays the profile index number of the preconfigured default traffic descriptors (1 - 9) and any user configured traffic descriptors. Traffic descriptors are assigned in the Traffic Management screen. This field initially displays a default value of 1 for the default UBR descriptor.

Profile Name (Read-Only)

The user-defined profile name corresponding to the selected profile index number is displayed.

Traffic Category (Read-Only)

The traffic category corresponding to the selected profile index number is displayed.

SAVE (Command)

Used to save a newly configured Virtual Port or to make modifications to a previously saved Virtual Port. Using SAVE causes the Virtual Port to first be deleted, if it previously existed, then recreated with the values displayed on the screen. Once the SAVE is completed a message stating the result will be displayed. If the Virtual Port was created successfully, the message “VPort HAS BEEN CREATED” will be displayed momentarily, and the next unconfigured (NEW VPORT) will be displayed. If the Virtual Port could not be created then an appropriate message will be displayed.

DELETE (Command)

This option only appears if a Virtual Port has been previously configured. This command deletes the displayed PVC Vport from the VHSIM2-A6DP connection table. Use the SPACE bar or the BACKSPACE key to step through existing Virtual Ports.
