| Description | The Frame Relay PVC End-Point table. This table
is used to model a PVC end-point. This table
contains the traffic parameters and statistics for
a PVC end-point.
This table is used to identify the traffic
parameters for a bi-directional PVC segment end-
point, and it also provides statistics for a PVC
segment end-point.
A PVC segment end-point is identified by a UNI/NNI
logical port index value and DLCI index value.
If the frame relay service provider allows the
frame relay CNM subscriber to create, modify or
delete PVCs using SNMP, then this table is used to
identify and reserve the requested traffic
parameters of each PVC segment end-point. The
Connection table is used to 'connect' the end-
points together. Not all implementations will
support the capability of
creating/modifying/deleting PVCs using SNMP as a
feature of frame relay CNM service.
Uni-directional PVCs are modeled with zero valued
traffic parameters in one of the directions (In or
Out direction) in this table.
To create a PVC, the following procedures shall be
followed:
1) Create the entries for the PVC segment
endpoints in the frPVCEndptTable by specifying
the traffic parameters for the bi-directional
PVC segment endpoints. As shown in figure 2, a
point-to-point PVC has two endpoints, thus two
entries in this table. Uni-directional PVCs
are modeled with zero valued traffic
parameters in one direction; all the `In'
direction parameters for one frame relay PVC
End-point or all the `Out' direction
parameters for the other frame relay PVC
Endpoint.
