Configuring ATM PVCs
About Redirect PVCs
About Redirect PVCs
This section describes how to configure redirect PVCs for ATM UNI and NNI logical 
ports. Redirecting PVCs provides PVC backup recovery in the event of DTE state 
changes.
Redirecting PVCs enables you to configure a PVC with the following three endpoints:
•Pivot
• Primary
• Secondary
Each endpoint has its own port and VPI/VCI combination. Typically, traffic follows 
the path between the pivot and primary endpoints. When the primary endpoint goes 
down, a redirection (or switchover) of PVC traffic is triggered, either manually or 
automatically. The traffic then follows a path between the pivot and secondary 
endpoints. Redirecting PVCs takes place only if the called endpoint is down. 
Redirecting PVCs does not take place if the PVC segment within the Lucent network 
becomes inactive (for example, if there is no route to the primary endpoint, or the 
trunk is down).
Note  – You cannot configure PVC redirection on a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) 
logical port or a GX 550 ES.
The product formerly called the GX 250 Multiservice Extender is now referred to as 
the GX 550 ES (Extender Shelf) in the Navis EMS-CBGX interface.
The NMS may display features that are not available in this release. For a complete list 
and explanation of each of the features that are supported in this release, see the 
Navis EMS-CBGX SRN.
