Cabletron Systems 9A100 manual Connecting to Local Switch Client Through a PVC

PVC Connections Switch Administration

3.Use add pvc to successively create point-to-multipoint PVCs for ports B2, B3, and C1.

SmartSwitch # add pvc
ConnType(PTP)	: pmp
LowPortID()	: a1
LowVPI()	: 0
LowVCI()	: 101
HighPortID()	: b2
HighVPI()	: 0
HighVCI()	: 101
FwdTrafficDescriptorIndex()	: 6
BkwTrafficDescriptorIndex()	: 7
SmartSwitch #

4.Perform step 3 for ports B3 and C1.

5.Connect the workstations to their respective ports.

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

The broadcasting workstation on port A1 can send traffic to the receiving workstations on ports B2, B3, and C1.

4.5.3Connecting to Local Switch Client Through a PVC

All PVC connections to the SmartSwitch 9A100 local clients use B4 (the CPU port) as the HighPort.

Follow these instructions to connect an end node to a SmartSwitch 9A100 local client through a point-to-point PVC.

1.Use add pvc to create the PVC.

SmartSwitch # add pvc
ConnType(PTP)	:	<we use a point-to-point PVC
LowPortID()	: a1	<for this example, we connect through port a1
LowVPI()	: 0
LowVCI()	: 100
HighPortID()	: b4	<HighPort must be b4
HighVPI()	: 0
HighVCI()	: 100
FwdTrafficDescriptorIndex()	: 2
BkwTrafficDescriptorIndex()	: 2
SmartSwitch #

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

SmartSwitch # add ipatmclient
ClientNumber(0)	: 2	<we use client # 2 in this example
ServerType(NONE)	: local	<ARP server on the switch
ServerAddress()	:
IPAddress()	: 10.1.1.0
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
DestinationIP()	: 10.1.1.22 <end node’s IP address
DestinationVPI(0)	:
DestinationVCI(33)	: 100	<VCI was specified as 100
SmartSwitch #

4.Connect the end node to port A1 of the SmartSwitch 9A100.

5.Configure the end node with IP address 10.1.1.22, subnet mask 255.0.0.0, and VPI/VCI pair = 0/100.
