Field Action/Description
Service Class 
Type
Mono-Class ā (default) PVC traffic maps to a VFR-NRT service class.
Multi-Class ā Allows PVC traffic to utilize all ATM services classes. You 
must also specify Transmit Scheduling Mode.
VFR-RT 
Negative
(Trunk logical 
port types 
only)
This checkbox becomes available if you select the Multi Class service 
class. 
Select the check box to enable this field. If enabled, the trunk can be 
oversubscribed. This option is useful in cases where a trunk has failed 
and PVCs must be rerouted to a new trunk. When this happens, trunk 
bandwidth can become negative and service may be slow, but PVCs stay 
up. 
Clear the check box to disable this field (default). PVCs from the failed 
trunk will not be rerouted and remain down; however, existing trunk 
bandwidth and service remain stable.
