ATM Routing

  Switch Administration

The switch stores the IP address of the TFTP server, the path, and the backup file name. The next time you enter the

 or 

 commands, these values are presented as the default IP address and path. For example, when you 

enter the

 command, the following display appears:

SmartCell ZX# restore switch

ServerIP(90.1.1.100) :

Path(/back_dir/config-1) :

SmartCell ZX # 

Backup file is valid.

Restoring a backup file will completely replace any data stored in the flash. 

Are you sure this is what you want to do? 

Confirm(y/n)?: y

SmartCell ZX # 

You must reboot the switch for the 

 to take effect.

ATM ROUTING

The SmartCell 6A000 default routing protocol is PNNI version 1.0. PNNI provides automatic and dynamic 
connectivity among all PNNI nodes within the same peer group. For purposes of interoperability, however, the 
SmartCell 6A000 also supports these additional ATM routing protocols:

IISP — Use to connect with devices that do not support PNNI

UNI — Use to connect end stations (also to connect devices whose implementation of ILMI is 

incompatible with the SmartCell 6A000)

Both IISP and UNI routes are created and modified using the

 command. 

The proper route type is determined by the SmartCell 6A000 through interface 
signaling information.

4.2.1

Creating an IISP Route

Use the 

 command to create an IISP route that links the SmartCell 6A000 to a device that supports only 

IISP routing. For example,

Physically connect port 

 of the SmartCell 6A000 to the IISP device.

Enter 

 to determine the net prefix of port 

 on the SmartCell 6A000:

SmartCell ZX # show netprefix b2

Port      NetPrefix

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

B2        39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:41:80

SmartCell ZX #

Determine the address of the IISP device. (For this example, this could be a port address, we use 
52:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:51:80)
