A virtual circuit is a logical point-to-point circuit between customer sites. Permanent means
that the circuit is preprogrammed by the carrier as a path through the network. It does not need
to be set up or torn down for each session.

Forwarding Tagged and Untagged Frames
Each port on the device is capable of passing tagged or untagged frames. To forward a frame
from an 802.1Q VLAN-aware device to an 802.1Q VLAN-unaware device, the ZyXEL
Device first decides where to forward the frame and then strips off the VLAN tag. To forward
a frame from an 802.1Q VLAN-unaware device to an 802.1Q VLAN-aware switch, the
ZyXEL Device first decides where to forward the frame, and then inserts a VLAN tag
reflecting the ingress port's default VID. The default PVID is VLAN 1 for all ports, but this
can be changed.

Whether to tag an outgoing frame depends on the setting of the egress port on a per-VLAN,
per-port basis (recall that a port can belong to multiple VLANs). If the tagging on the egress
port is enabled for the VID of a frame, then the frame is transmitted as a tagged frame;
otherwise, it is transmitted as an untagged frame.

LAN1 and LAN2 are connected to ATAs (Analogue Telephone Adapters) and used for VoIP
traffic. You want to create high priority for this type of traffic, so you want to group these ports
into one VLAN (VLAN2) and then to a PVC (PVC1) where the priority is set to high level of
service.
