This command creates
a Permanent Virtual Connection (PVC), including the definition of the
associated Virtual Path Identifiers (VPI) and Virtual Connection Identifiers
(VCI) for the PVC. By defining a PVC, this command enters into PVC
configuration mode. The ATM port supports a maximum of 256 PVC definitions.
Important:
In Release 20 and later, HNBGW is not supported. This command must not be used for HNBGW in Release 20 and later. For more information, contact your Cisco account representative.

Syntax
Syntax Description
[ no ] pvc vpi vpi# vci vci# [ type { aal2 [ cps-payload-size cps_payload_value | aal5 } ] ] [ -noconfirm ]
no
Deletes the PVC's
entry from the configuration.
vpi
vpi#
VPI identifies a
unique path to a destination point in the ATM portion of the network. The VPI
and the VCI combine to create the PVC between the MS and the destination point.
vpi# must be an
integer, 0 to 255.
vci
vci#
VCI identifies a
unique virtual circuit within the associated VPI.
vci# must be an
integer, 0 to 65535.
type
This keyword is used
to define the type of PVC as AAL2 or AAL5 for HNB-GW service configuration
within the associated VPI and VCI.
aal2
This keyword is used
to define the type of PVC as AAL2 for HNB-GW service configuration within the
associated VPI and VCI.
aal5
This keyword is used
to define the type of PVC as AAL5 for HNB-GW service configuration within the
associated VPI and VCI.
cps-payload-size
cps_payload_value
This keyword
configures the Common Part Sublayer (CPS) payload in Bytes for AAL2 type of PVC
within the associated VPI. CPS payload is carried out by the AAL2 protocol over
ATM. During the call, the payload size is negotiated between HNB-GW and MSC.
Default size for payload is 64 but values may range from 1 to 64 Bytes. This
command makes the operator to choose the size dynamically
The CPS payload size
dynamically configured for per PVC. If user is not providing the CPS payload
size then default value of 64 Bytes is considered else user provided value is
taken.
cps_payload_value is the value of CPS payload in
Bytes and must be an integer between 1 through 64.
-noconfirm
Specifies that the
command must execute without any additional prompt and confirmation from the
user.
Usage Guidelines
Creates a virtual
circuit between two specific points that the carrier will use repeatedly.
This command is used to
define the type of PVC as AAL2 or AAL5 for HNB-GW service configuration. It
also configures the CPS payload which is carried out by the AAL2 protocol over
ATM. During the call, the payload size is negotiated between HNB-GW and MSC.
Default size for payload is 64 but values may range from 1 to 64 Bytes. This
command makes the operator to choose the size dynamically.
This command configures the
type of PVC to ATM Adaptation Layer2 (AAL2) or ATM Adaptation Layer5 (AAL5) for
ATM traffic between HNB-GW and MSC. It also enables the operator to configure
the Common Part Sublayer (CPS) payload for AAL2 protocol over ATM for HNB-GW
session between MSC and HNB-GW.
Example
Define a PVC with
VPI
2 and VCI
353.
pvc vpi 2 vci 353
The following command
configures the PVC type as AAL2 with VPI as
2 and VCI as
353. It also
configures the CPS payload to
45 bytes over
the ATM during the call.
pvc vpi 2 vci 353 type aal2 cps-payload-size 45
