To view a summary of existing VCEs
- Access Virtual Connection ▶VCE ▶Configuration.
A list of all existing VCEs and their current status is displayed.
Note: A type Tunnel VCE will create an implicit VCA which can be included within another VCA. Also, a VCE with both TP A and TP Z ports configured as external will generate an implicit VCA.
For more information on specific parameters, refer to the following table.
