Chapter 4 X-Switch CLI & ATM Terminal Interface

Extending VLANs into the ATM Network [4]

This section describes how to extend VLANs into the ATM network. The ATM port can be in one or more VLANs. Each VLAN is associated with a LEC on the ATM access module, and each LEC is mapped to an ATM ELAN.

Note: You can make a maximum of 16 ELAN-to-VLAN associations per M-ACC ATM Access module (in the range VLAN 1 to 254 only). When you add another M-ACC module to an Avaya M770 domain you can add more associations, however you must ensure that you do not make the same associations twice since this will result in a loop. You can use the redundancy feature in which case all the associations should be the same. You cannot change or delete the default ELAN-to- VLAN association (Default ELAN associated to VLAN 1) but only Enable/Disable it.

Warning: If you want to use redundancy between 2 M-ACC modules:

i)Insert the 2nd module without any cables connected to it.

ii)Define the same ELAN/VLAN associations on both modules. iii)Define S/W redundancy using CajunView and activate it.

iv)Connect the cables.

VN Configuration Menu

The VN Configuration submenu can be accessed from the Main Menu. Select the VN option from the Main Menu. This generates the Virtual Net Configuration submenu appearing in Figure 4.20.
