9A426-01/9A426-02 Module Specific Information Modifying Fields and User Privileges To modify fields on these modules, you must have read-write or super-user privileges. If you have read-only privileges, you can view information; however, you cannot modify any fields. Virtual Channels and Virtual Paths Rather than addressing cells to a specific destination, as in a LAN, ATM addresses cells to Virtual Channels (VCs) and/or Virtual Paths (VPs). This addressing takes place in the header field of the ATM cell.
