simple question

Does MLI work as a troubleshooting utility for both - PVC and SVC?

Thanks

    MLI = Local Menagement Interface
    VPC = Permanent Virtual Circuit
    SVC = Switched Virtual Circuit

    this is all in relation to Frame-Relay (WAN encapsulations/protocols)

    any ideas?

    LMI not MLI, and PVC not VPC!

    LMI offers Status messages and multicasting across Frame links.

    The LMI global addressing extension gives Frame Relay data-link connection identifier (DLCI) values global rather than local significance

    LMI virtual circuit status messages provide communication and synchronization between Frame Relay DTE and DCE devices, they send periodic reports to prevent "black holes"

    With regards to SVC, LMI provides the mapping, however PVC is more common and the "de facto" for frame networks. Have a read of the link I posted it gives a good explanation.
