IBM SC30-3681-08 Conguring Frame Relay Interfaces, Permanent-virtual-circuit, Circuit Number

Con®guring Frame Relay Interfaces

Add

Use the add command to add a PVC, Required PVC group, or destination protocol address supported by the Frame Relay interface.

Syntax:
add	permanent-virtual-circuit . . .
	protocol-address . . .
	pvc-group . . .
	switched-virtual-circuit . . .

permanent-virtual-circuit

Adds a PVC to the Frame Relay interface beyond the reserved range 0 through 15. The maximum number of PVCs that can be added is approximately 992, but the actual number of PVCs that the interface can support depends on the throughput required for each PVC, the line speed, the type of protocols running on the interface, and the number of local management interface PVC information elements that can ®t in the maximum frame size.

Example:

add permanent-virtual-circuit Circuit Number [16]?

Committed Information Rate (CIR) in bps [64000]?

Committed Burst Size (Bc) in bits [64000]?

Excess Burst Size (Be) in bits [0]?

Assign Circuit name []?

Is circuit required for interface operation [N]?

Does the circuit belong to a required PVC group [N]?

What is the group name []?

Do you want to have data compression performed [Y]?

Do you want to have data encryption performed [N]? y

Data encryption requires a key that is 16 hexadecimal characters long

You will be asked to enter the key twice for security reasons

Please enter the key for the first time now

A valid encryption key has been entered

Please confirm the key by entering it again

The encryption keys match - the key has been accepted

Circuit Number

Indicates the circuit number for this PVC.

Valid Values: 16 to 1007.

Committed Information Rate

Indicates the committed information rate (CIR). The CIR can be either 0 or a value in the range 300 bps to 2 048 000 bps. For more information, see ªCommitted Information Rate (CIR)º on page 396. The maximum is the value of the default CIR con®gured for the interface.

Committed Burst Size

The maximum amount of data in bits that the network agrees to deliver during a measurement interval equal to committed burst (Bc) size / CIR seconds. The range is 300 to 2048000 bits. The maximum value is value of the default committed burst con®gured for the interface.
