3 IP OVER ATM AND LANE

This chapter explains how to set up a VLAN using classical IP over ATM and how to create an emulated LAN. After

reading this chapter, you will be able to use your SmartCell 6A000 switch to

•Create an IP over ATM VLAN

•Create an emulated Ethernet LAN using LAN emulation (LANE)

3.1 CREATING AN IP OVER ATM VLAN

This section describes how to implement IP over ATM on your SmartCell 6A000 switch. The following assumptions

are made:

•The SmartCell 6A000 switch will have a client on the IP over ATM VLAN.

•The ARP server will reside on the switch and correspond to the address of the switch client.

•All end nodes (computers, edge devices, and so on) support switched virtual circuits (SVCs).

1. Log into the switch, either through the terminal port or through the Ethernet interface by telnet.

2. Create a client on the switch and assign it as the ARP server for the VLAN.

SmartCell ZX # add ipatmclient

ClientNumber(0) : 1

ServerType(NONE) : local assign the ARP server to the switch client

ServerAddress() :

IPAddress() : 90.1.1.1 IP address is for example only

NetMask(255.0.0.0) : 255.255.255.0 subnet mask is for example only

MTU(9180) :

SmartCell ZX #

The example above creates a client on the switch, designates the client as the ARP server for the VLAN (ServerType

= local), and assigns the client an IP address and subnet mask.

3. Enter the show client command to make sure the client is operational and to obtain the 20-byte

ATM address of the ARP server. For example, if you used the client number (client 1) from the

example in step 2

SmartCell ZX # show client 1

IP/ATM Client 1

============================================================================

Client State : Operational

Client Address : 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:41:80:00:00:5A:01:01:01:00

Server : is local

Server Connection : Established

MTU : 9180

IP Address : 90.1.1.1

IP NetMask : 255.255.255.0

4. Physically connect your end nodes and edge devices to the SmartCell 6A000 ports.

Create an ELAN on your switch by executing the add elan command. The following is an example: 3. Create a client for the switch on the ELAN. For example, enter 5. Physically connect your end nodes and edge devices to the switch ports. Note When you create a client, it automatically finds the LECS address using ILMI. 4. Enter the show client command to make certain that the client is operational.

Use set vccmask to change the VPI/VCI values to 3/9. Note Do not set the VCI part of the VCCMask to fewer than 5 bits. 2. Use the show vccmask command to see the new VPI/VCI combination. 3. Use the set portconfig command to reconfigure a port to use the new values for VPI and VCI. For example, to set up a PVC on port A1 using the new VPI/VCI bit ranges (3/9), enter 4. Use show portconfig to see the change to port A1. PVCs can be configured for port A1 using VPI values from 0 to 7 and VCI values from 0 to 511. 4.6 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Page 4.6.2 Call Admission Control Policy 4.6.3 Class of Service Queues Class of Service Queue Allocation Guidelines 4.6.4 EFCI, EPD, and RM Thresholds Page 5 TROUBLESHOOTING 5.1 TROUBLESHOOTING IP OVER ATM - - - - - - - - - - - 5.2 TROUBLESHOOTING LAN EMULATION - - - - - - - - - - 5.3 TROUBLESHOOTING CONGESTION 5.3.3 Port Con estion Page Page APPENDIX A FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS A.1 HARDWARE COMPONENTS A.1.1 Front Panel Fi g A.1.2 CPU Module A.1.3 Switch Modules (MSM and ESM) A.1.4 Input/Output (Port) Modules 155 Mbps STS-3c/STM-1 UTP5, 4 Ports 155 Mbps STS-3c/STM-1 SMF/MMF, 4 Ports MMF, 4 Ports 155 Mbps STS-3c/STM-1 Port Numberin A.2 FEATURES Page A.3 SPECIFICATIONS A.3.1 Technical Specifications A.3.2 Physical Specifications A.3.3 ATM Port Specifications A.3.4 Standards Specifications A.3.5 CPU Serial Port Pin-Out Descriptions Page Page APPENDIX B SMARTCELL 6A000 AND SNMP B.1 INTERNET MIB HIERARCHY B.2 ZEITNET PROPRIETARY MIB tt B.2.1 Interpretin the Object Identifier B.2.2 Proprietary MIB Functions B.3 A CLIENT FOR SNMP MANAGEMENT B.4 CONSOLE COMMANDS THAT AFFECT THE AGENT B.5 MIB EXCEPTIONS Page Page Page APPENDIX C TECHNICAL SUPPORT C.1 TELEPHONE ASSISTANCE C.2 FAX SERVICE C.3 ELECTRONIC SERVICES C.4 PLACING A SUPPORT CALL C.5 HARDWARE WARRANTY C.6 SOFTWARE WARRANTY C.7 REPAIR SERVICES APPENDIX D ACRONYMS A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Page INDEX A B C D L M O P Q T U V W
