PVCs are configured between a classical IP System and an IP Switch System. They are terminated in the IP Switch System. The configured PVCs show up as virtual interfaces and are configured just like any other interface. QoS is applicable, but Rate Shaping and IFMP support do not apply to these interfaces.
