Description This command configures a point-to-point ATM service. The Apipe service provides a point-to-point
L2 VPN connection to a local or remote SAP. An Apipe can connect an ATM endpoint locally (in the
same 7705 SAR) or over a PSN to a remote endpoint of the same type.
Parameters service-id — uniquely identifies a service in the service domain. This ID must be unique to this
service and may not be used for any other service of any type. The service-id must be the same
number used for every 7705 SAR on which this service is defined.

create — keyword used to create an Apipe. The create keyword requirement can be enabled/disabled
in the environment>create context

required on service creation and optional for service editing or deleting.
