X.25 Overview

PVCs and SVCs
Bay Networks X.25 services enable you to configure both permanent virtual
circuits (PVCs) and switched virtual circuits (SVCs).
A PVC is a permanent logical path that you configure between two DTEs. It uses
a fixed logical channel to maintain a fixed point-to-point connection between two
end stations on a network. A PVC requires no setup operation before or
disconnect operation after data travels between these end stations.
An SVC is a connection across a network that exists only as long as data travels
across that circuit. An SVC is established on an as-needed basis, and can connect
any two end stations in the network. SVCs have three separate phases: call setup,
data transfer and call disconnection.
You can configure a combination of PVCs and SVCs on the same interface.
For instructions on configuring X.25 PVCs and SVCs, refer to Cha
pter 3,
“Enabling X.25 Service.
How X.25 Services Work
End users on a LAN use the services of the Bay Networks router to access X.25
networks. The router acts as a DTE device; it encapsulates user data in X.25
format and transmits it across the network.
PVC Services
PVCs work the same way as SVCs, except that you configure permanent
mappings for PVCs, while SVCs create mappings each time a call occurs.
You create permanent mappings by assigning the appropriate PVC LCN in the
adjacent host record for the specified protocol. The PVC LCN value can not be
numerically equal to any SVC remote X.121 address that is configured in an
adjacent host record for the same protocol and on the same next-hop interface.
Configuring X.25 PVCs for IP, IPX, and DECnet
Enter a PVC LCN value in the Adjacent Host Address parameter.
