Configuration Summary

To configure the 6416SW, follow the steps listed below. Each of these steps is described in a subsequent section of this chapter.

1. Set the 6416SW user and administrator passwords.

2.Set the internal clock.

3.Set the local 6416SW parameters such as:

Switch name

Switch location

Service contact information

Console prompt

Console timeout

4. Define the ATM address of the 6416SW. This resets the ATM subsystem.

5. Enable the ports that will be used, and define their interface type type (UNI, NNI).

6.If you will connect the ONcore to one or more clusters or subnetworks in an &agenatrm.-based network, you must create trunks (logical links) to the other ATM switches in the network.

If the switches you will connect to are outside the local subnetwork, you must also define static routes to those switches.

7. Enable the ATM media modules that are installed in the hub.

8. If you want to use SNMP to manage the 6416SW, configure the SNMP parameters.

The parameters you configure depend on the type of subnetwork you will use for network management:

Classical IP

LAN Emulation

Note: You may select oneonly of the subnetworks to be used for the Default Gateway.
