This enumerated value (static, dynamic) indicates whether this virtual circuit was manually created by an administrator or was dynamically created through the Data Link Connection Management Interface. An admin uses it to distinguish permanently provisioned PVCs from circuits the DLCMI itself brought up, which matters when deciding whether a VC can safely be deleted by hand. For example, a VC showing dynamic(2) would be expected to disappear on its own if the DLCMI stops advertising it, whereas a static(1) VC requires an explicit csFrCircuitState change to remove.
