MANAGING AN ATM SMARTSWITCH

Your ATM SmartSwitch must be IP reachable by the NMS before it can be managed. The default connection between 
the ATM SmartSwitch and the NMS is the Ethernet interface of the ATM SmartSwitch. Use the 

 

command to find the IP address of the ATM SmartSwitch. An NMS can use this IP address to reach the ATM 
SmartSwitch through Ethernet. An NMS can also manage an ATM SmartSwitch through one of its ATM ports if the 
ATM SmartSwitch has a client connection into a VLAN or emulated LAN.

Note that the ATM SmartSwitch itself, is not reachable through ATM until a client for the switch is created and 
participates as a member of a VLAN or ELAN. Your NMS uses that switch client’s address to access and manage the 
switch. 

To create a client for the switch, use the 

 command for VLANs and 

 for emulated 

LANs. 

Use the 

 command to tell the ATM SmartSwitch which interface to use when communicating with your 

NMS. For detailed information about these commands, see the SmartSwitch ATM Reference Manual.
