Defining

the

ATM

Address of

the

6416SW

 

A default ATM address is provided

with

the 6416SW. You can continue to use

this

default

address

only if

you

use

your

6416SW as a stand-alone ATM switch.

 

If

you

want

to

connect

the

6416SW

to

other ATM subsystems, the ATM address

must

be

defined

as

follows:

 

 

 

 

 

AFI-RDNThe first (leftmost) 11 bytes of the Network Prefix is the address of the subnetwork to which this 6416SW belongs.

If the ATM campus network is connected to a public carrier, this address is assigned by the appropriate administrative authority.

ACN If the ATM subnetwork contains multiple ATM clusters, this byte specifies the number of the cluster to which this 6416SW belongs.

HNIf the ATM cluster contains multiple ATM subsystems, this byte specifies the number of this 6416SW in the cluster.

This address is assigned to the 6416SW using the SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS

command, which automatically saves the ATM address and resets the ATM subsystem.
