As an alternative to using the atm pvc command to configure ATM PVC parameters with
a single command, you can access ATM VC Configuration mode to configure individual
ATM PVC parameters with separate commands, one parameter at a time. You can
configure parameters for the service category, encapsulation method, F5 OAM options,
and Inverse ARP.
The following sections explain the benefits of using ATM VC Configuration mode and
describes how to configure the ATM VC mode :

Using commands in ATM VC Configuration mode to configure individual ATM PVC
parameters provides the following benefits:
Commands in ATM VC Configuration mode are less complex and easier to use.
With the atm pvc command and keywords, you configure multiple PVC attributes on
a single command line. In addition, configuration attributes available only for control
(ILMI and signaling) PVCs or only for data PVCs are not mutually exclusive.
By contrast, ATM VC Configuration mode provides commands to configure each
parameter individually, and makes a clearer distinction between configuration of control
PVCs and configuration of data PVCs.
ATM VC Configuration mode interoperates with the atm pvc command.
You can configure all of the parameters currently supported by the atm pvc command
from within ATM VC Configuration mode. In addition, you can create a PVC with the
atm pvc command and modify or delete the same PVC by using ATM VC Configuration
mode. Conversely, you can modify (with certain restrictions) or delete a PVC created
in ATM VC Configuration mode by using the atm pvc command.
ATM VC Configuration mode supports additional F5 OAM alarm surveillance and VC
integrity options.
In most cases, you can use either an ATM VC Configuration mode command or the
atm pvc command to configure ATM PVC parameters. However, to configure F5 OAM
