This table include all entries to Soft-PVPC/PVCC currently available between the lines or the line and CPU port of the switch. Also, this table is used to set or delete Soft-PVPC/PVCC. The operable connection form between Soft-PVPC/PVCC is bi- directional point-to-point only. The procedure to set the connection is as follows: 1. Acquire connSoftPvcIndex To set the connection, read connSoftPvcIndexNext and obtain an index of the Soft-PVPC/PVCC table. The index must be managed by NMS. (The index is required to take an action to the connection.) 2. Set createAndWait Set connSoftPvcRowStatus to CreateAndWait, using the obtained connSoftPvcIndex as index. If the agent will set the parameter for the Soft-PVPC/PVCC setting to the default value and make connSoftRowStatus to notReady. However, the same manager cannot create another row while creating a row (the status of the row is notRedy or notInService). 3. Get the default value Get the default value of the object which serves as parameter for the connection setting. (The agent shall return -1 if it does not have a default value.) Default values are as follows: connSoftPvcTopology bi-directional-VCC(2) connSoftPvcTrafficType traffic-UBR(5) connSoftPvcEndpointType calling(1) connSoftPvcRetry 2 connSoftPvcSrcAtmAddressFormat nsap(2) connSoftPvcSrcAtmAddressLength None connSoftPvcSrcAtmAddress 0 length string connSoftPvcSrcIfIndex None connSoftPvcSrcVPI None connSoftPvcSrcVCI None connSoftPvcDstAtmAddressFormat nsap(2) connSoftPvcDstAtmAddressLength None connSoftPvcDstAtmAddress 0 length string connSoftPvcDstIfIndex None connSoftPvcDstVPI None connSoftPvcDstVCI None connSoftPvcSrcFifoIndex 0 connSoftPvcDstFifoIndex 0 connSoftPvcNodeKind model5(1) connSoftPvcSrcParam1 off(1) connSoftPvcDstParam1 off(1) connSoftPvcSrcParam2 0 length string connSoftPvcDstParam2 0 length string connSoftPvcSrcParam3 -1 connSoftPvcDstParam3 -1 connSoftPvcSrcParam4 -1 connSoftPvcDstParam4 -1 connSoftPvcSrcParam5 -1 connSoftPvcDstParam5 -1 connSoftPvcSrcParam6 off(2) connSoftPvcDstParam6 off(2) connSoftPvcSrcParam7 None (not installed) connSoftPvcDstParam7 None (not installed) 4. Set parameter If a parameter does not have a default value, or the default value should not be used, set the parameter to a value. If all parameters are set, the agent shall make connSoftPvcRowStatus to notInService. 5. Set active By doing so, the agent checks parameters, resources and establishes the connection. 6. Get connSoftPvcRowStatus If connSoftPvcRowStatus is active, the connection setting completed successfully, if notInService,the connection setting failed. For the cause, refer to connSoftPvcCause. (Note) When the connection setting has failed, if the connection is not released, the row will remain. 7. Get connSoftPvcRestRetry Remaining counts of retry are contained. If it is positive value, the retry is in progress. If connSoftPvcRestRetry is 0, the retry completed. The result of the connection setting should be seen, when this object is 0. -1 means that infinite retry is in progress. ***Special pattern*** (1) If connSoftPvcTopology is bi-directional-VPC, set connSoftPvcSrcVCI, connSoftPvcDstVCI to 0. The procedure to release the connection is as follows: 1. Set 'destroy' Set connSoftPvcRowStatus to 'destroy', using connSoftPvcIndex of the connection to be deleted as index. The agent will delete the connection, referring to it. (Note) 'destroy' can also be set during the bypass processing. 2. Get the result If the connection is deleted, 'get' of connSoftPvcTable of the designated index becomes NoSuchName. The bypass processing of connection 1. Set notInService When the agent executes the bypass processing of connection, set connSoftPvcRowStatus to notInService, and then establish the connection. 2. Get connSoftPvcRowStatus If connSoftPvcRowStatus is 'active', the bypass connection setting has completed successfully. If connSoftPvcRowStatus remains 'notInService', the connection setting has failed. Others 1. The cut and recovery processing of connection is performed, following the delete and set procedures of the concerned connection. Each procedure is as stated before.
