What does the PVC status DELETED indicate?

  1. The PVC is operational and currently transmitting data

  2. The PVC is not present and no LMI information is received

  3. The PVC is configured but not in use

  4. The PVC has been removed from the configuration

The correct answer is: The PVC is not present and no LMI information is received

The status of a PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) indicated by "DELETED" means that the PVC has been removed from the configuration. In this state, the connection does not exist anymore, and as such, there will be no associated traffic or related data being transmitted. The term "deleted" suggests that any configuration settings related to that specific PVC have been removed, and therefore the circuit is no longer active. A deeper look at the other options clarifies this: an operational PVC that is transmitting data would have a different status indicating that it is active. Similarly, if the PVC were configured but not currently in use, it would reflect a different status that signifies it remains present in the system. Lastly, if there was no LMI (Local Management Interface) information being received, it could indicate a loss of connectivity or other issues, but that would not correlate specifically to the DELETED status. The "DELETED" status emphasizes that the PVC is no longer part of the configuration, aligning well with the understanding of network management and configuration states.
