5. Connect the workstations to their respective ports.
6. Configure the workstations for the same subnet and VPCI/VCI pair = 0/101.
The broadcasting workstation on port 7a1 can send traffic to the receiving workstations on ports 7a2 , 7a3 , and 7a4 .
5.1.3 Connecting to Local Switch Client Through a PVC
All PVC connections to an ATM SmartSwitch local client use the CPU port. On a SmartSwitch 6500, this port is either
7B4 or 8B4 depending on the slot in which the master TSM/CPU module resides. Because of the SmartSwitch 6500’s
redundancy capability, the CPU port should always be designated as CPU . Using CPU assures that the PVC connects to
the active CPU in the event of fail-over. On all other SmartSwitch ATM switches (2500, 6A000, or 9A100), the CPU
port is
B4 , however, as with the SmartSwitch 6500, the value CPU can also be used.
Follow these instructions to connect an end node to an ATM SmartSwitch’s local client through a point-to-point PVC.
1. Use add pvc to create the PVC.
SmartSwitch # add pvc
ConnType(PTP) :
Port-1-Number() : 7a1
Port-1-VPCI() : 0
Port-1-VCI() : 100
Port-2-Number() : cpu — The CPU port
Port-2-VPCI() : 0
Port-2-VCI() : 101
Port1-to-Port2TrafficDescriptorIndex() : 2
Port2-to-Port1TrafficDescriptorIndex() : 2

2. Use add ipatmclient to create an IP over ATM local client.
SmartSwitch # add ipatmclient
ClientNumber(0) : 2 — Set client number 2
ServerType(None) : local — ARP server is on the switch
ServerAddress() :
IPAddress() : 100.1.1.0
NetMask(255.0.0.0) :
MTU(9180) :
SmartSwitch #
3. Use add ipatmpvc to associate the end node’s IP address with the PVC.
SmartSwitch # add ipatmpvc
ClientNumber(0) : 2 — Specify local client number
DestinationVPCI(0) :
DestinationVCI(33) : 101 —VCI to CPU port was specified as 101

4. Connect the end node to port 7a1 of the ATM SmartSwitch.
