UNI ROUTES

Use the

add atmroute

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 a 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 example works with any ATM SmartSwitch, however, the port numbering may be different (for instance

instead of

7A2

Enter the

show netprefix

command to obtain the netprefix of port 7A2:

SmartSwitch # show netprefix

PortNumber(ALL) : 7a2

Port# NetPrefix

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

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

SmartSwitch #

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

add atmroute

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

new ATM address.

SmartSwitch # 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

Note

Always set the

Type

parameter of the

add atmroute

command to

internal

(the

default) for UNI routes. This indicates that the route is internal to the PNNI
domain.

Note

The

add atmroute

command allows you to specify a set of metrics to be used with

the route. Metrics are created using the

add pnnimetric

command, and are

assigned to routes by metric tag numbers. By setting the appropriate
administrative weights within metrics, it’s possible to create parallel load-sharing
or fail-over routes. For more information about metrics, administrative weights,
and metric tags, see Section 4.4, Route Metrics.
