Obtaining Status and Statistical Information
Page 29-41
VCs Active/Inactive
Each port will have one or more associated virtual circuits. This column tells you the current
status of
Data virtual circuits. These counts do not apply to management virtual circuits. The
first number is the number of active VCs and the second is the number of inactive VCs . An
Active virtual circuit is one that is operationally Up and capable of transmitting data; it may
not necessarily be transmitting at this time. An Inactive virtual circuit is present, but for some
reason is operationally Down. It is not capable of passing data because either its administra-
tive status was set to Down or the Frame Relay network indicated it was present but Down.
