You can either manually configure the carried protocol or let the signaling
procedures negotiate it dynamically during call establishment.
NULL encapsulated cells do not receive a header in a routed environment. In a
bridged environment, the content of the PDU itself includes the necessary
information for bridging the multiplexed protocols.
Encapsulation Rules for PVCs
How you assign data encapsulation to individual PVCs depends to a degree on the
data encapsulation type you assigned to the service record that contains those
PVCs. Table 1-4
provides suggestions for assigning data encapsulation to PVCs
and hybrid PVCs that reside on these service records.
When assigning a data encapsulation type to a PVC or group of PVCs, keep the
following in mind:
• When you add a PVC, it reads and uses the data encapsulation type specified
in its ATM service record.
• You can globally assign a data encapsulation type to all nonhybrid PVCs in a
particular service record, or you can assign a data encapsulation type to
individual group PVCs.
• If you change the data encapsulation value for the service record, all new
PVCs that you add to that service record use the new value.
• You must assign a data encapsulation type to hybrid-mode PVCs individually.
You cannot assign data encapsulation to a hybrid-mode PVC using the service
record.
• When you use the copy function, the new PVC uses the data encapsulation
type of the existing PVC.
