Creating Control PVCs

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.

pvc

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.
Examplehost1(config-if)#pvc 5 0/5 ilmi
Use the no version to remove the specified control PVC from the router.
