5.
Connect the workstations to their respective ports.
6.
Configure the workstations for the same subnet and VPCI/VCI pair = 0/101.
The broadcasting workstation on port
7a1
can send traffic to the receiving workstations on ports
7a2
,
7a3
, and
7a4
.

Connecting to Local Switch Client Through a PVC
All PVC connections to an ATM SmartSwitch local client use the CPU port. On a SmartSwitch 6500, this port is either
7B4
or
8B4
depending on the slot in which the master TSM/CPU module resides. Because of the SmartSwitch 6500’s
redundancy capability, the CPU port should always be designated as
CPU
. Using
CPU
assures that the PVC connects to
the active CPU in the event of fail-over. On all other SmartSwitch ATM switches (2500, 6A000, or 9A100), the CPU
port is
port is
B4
, however, as with the SmartSwitch 6500, the value
CPU
can also be used.
Follow these instructions to connect an end node to an ATM SmartSwitch’s local client through a point-to-point PVC.
1.
Use
add pvc
to create the PVC.
SmartSwitch # add pvc
ConnType(PTP) :
Port-1-Number() : 7a1
Port-1-VPCI() : 0
Port-1-VCI() : 100
Port-2-Number() : cpu
— The CPU port
Port-2-VPCI() : 0
Port-2-VCI() : 101
Port1-to-Port2TrafficDescriptorIndex() : 2
Port2-to-Port1TrafficDescriptorIndex() : 2
SmartSwitch #
2.
Use
add ipatmclient
to create an IP over ATM local client.
SmartSwitch # add ipatmclient
ClientNumber(0) : 2
— Set client number 2
ServerType(None) : local
— ARP server is on the switch
ServerAddress() :
IPAddress() : 100.1.1.0
NetMask(255.0.0.0) :
MTU(9180) :
SmartSwitch #
3.
Use
add ipatmpvc
to associate the end node’s IP address with the PVC.
SmartSwitch # add ipatmpvc
ClientNumber(0) : 2
— Specify local client number
DestinationVPCI(0) :
DestinationVCI(33) : 101
—VCI to CPU port was specified as 101
SmartSwitch #
4.
Connect the end node to port
7a1
of the ATM SmartSwitch.
