1 INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the SmartSwitch 9A100 User Guide. The SmartSwitch 9A100 ATM switch is a module that fits into the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis. You can install up to seven SmartSwitch 9A100 switches into a 14-slot SmartSwitch 9000 chassis; or up to three switches into a 6-slot chassis. The module is hot swappable, meaning that you can install and remove it without turning off or disconnecting the chassis. This manual will help you quickly and easily install and configure your SmartSwitch 9A100 switch.

By performing the steps described in the first two chapters of this manual, your switch will be physically installed, accessible on your Ethernet network, and running either an IP over ATM VLAN or an emulated Ethernet or Token Ring LAN.

Subsequent chapters provide information about switch use, maintenance, and problem solving. These topics include

•Managing the switch: backing up configurations, adding routes, creating PVC connections, upgrading software, dealing with bandwidth, and controlling congestion

•Working with the switch’s hardware components

•Troubleshooting

Note For detailed descriptions of SmartSwitch 9A100 console commands and their use, see the SmartCell 6A000/ZX-250 Reference Manual.
