The SNMP ATM agent is a function of the Control program in the 6416SW module and implements the ATM MIB defined in the V3.0 UNI Specification of the ATM Forum.

The

AToMIB

is

defined

by

the IETF and

by the

3Com

extensions. It

can

be driven by

SNMP managers, such as IBM NetView for AIX . The 3Com ATM management

 

 

application, Transcend ONcore ATM Campus Manager, can be used by a LAN

 

 

administrator

to better

tune

the

system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both

PVCs

and

SVCs

are

supported. The

signaling

is

upwardly compatible

with

the

ATM Forum V3.0

and V3.1 UNI. Control messages are encapsulated in the SAAL

 

Adaptation

Layer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The

ILMI

(ATM

Forum V3.0) is fully supported. End-systems can register their local

address

to

the

ONcore

hub and

receive

notification

of their network address. ILMI

messages

are

SNMP-formatted

and

conveyed

using

the

AAL5

Adaptation layer.
