HiSpeed Switch Troubleshooting Guide
Permanent Virtual Circuits vs.
Switched Virtual Circuits
ATM connections can be established manually (Permanent Virtual Circuits) or
dynamically (Switches Virtual Circuits). Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) are
usually defined for long-term connections and automatically re-established after a
network failure. Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs) uses Q.2931 signaling to
define and release connections as needed. Unlike PVCs, SVC connections are not
automatically re-established after a network failure.
The HiSpeed switch implements the following ATM services:
LAN Emulation (LANE)
Classical IP over ATM (CIP)
Point-to-Point Bridging (PTOP)
Trunking
LAN Emulation (LANE)
LANE emulates a traditional LAN (ie. Ethernet or Token Ring) over ATM by
mapping MAC addresses to ATM addresses, connectionless technologies to
connection-oriented technologies, and emulating the broadcast nature of LANs.
* Every ELAN must have (1) unique LES/BUS pair.
** Valid LEC values range from 0 through 31.
