MANAGING YOUR ATM NETWORK
SmartSwitch ATM Administrator can connect to your ATM switches through either the switch’s Ethernet interface or
through a direct ATM connection to one of the ATM switches. In the later case, your NMS workstation must contain
an ATM network adapter card.
through a direct ATM connection to one of the ATM switches. In the later case, your NMS workstation must contain
an ATM network adapter card.
Using an ATM adapter to reach your ATM network is the preferred type of connection for ATM Administrator. Using
ATM to connect to your ATM network avoids issues related to maintaining a parallel Ethernet network. ATM assures
that all switches are reachable, and that all switches can reach important services such as the TFTP and BootP servers.
Using ATM also removes the need to create and keep track of special Ethernet routes that may be needed for
connectivity (see "Ethernet Connectivity").

ATM Connectivity
Connecting the NMS workstation to your network through an ATM network adapter card is the easiest way to manage
your ATM network. To set up ATM Administrator to use ATM, create an ELAN that is dedicated to network
management (named “NMS”, for instance). Then, make all ATM switches and the NMS workstation clients of this
ELAN (see Figure 4-5). Using this special ELAN for network management not only assure that ATM Administrator
can reach all ATM switches, it also provides a certain amount of security because all network management activity
occurs on its own subnet.
