3 PNNI ROUTING

All ATM SmartSwitches use PNNI version 1.0 as their default routing protocol. PNNI provides automatic and dynamic connectivity among all PNNI nodes within the same peer group. By configuring multi-level PNNI topologies and peer group leaders, full hierarchical PNNI routing can be established with connectivity between different peer groups.

Note For a complete explanation of all PNNI related commands, see the SmartSwitch ATM Reference Manual.

3.1PNNI NODE ADDRESSING

By default, all ATM SmartSwitches come configured with a single PNNI node. All PNNI nodes are in the same peer group and at the same group level.

3.1.1Default PNNI Addressing

All PNNI entities on SmartSwitch ATM switches are assigned default values (which can be changed). The following describes the formulae used in creating these values.

Default Peer Group ID = 50:39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00

Default Group Level = 80 (50 hexadecimal)

SmartSwitch 2500 Family Default Node ID

Default Node ID = level + child node’s peer group level (see note) + 39 + nine zero (00) bytes + last three bytes of CPU MAC address + CPU MAC address with 127 summed with the last byte + zero (00) byte

Note If the node does not have a child node, and the node is also at the lowest level, the second byte is assigned the constant value A0 (160 decimal).

For example, for a node at the lowest level (80), the level and address length bytes are 50 (80 in hexadecimal) and a0 (160 in hexadecimal), respectively.

SmartSwitch 6500 Family Default Node ID

Default Node ID = level + child node’s peer group level (see note) + 39 + nine zero (00) bytes + last three bytes of chassis MAC address + switch MAC address with 127 summed with the last byte + zero (00) byte
