13-2 Virtual Channel Management
13.1.3 VC Mux
VC Mux is a type of encapsulation where, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a specific
virtual circuit, for example, VC1 carries IP, VC2 carries IPX, and so on. VC-based multiplexing may be dominant
in environments where dynamic creation of large numbers of ATM VCs is fast and economical.
13.1.4 Virtual Channel Profile
Virtual channel profiles allow you to configure the virtual channels efficiently. You can configure all of the virtual
channels with the same profile, thus removing the need to configure the virtual channels one-by-one. You can also
change an individual virtual channel by assigning it a different profile.
The IES-1000 provides two default virtual channel profiles: DEFVAL (for LLC encapsulation) and
DEFVAL_VC (for VC encapsulation). By default, all virtual channels are associated to DEFVAL.
