Creating switched virtual circuits

Switched virtual circuits (SVCs) are processed by the ATM Call Manager, which handles virtual circuit creation and management. The ATM ARP client and the LAN emulation client support SVCs. Both the LAN emulation client and ATM ARP client are based on the ATM Forum UNI specification.

LAN emulation with SVCs

The LAN emulation client running Windows uses SVCs by default. The client must be configured with a valid emulated LAN name to use SVCs. For more information, see Configure a LAN emulation client.

IP/ATM with SVCs

The ATM ARP client running Windows uses SVCs by default. The ATM ARP client must be configured with the address of the ATM ARP/MARS on the subnet. For more information, see Configure an advanced TCP/IP-over-ATM connection.
