Managing FORE/IP and PVCs

About establishing and deleting PVCs

PVCs are static; for each destination, you must establish (attach the IP layer to) a PVC explicitly and delete (detach the IP layer from) the PVC explicitly.

For each destination that needs to establish a PVC with the filer, you must establish an outgoing PVC and an incoming PVC in three places:

On the filer
On the destination ATM host
On all interconnecting ATM switches
