This read-only object reports the PVC status received via local in-channel signaling for this endpoint, deleted, active, inactive, or none, and it's only pertinent for interfaces performing bidirectional procedures; on user-to-network network-side procedures it stays none. Seeing inactive here while the row is administratively active means the signaling layer itself is reporting the PVC down even though it's provisioned, a classic sign of an LMI mismatch or far-end signaling failure rather than a physical fault. On a bidirectional nni frame-relay port, this object flipping to inactive while the physical line stays up points to a Status/Status-Enquiry protocol problem rather than a cable fault.
