add[ATMAddress] <iispatmaddress>

iisproute [PortNumber] <portnumber>

[Metric] <metric>

Administrator

Creates an IISP routing entry to the switch. These entries usually use a 13-byte netprefix ATM address. Routing between switches is decided at each segment of the path by determining a best match of the destination address in the call setup with address entries in the IISP routing table. When a signaling request arrives across an IISP or UNI link, the switch checks the destination ATM address against the entries in the IISP address prefix table and selects the port with the longest prefix match. The IISP table is configured with a set of address prefixes that are accessible-each IISP port on the switch.

delete

[EntryIndex] <entryindex>

Removes an IISP route. Enter show iisproute before entering

addresses on the switch.

flush

All

Flushes the IISP route addresses from the switch.

￿￿￿￿You can create a default IISP route if you enter only the port number and a weighting value [Metric] for the route (see Examples below). You can set multiple local configurations to choose one of the parallel links for next-hop routing. A weight of “1” assigned to all parallel routes mandates alternative routing in a round-robin fashion. In other words, given parallel routes, based on best address matching, use the weighting to decide which route to use. If, however, there is no best address match, then use the default route. If you define more than one default route, you can weight them differently, so there is a calculated decision, instead of round-robin.
