3 IP OVER ATM AND LANE

This chapter describes working with the SmartCell ZX-250 IP over ATM VLAN and emulated LAN capabilities. At the end of this chapter you will be able to use your SmartCell ZX-250 switch to

UCreate an emulated Ethernet LAN (LANE)

3.1CREATING AN IP OVER ATM VLAN

This section describes implementing IP over ATM on your SmartCell ZX-250 switch. The following assumptions are made:

UThe ZX-250 switch will have a client on the IP over ATM VLAN

UThe ARP server will reside on the switch and correspond to the address of the switch client

UAll end nodes (computers, edge devices, and so on) support Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs)

s• Log into the switch, either through the terminal port or through the Ethernet interface by telnet. ¢• 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	< the ARP server is assigned 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.

2p›F The command add ipatmclient always prompts you with a subnet mask that is appropriate for the IP address. However, if necessary, you can change the subnet mask to correspond to the strategy employed within your networks.

2p›F Never create an IP over ATM VLAN (or an IP over ATM client) with the same subnet as the SmartCell ZX-250 Ethernet port.
