Cabletron Systems 2.2 Adding a New Connection

ATM Conﬁguration

5-4 Conﬁguring Connections

Delete Deletes the selected connection; a

conÞrmation window requires that you

conÞrm the deletion.

Refresh Refreshes the connection information

displayed in the window.

Adding a New Connection

To conÞgure new Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs), enter the following

information in the text Þelds which appear just below the connections list box:

1. In the I/F menu, select the interface for which you wish to conﬁgure a

connection. All available ATM interfaces will be listed in this menu. Note that

depending on the type of your host device, you will have a ﬁxed number of

interface selections:

• EMM-E6: 5-20

• ESXMIM: 7-22

• ESX-1320/ESX-1380: 13-28

• MicroMMAC: 2-14

• NBR-420: 4-19

• NBR-620: 6-21

2. In the VPI text box, enter the Virtual Path Identiﬁer you wish to assign to this

connection. Currently, the only allowable value is 0; remember, the VPI you

assign will be used to group virtual connections, allowing for channel trunking

between ATM switches.

3. In the VCI text box, enter the Virtual Channel Identiﬁer you wish to assign to

this connection. Allowable values are 0 to 1023 for each VPI. Again,

remember that it is the combination of VPI and VCI that will be used to direct

cells through the intermediate switches between the source and destination.

4. In the Encapsulation Type menu, select the desired encapsulation type.

Current versions of ATM BRIM ﬁrmware use 802.3 VC-based multiplexing for

bridging protocols (designated VC MUX 802.3 Bridged); future versions will

add support for additional encapsulation methods.

NOTE

Currently, versions of CabletronÕs ATM device Þrmware restrict the range of VPI and

VCI values that you can set. VPI values for the BRIM-A6 and BRIM-A6DP are

restricted to a value of 0; VCI values are restricted to a range of 0-1023.

TIP

Selecting any of the other encapsulation types listed in the ÞeldÕs menu will cause a ÒSet

FailedÓ error when you attempt to add the new connection.
