28 IQ Probe User Manual 61200214L1-1
Chapter 4. Applications
All PVC-based in-band management traffic must be noncompressed IP
and use RFC 1490 encapsulation.
Local PVC Management
Local PVC management refers to a PVC created between the IQ
Probe and the frame relay router on the DTE interface of the IQ
Probe. This type of management is ideal when local manage-
ment is needed but an ethernet connection is not available. To
support this type of management, all traffic on the selected PVC
must be RFC 1490 encapsulated, noncompressed IP traffic.
The local PVC is sent out of the WAN serial port of the router as
normal WAN traffic and is terminated in the IQ Probe. Since the
IQ Probe responds to Inverse ARP, it is not necessary to set up a
static route in the router. The router will discover the IP address
automatically; however, it will be necessary to set up a local PVC
between the router and the IQ Probe. Accomplish this by setting
a value (between 16 and 1007) for the DTE management DLCI on
the IQ Probe to a value not used by the frame relay network.
Local PVC management can be used at any location that has a
router. Therefore, remote sites can be accessed through the
remote router. One consideration when using local PVC man-
agement is that if the remote router goes down, access to the
remote IQ Probe is lost.
