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)

3.1CREATING 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
