This guide is for Cabletron Systems service personnel and QUALIFIED customer

maintenance personnel who are familiar with installing networking systems, and have

a working knowledge of ATM networks, and the use of MIBs to conﬁgure network

devices.

The information contained in this supplement supersedes ANY and ALL information

regarding PVCs described in the

9A686-04/9A656-04 Conﬁguration Guide

Unless noted otherwise, the information contained in this supplement pertains to both

the 9A686-04 and the 9A656-04.

CAUTION

Throughout this document, the user is often instructed to verify the settings conﬁgured

in the previous step. It is highly recommended the user perform these veriﬁcation

steps.This will assist the user in determining where problems may have occurred if the

PVC does not become operational.

ILMI 4.0 and the SmartSwitch 9500 System

By default, the SmartSwitch 9500 is an SVC-only switch. This means that noVPI/VCI pairs are reserved

for PVCs. Before the user can create a PVC, the default ILMI settings must be changed to reserve

VPI/VCI pairs for PVC use.

Local management of the SmartSwitch 9500 allows the user to specify minimum and maximum values

for VCI and VPIs for all SVCs and SPVCs that the SmartSwitch 9500 will use while establishing

connections. Table 1 provides the default settings ILMI uses when ﬁrst connected to the ATM network.

Table 2 displays the available range of VCI/VPI pairs that may be conﬁgured for requested connections.

Table 1 Default Minimum and Maximum VCI andVPIValues for SVCs and SVPCs

Table 2 Minimum and Maximum VCI andVPI Ranges

The main purpose of the ILMI Conﬁguration Menu screen is to limit the range ofVPI/VCI pairs for SVC

connections. In the default setting, there are no VPI/VCI pairs reserved for PVCs. Refer to Figure 1.

Figure 1 Default ILMI Settings

Figure 1 displays the default settings of ILMI for the 9A686-04 and 9A656-04. The entire square

represents the totalVPI/VCI range for allATM Connections. This provides a VCI range of 0 through 16K

and aVPI range of 0 through 4095.VCI values 0 through 32 are reserved by theATM Forum, as shown in

Figure 1. By default, the 9A686-04 and 9A656-04 are an SVC only switch. This allows SVCs to be

created with a VCI value between 32 and 16k. In addition, the default setting allows SVCs to use the

entire VPI range of 0 through 4095. The ILMI Conﬁguration screen allows the user to either decrease or

increase the reserved VCI or VPI range that SVCs may use. Refer to Figure 3.

Figure 3 provides an example of a user-deﬁned ILMI conﬁguration. In this example the user has

increased the minimum VCI value for SVCCs from the default value of 33 to 200. The maximum VPI

value for SVCCs has been set to 3, and the maximum VPI value for SVPCs has been set to 4. This limits

the range for SVCCs and SVPCs to the settings displayed in Figure 3.

Persistence

The procedures described in this document, by default, create permanent conﬁgurations for the interface

on which they were performed, which are deﬁned as “persistent” conﬁgurations. These conﬁgurable

options are performed on an interface by interface basis via theAToM MIB. Before performing any of

these conﬁgurations, be aware that the only way to revert these settings to the factory default settings is to

clear NVRAM. Instructions on how to clear NVRAM can be found in the

9A686-04 Hardware and

Installation Guide

and the

9A656-04 Hardware and Installation Guide

. Pressing the RESET button on

the front of the module will NOT restore factory default settings after they have been changed.

Keep in mind that if the user turns off persistence (described later in this document),ALL PVCs created

on this ENTIRE chassis will be lost if ANY module in the SmartSwitch 9500 chassis resets.

CAUTION

Before making any changes to the ILMI Conﬁguration Menu screen, refer to the

following two examples of what can happen if ILMI settings are changed

indiscriminately:

The user sets the MIN SVCC VCI ﬁeld to 2000.However, a third party ATM Uplink

device is attached to this SmartSwitch 9500, and this uplink device only supports a

VCI range of 0 through 1064.In this case, the ATM Uplink device would NOT be able

to establish ANY SVCs with the SmartSwitch 9500.

The user MUST be aware of the

VPI/VCI ranges of ALL devices that connect to this SmartSwitch 9500 before

changing the ILMI parameters

The user sets the MIN CTM SVCC VCI ﬁeld to 500.In this case, the user has allowed

only 11 VCI values to be reserved for SVCs across the CTM backplane of this

SmartSwitch 9500. Be aware that the VCI range for all CTM interfaces is 0 through

511.

If the user sets a value at or above 511 for this ﬁeld, NO SVCs will be

created across the CTM backplane.

Front Panel Interface (Port) Numbering

Read through the following section to learn about the front panel interface numbering scheme used by the

9A686-04 and 9A656-04. An understanding of this numbering scheme is necessary to create a PVC on a

front panel interface.

The 9A686-04 and 9A656-04 use a geographic interface numbering scheme that allows for easy

identiﬁcation of each front panel and backplane interface of each 9A686-04 and 9A656-04 installed in

the SmartSwitch 9500 chassis. Interface numbers are generated as follows:

Slot ##, ANIM ##, Interface ##

Table 3 provides an example of how the interface numbering scheme works. In this example, there is a

SmartSwitch 9500 chassis with ﬁve 9A686-04 modules installed. These modules are installed in slots 1,

3, 7, 11 and 14. Each of these modules are equipped with fourANIM 21/3s. This provides each 9A686-04

and 9A656-04 with 12 front panel interfaces. Refer to Table 3 for a breakdown of the interface numbering

scheme.

CTM (Backplane) Interface Numbering Scheme

Read through the following section to learn about the CTM interface numbering scheme used by the

9A686-04 and 9A656-04. An understanding of this numbering scheme is necessary to create a PVC

across the CTM backplane.

Table 4 through Table 7 provide examples of how the CTM interface numbering scheme works,

depending on when the user has a 9A656-04 or 9A686-04, and if these modules are installed in a 14-slot

or 6-slot SmartSwitch 9500 chassis.

Refer to

Creating a PVC across the CTM Backplane

on page 10 for an example of how a user would use

the CTM backplane interface numbering scheme to create a PVC that traverses the CTM backplane.

Trafﬁc Descriptors for the 9A686-04 and 9A656-04

If the user is creating a PVC for the ﬁrst time, the user must also create a trafﬁc descriptor. A trafﬁc

descriptor proﬁle instructs the two interfaces, or sides, of the PVC as to what type ofATM connection

they will support. For example, in the PVC created later on in this document, the user desires a Variable

Bit Rate (VBR) connection between the two interfaces. In addition, a Peak Cell Rate (PCR) of 1000 cells

a second, and a Sustained Cell Rate (SCR) of 500 cells a second, with a Maximum Burst Size of 75. All

of this information is conﬁgured in the trafﬁc descriptor. Then, when the PVC is created, this trafﬁc

descriptor is assigned to the PVC. This trafﬁc descriptor can then be assigned to any other number of

PVCs that the user requires, or new trafﬁc descriptors that provide different levels of QoS (CBR, ABR,

etc.) may be created. Table 8 provides a detailed listing of the 15 trafﬁc proﬁles supported by the

9A686-04 and 9A656-04.

Creating a PVC across the CTM Backplane

This section provides a basic example of creating a PVC across the CTM backplane. In this case, two

PVCs must be conﬁgured. Refer to Figure 4.

Figure 4 Creating a PVC Across Multiple Modules

In this example, the user created a PVC from port 3 ofANIM 1 of the 9A686-04 installed in slot 1 of the

chassis, to port 1 of ANIM 1 of the 9A686-04 installed in slot 14 of the chassis.

NOTE

The user MUST create at least one trafﬁc descriptor before a PVC can be created.
