VCI The 16-bit virtual channel identifier of the PVC. In conjunction with
the VPI, identifies the next destination of a cell as it passes through a
series of ATM switches on the way to its destination. Valid values vary
by platform. Typically, values up to 31 are reserved for special traffic
(such as ILMI) and should not be used. 3 and 4 are invalid.
Note VPI/VCI values must be unique for all the PVCs configured on
a selected interface. VPI/VCI values are unique to a single link
only and might change as cells traverse the ATM network.
Handle An optional name to identify the PVC. The maximum length is 15
characters.
Management PVC (ILMI) Does not apply when configuring the PVC on a subinterface.
When selected, designates this PVC as the management PVC for this
ATM interface by enabling communication with the Interim Local
Management Interface (ILMI). ILMI is a protocol defined by the ATM
Forum for setting and capturing physical layer, ATM layer, virtual path,
and virtual circuit parameters on ATM interfaces. See Understanding
ILMI, page 59-49.
When deselected, this PVC does not act as the management PVC. This
is the default.
Note The VPI/VCI for the management PVC is typically set to 0/16.
