Creating Data PVCs

NOTE: If you have existing configuration scripts that use the atm pvc
command, we recommend that you continue to use the atm pvc command
to configure all ATM PVC parameters except those that require you to use
the oam ais-rdi command or oam retry command in ATM VC Configuration
mode.
A control PVC, also referred to as a control circuit, supports services such as ILMI to
manage and control ATM networks. You must create a control PVC on an ATM major
interface, and not on an ATM 1483 subinterface that is stacked above an ATM major
interface.
To create a control PVC, you issue the pvc command from Interface Configuration mode.
However, unlike the other tasks in this section, configuring a control PVC with the pvc
command does not access ATM VC Configuration mode.
For example, the following commands create a control PVC with VCD 10, VPI 0, VCI 16,
and ILMI encapsulation.
host1(config)#interface atm 3/0
host1(config-if)#pvc 10 0/16 ilmi
host1(config-if)#
Regardless of whether you use the pvc command or the atm pvc command to create a
control PVC, you cannot modify the VCD, VPI, or VCI values after they have been
configured.
Use from Interface Configuration mode to create a control PVC for Integrated Local
Management Interface (ILMI).
To create a control PVC, specify the VCD, VPI and VCI (in the format vpi/vci), and the
ilmi keyword.
Example
host1(config-if)#pvc 5 0/5 ilmi
Use the no version to remove the specified control PVC from the router.
See pvc.
A data PVC, also referred to as a data circuit, is an ATM PVC that carries data. You must
create a data PVC on an ATM 1483 subinterface that is stacked above an ATM major
interface, and not on the ATM major interface itself.
To create a data PVC, you issue the pvc command from Subinterface Configuration
mode to access ATM VC Configuration mode. From ATM VC Configuration mode, you
can then do either of the following:
