Cabletron Systems 04-0053-01 Connecting to Local Switch Client Through a PVC, Set client number

PVC Connections Virtual Ports and Static Connections

5.Connect the workstations to their respective ports.

6.Configure the workstations for the same subnet and VPCI/VCI pair = 0/101.

The broadcasting workstation on port 7a1 can send traffic to the receiving workstations on ports 7a2, 7a3, and 7a4.

5.1.3Connecting to Local Switch Client Through a PVC

All PVC connections to an ATM SmartSwitch local client use the CPU port. On a SmartSwitch 6500, this port is either 7B4 or 8B4 depending on the slot in which the master TSM/CPU module resides. Because of the SmartSwitch 6500’s redundancy capability, the CPU port should always be designated as CPU. Using CPU assures that the PVC connects to the active CPU in the event of fail-over. On all other SmartSwitch ATM switches (2500, 6A000, or 9A100), the CPU port is B4, however, as with the SmartSwitch 6500, the value CPU can also be used.

Follow these instructions to connect an end node to an ATM SmartSwitch’s local client through a point-to-point PVC.

1. Use add pvc to create the PVC.

SmartSwitch # add pvc
ConnType(PTP)	:
Port-1-Number()	: 7a1
Port-1-VPCI()	: 0
Port-1-VCI()	: 100
Port-2-Number()	: cpu	— The CPU port
Port-2-VPCI()	: 0
Port-2-VCI()	: 101
Port1-to-Port2TrafficDescriptorIndex()	: 2
Port2-to-Port1TrafficDescriptorIndex()	: 2

2.Use add ipatmclient to create an IP over ATM local client.

SmartSwitch # add ipatmclient
ClientNumber(0)	: 2	— Set client number 2
ServerType(None)	: local	— ARP server is on the switch
ServerAddress()	:
IPAddress()	: 100.1.1.0
NetMask(255.0.0.0)	:
MTU(9180)	:

SmartSwitch #

3.Use add ipatmpvc to associate the end node’s IP address with the PVC.

SmartSwitch # add ipatmpvc
ClientNumber(0)	: 2		— Specify local client number
DestinationVPCI(0)	:
DestinationVCI(33)	:	101	—VCI to CPU port was specified as 101

4.Connect the end node to port 7a1 of the ATM SmartSwitch.
