Integrated Fast Setup

57

In certain cases you will need to use the Fast Setup procedure of individual CoreBuilder 7X00 interface cards, in addition to the Integrated Fast Setup procedure, to correctly configure your system.

This section presents the Integrated Fast Setup of the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch card. It also explains when to use the Integrated Fast Setup of the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch card and when to use the Fast Setup of an individual Corebuilder 7X00 interface card. For detailed information about how to use the Fast Setup of an individual Corebuilder 7X00 interface card, see the User Guide of the specific interface card.

Chassis-oriented Setup

The Integrated Fast Setup procedure is based on the concept that the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch chassis together with its installed interface cards is viewed as an integrated unit. The advantage of this point of view is its simplicity: it is not necessary to remember in which slot each interface card is installed or even which type of interface card is installed. Attention is focussed on configuring the ports of the chassis. The procedure automatically determines the ports that are available in the chassis and presents them by type (Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, ATM) for configuration. The port location is displayed by the notation <slot.port>. For example <3.1> refers to slot #3, port #1.

Chassis-wide VLANs

With the Integrated Fast Setup, Virtual LANs (VLANs) can be created across the entire chassis. VLANs are set up in two stages. First, in the LE Client section, a number of potential VLANs are created according to the requirement of the network. Next, in the Virtual Network Configuration section, the potential VLANs become actual VLANs by having ports assigned to them.

You need to define an administration “admin” VLAN to maintain SNMP connectivity to each device in the network. Using the Integrated Fast Setup you define one admin VLAN for the chassis; there is no need to define separate admin VLANs for each interface card.

Note that from software version 3.5 on, the “admin” VLAN can now be called by any other name providing the same name is used consistently in the CB7000 and in all installed CB7X00 interface cards. When using the Integrated Fast Setup, the name for the admin VLAN which is specified for the switch module will be automatically chosen for the other modules
