5.If clients on both switch SW1 and SW2 are within the same subnet, you can test connectivity by pinging between clients.

IISP Routes Among Multiple Switches

Multiple IISP routes can be set up over a single physical link. Continuing with the example above, a third switch (SW3) is added.

6.Connect a cable between port B1 of SW2 and port B1 of SW3; then add an IISP route between B1 of SW2 and B1 of SW3 (see Figure 4-1).

7.Use the add iisproute command to add a third route from SW1 to SW3 over the existing cables.

On switch SW1, enter:

SmartCell ZX # add iisproute

ATMAdress() : 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:15:00 <SW3's netprefix

PortNumber(A1) :a4 <Port on SW1 attached to the cable from A4 on SW2

Metric(1) :

On switch SW3, enter

SmartCell ZX # add iisproute

ATMAdress() : 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:41:80 <SW1's netprefix

PortNumber(A1) :b1 < Port on SW3 attached to the cable from B1 of SW2

Metric(1) :

SW1 and SW3 are connected without using a dedicated physical connection between the two switches.

Note that a routing loop is created if SW1 and SW3 are physically connected with a cable and an IISP route is defined over this physical link.
