ATM Connections 7-7
ATM Connection Configuration
ATM Connection Configuration
The following figures and tables describe the parameters used to configure ATM connections:
• Table 7-2, Traffic Policing Definitions.
— This table describes the policing options that may be selected for ATM connection types:
CBR, UBR, and VBR. The policing options for ABR are the same as for VBR.
• Table 7-3, Connection Parameters with Default Settings and Ranges
— This table specifies the ATM connection parameter ranges and defaults. Not all the
parameters are used for every connection type. When adding connections, you are prompted
for the applicable parameters, as specified in the prompt sequence diagrams included in
Figure 7-3 through Figure 7-10.
• Table 7-4, Connection Parameter Descriptions
— This table defines the connection parameters listed in Table 7-3.
The following figures list the connection parameters in the same sequence as they are entered when
a connection is added:
• Figure 7-3, CBR Connection Prompt Sequence
• Figure 7-4, VBR Connection Prompt Sequence
• Figure 7-5, ATFR Connection Prompt Sequence
• Figure 7-6, ABR Standard Connection Prompt Sequence
The following figure shows the VSVD network segment and external segment options available
when ABR Standard or ABR ForeSight is selected. ForeSight congestion control is useful when both
ends of a connection do not terminate on BXM cards. At present, FCES (Flow Control External
Segment) as shown in Figure 7-7 is not available for ABR with ForeSight.
• Figure 7-7, Meaning of VSVD and Flow Connection External Segments
The following figures list the connection parameters in the same sequence as they are entered when
a connection is added:
• Figure 7-8, ABR ForeSight Connection Prompt Sequence
• Figure 7-9, ATFST Connection Prompt Sequence
• Figure 7-10, UBR Connection Prompt Sequence
