Introduction

To display information about active switched virtual circuits (SVCs) and permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), use the show x25 vc EXEC command. From the information displayed when we use this command, we can view the state of the virtual circuit. This document looks at the possible values that can be alllocated to the virtual circuit state, and their definitions.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions.

Conventions

For more information on document conventions, refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.

Sample Output

Let's look at some sample output from the show x25 vc command:

Router# show x25 vc 9999 
SVC 9999, State: D1, Interface: Serial0
  Started 0:00:31, last input 0:00:31, output 0:00:31 

Possible Values

D1 is the normal ready state. Let's look at other possible states for the virtual circuit in the following table:

State

Definition

D1

Flow control ready.

D2

Data terminal equipment (DTE) reset request.

D3

Data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) reset indication.

P1

Idle

P2

DTE waiting for DCE to connect call.

P3

DCE waiting for DTE to accept call.

P4

Data transfer.

P5

Call collision.

P6

DTE clear request.

P7

DCE clear indication.

R1

Packet level ready.

R2

DTE restart request.

R3

DCE restart indication.

X1

Non-standard state for a virtual circuit in hold-down.

See Annex B of the 1984 ITU-T X.25 Recommendation for more information on these states.
