3.5.1Adding Traffic Management PVC Priority Assignments

To add an entry to the PVC Priority Assignments, perform the following steps:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the PVC Vport field. Choose the PVC Vport desired by either pressing the SPACE bar, the BACKSPACE key, or by entering the number of the Virtual Port you wish to display. Press ENTER to continue to the next field.

NOTE: Only an existing Virtual Port can be chosen for modification. If creating a new Virtual Port, the user can only configure the current “New Vport:N” displayed. A user can not select a vport # for a new vport.

2.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Number of Virtual Queues field. Use the SPACE bar, BACKSPACE key, or type the number of queues desired. The user will have the option of creating up to 8 virtual queues per Virtual Port (virtual queue 0 - 7). If the user enters a value larger than the number of queues supported on the platform then a message stating the number of queues supported is displayed across the top of the screen, and the previously displayed queue count is re-displayed. As the number of virtual queues is increased or decreased, it will cause the number of queues displayed in the table below to change accordingly. The field is one based for the users ease of reference, but the number of queues displayed in the table and in the mib are zero based. For example, if the user is on a new Virtual Port and enters 3 into the number of virtual queue field, virtual queues 0-2 will appear in the table below with no PVCs configured and default profile indexes of 1 for each queue.

3.The AAL Type field may be skipped over with no change. It will always be 5.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Encapsulation Type field and press the SPACE bar to toggle to the appropriate Encapsulation Type. Either VC Mux 802.3 Bdg or LLC Encapsulated can be chosen.

NOTE: Since encapsulation is set per Virtual Port, all PVCs on a particular Virtual Port must have the same type of encapsulation.

5.Use the arrow keys to highlight the VPI field and enter 0 or 1, or an error message will be displayed. If the VPI field is left blank, it defaults to the value of zero.
