4.3UNI ROUTES

Use the add atmroute command to create UNI routes. For example, connect an end station adapter (with MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55) to port 7A2 of a SmartSwitch 6500. If the adapter does not support ILMI or its ILMI is incompatible with the SmartSwitch 6500, you must create a static UNI route between the adapter and port 7A2 of the SmartSwitch 6500.

The following example works with any ATM SmartSwitch, however, the port numbering may be different (for instance

A2 instead of 7A2):

1.Enter the show netprefix command to obtain the netprefix of port 7A2:

SmartSwitch # show netprefix

PortNumber(ALL)

: 7a2

Port# NetPrefix

============================================================================

7A2 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:59:00

SmartSwitch #

2.Reconfigure the adapter with an ATM address made from the netprefix of port 7A2 and the adapter’s MAC address: 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:59:00:00:11:22:33:44:55:00.

3.Use the add atmroute command to create a static UNI route that specifies port 7A2 and the adapter’s new ATM address.

Note Always set the Type parameter of the add atmroute command to internal (the default) for UNI routes. This indicates that the route is internal to the PNNI domain.

Note The add atmroute command allows you to specify a set of metrics to be used with the route. Metrics are created using the add pnnimetric command, and are assigned to routes by metric tag numbers. By setting the appropriate administrative weights within metrics, it’s possible to create parallel load-sharing or fail-over routes. For more information about metrics, administrative weights, and metric tags, see Section 4.4, Route Metrics.
