Configuring ATM Routing
196 Avidia System Configuration and Management User Manual
CONFIGURING ATM ROUTING
If an Avidia system has two line cards installed, you can configure IISP (Interim Inter-Switch
Signaling Protocol) static routes to provide line card redundancy. IISP enables static routing of
signaling messages between clustered AVIDIA systems. When a line card fails, the system uses
the IISP static route configuration to reroute SPVCs to another line card.
You configure ATM routing from the ::route=> prompt. From the ::root=> prompt, type
the following command then press to display the ::route=> prompt:
configuration atm route

Adding ATM Routing Table Entries

From the ::route=> prompt, type the new command in the following format, then press
.
new <address> <length> <slot.port> [-admin (active|inactive)]
Parameters
<address>
The ATM address of the destination ATM end system. The address can be up to 20 octets.
The first octet must be 39, 45, or 47. Each octet must be separated by a colon.
<length>
The number of destination ATM address prefix octets you want the system to consider
when determining whether the ATM routing table entry matches a particular SPVC. For
example, if you set the matching length to 2, then all SPVCs for which the first two octets
of the destination ATM address prefix match the first two octets of the ATM Routing Table
entry will be routed according to the information in that table entry.
