ATM Routing

4.

Enter the

add ATMRoute

command to create a static route to the IISP device:

SmartSwitch # add atmroute

PortNumber(A1) : b2

AtmAddress() : 52:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:51:80

PrefixLength(104) :

Index(0) :

Type(Internal) :exterior

Scope(0) :

MetricsTag(0) :

SmartSwitch #

Note

The

add ATMRoute

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

the route. For more on metrics and metric tags, see Section 4.2.3 “Route Metrics.”

5.

Enter the

show ATMRoute

command to determine whether the route was created:

SmartSwitch # show atmroute

AddressNumber(ALL) :

No. Port Route Address Type Protocol

The route to the IISP device appears on the last line (Route No. 7).

6.

Create a route on the IISP device that refers to the net prefix
(

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

) of port

b2

on the SmartSwitch 9A100.

Note

For IISP routes to work with certain devices, ILMI may also need to be disabled
on the SmartSwitch 9A100. Use the

set PortConfig

command to disable ILMI

on the SmartSwitch 9A100 on a per-port basis.

IISP Routing Considerations

When creating routes between the SmartSwitch 9A100 (running PNNI) and IISP devices, the criteria that characterize
IISP connectivity still apply. To reach a SmartSwitch 9A100 within the PNNI domain, the IISP device must have a
configured route that points directly to a port on the target SmartSwitch 9A100. Conversely, there must be a
SmartCell 9A100 that has a direct physical link (and a route over that link) to the IISP device. The following two
examples illustrate this point.

In Figure 4-1 Switch A is an IISP device connected to the PNNI domain through Switch B. Switch A contains an LEC,
which is a member of an ELAN whose LECS is on Switch C (within the PNNI domain). If the LEC on Switch A is to
make contact with the LECS on Switch C, Switch A must contain an IISP route (denoted by the dotted line) directly
to switch C. Furthermore, Switch B must contain a route to switch A over the physical link that connects the two
switches.
