Mapping the external PW to the PW-port

Mapping between the external PW and the FPE based PW-port is performed via an Epipe of type vc-switching. The user configurable Epipe (id 5 in this example) aids in setting up steps 4, 5 and 6 in Figure: Mapping between the external PW and the PXC based PW-port:

  1. An internal PW is automatically added to the user configured Epipe 5.

  2. A bind is created between the internal PW and the PW-port attached to PXC.

  3. External PW is switched to the internal PW.

At this stage, the external PW is mapped to the pw-port 1, as shown in Figure: Mapping between the external PW and the PXC based PW-port. The spoke-sdp 17000:1 and the binding under SDP 17001 (spoke-sdp 17001:100001) created in steps 4 and 5 (Figure: Mapping between the external PW and the PXC based PW-port) can be seen via show commands. However, they are not visible to the operator in the configure branch of CLI.
