ATM Configuration

Viewing connection data; configuring Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs); adding and deleting connection entries

The ATM Connections option is available when you have an HSIM-A6DP installed and enabled in your SmartSwitch 2000. The ATM HSIM-A6DP provides the connectivity that allows you to merge ATM network segments with traditional LAN technologies.

An ATM network uses two types of virtual channels, or circuits: Switched Virtual Circuits, or SVCs, and Permanent Virtual Circuits, or PVCs. SVCs are created and dismantled dynamically on an as-needed basis, and require no management definition; PVCs, however, must be manually configured. The Current ATM Connections window provides the means for accomplishing these configurations.

Accessing the ATM Connections Window

To access the ATM Connections window from the Chassis View:

1.Click on Device on the Chassis View menu bar to access the Device menu.

2.Click on ATM Connections. The Current ATM Connections window, Figure 7-1, opens.
