Managing Static Routing

This chapter describes how to use the command-line interface to setup and manage

static routes in an Avaya M770 ATM Switch. For information about how to access

and use the Avaya M770 ATM Switch command-line interface, see Chapter 3 “How

to Use the Command-line Interface”.

This chapter describes the commands that allow you to configure static routes in the

routing table in the Avaya M770 ATM Switch. For more examples about setting up

routing entries for an attached device, see “Routing Configuration” on page 13.

Static routing is needed when connecting to an ATM host which does not support

ILMI, and when connecting to another switch which supports only IISP and not

PNNI.

Adding a new routing entry to the routing table

To add a new routing entry to the routing table, enter a partial prefix, followed by

one or more virtual ports. A 19-byte ATM address is usually composed by

combining the switch network prefix with the End-Station Identifier (ESI) of the

attached device.

Note: Static routing should be configured on the module through which the route is

performed e.g. if you want to add a route to virtual port 8.4.0 you need to configure

this in module number 8.

The static routes shown in module 8 will be only the routes of module 8.
