Static Route Configuration
Note: It is recommended that you use PNNI. use static routes only if they are
necessary.
Most configurations enable the Cajun A500 to use ILMI to establish routes through the
network. Certain configurations, however, may require configuration of static routes or
Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs). The following are some guidelines to help you
determine when manual route configuration is necessary:
U Systems using the ILMI protocol to establish communication with the Cajun A500
typically do not require any manual route configuration.
U Systems that do use signaling, but do not use the ILMI protocol to establish
communication with the Cajun A500 typically use static routes.
U Systems that do not support signaling, require permanent virtual circuits.
