VCCMask
Use VCCMask (virtual channel connection mask) to manage the combination of VPI (virtual path identifier) bit and 
VCI (virtual channel identifier) bit settings. There are only four different VCC mask entries allowed by the switch and 
the VPI and VCI shift must total 12.

Administrator
Modifies the proportion of bits assigned to the VPI and VCI 
for a given VCC or VPI/VCI set. The combined total of VPI 
and VCI bits must equal 12. The four most common VCC 
masks are predefined in the system (see 
modify portconfig
 
). When modifying a VPI/VCI set, you must specify the VCC 
mask by using the mask index identifier. If you modify a 
specific mask index, for example a VPI/VCI set is modified 
from 6/6 to 7/5, you will modify occurrences of the 6/6 
configuration on all ports, as only four different VCC masks 
configurations can exist at any one time.
