UNI ROUTES

Use the 

 command to create UNI routes. For example, connect an end station adapter (with MAC address 

00:11:22:33:44:55) to port 7A2 of the SmartSwitch 6500. If the adapter does not support ILMI or its ILMI is 
incompatible with the SmartSwitch 6500, you must create a static UNI route between the adapter and port 7A2 of the 
SmartSwitch 6500. The following is an example:

Enter the 

 command to obtain the netprefix of port 7A2:

Smart6500 # show netprefix

PortNumber(ALL)                           : 7a2

 Port#   NetPrefix

============================================================================

7A2       39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:59:00

Smart6500 #

Reconfigure the adapter with an ATM address made from the netprefix of port 7A2 and the adapter’s 
MAC address: 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:59:00:00:11:22:33:44:55:00.

Use the 

 command to create a static UNI route that specifies port 7A2 and the adapter’s 

new ATM address.

Smart6500 # add atmroute

PortNumber()                            : 7a2

AtmAddress()                              : 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:59:00:00:11:22:33:44:55:00

The UNI route appears in the table as 

, with Protocol Type of 

 (management).

For UNI routes to work with certain devices, ILMI may also need to be disabled 
on the SmartSwitch 6500. Use the 

 command to disable ILMI on 

the SmartSwitch 6500 on a per-port basis.
