Required Network Design Information for an ATM Network

When designing your network for an ATM WAN using the UltraNet Edge 3000, gather the following information for both the local and remote nodes:

NOTE: Refer to the UltraNet Edge Storage Router ATM WAN Configuration Worksheet in Appendix J or help gathering the IP addresses and required network criteria.

•ATM VPI/VCI information for connectivity through ATM switches.

•Host IP addresses (Ethernet maintenance interface and ATM WAN interface)

•Subnet information

•Default Gateway IP host address on the Ethernet maintenance interface

•SNMP information

—System name and contact information

—Community names

—Trap Destinations

The following is a list of pertinent information for each network component that you will need to know when designing your ATM network.

UltraNet Edge 3000

•The Ethernet maintenance interface is statically configured for auto negotiate.

•Each IP interface on the UltraNet Edge 3000 needs to be on a separate subnet. This includes the WAN interfaces, the Ethernet maintenance interface, and the serial interface for PPP.

•The default PPP IP host address for the UltraNet Edge 3000’s serial interface is 192.168.1.1/28. This can be changed using UltraNet ConfigManager.

•The default IP address structure will be defined for the ATM WAN on subnet 192.168.144.0/24, if one is not defined using UltraNet ConfigManager.
