This chapter provides information about the Avaya M770 ATM Switch, and the features that this software release supports. Note: This User Guide describes only the ATM functionality of the Avaya M770 chassis. • Information about the Avaya M770 chassis’ safety considerations, architecture, main chassis control panel, M-SPV/M-SPX/M-SPS supervisor modules, power supplies and fans is available in the Avaya M770 User Guide.
Introduction Master Agent and Sub Agent The M770 ATM Switch is a fully distributed ATM switch. Each module has its own switching and CPU power. In order to present the switch as a single and united entity, one module is automatically elected as a Master Agent while the other modules are Sub Agents.

Boot Loader, see Appendix B Using BOOT Loader. If the M770 ATM Switch passes all the self-tests, it will load the main image from flash memory and you can manage the M770 ATM Switch.
To access an attached device or switch, set up static routing entries to switches that do not support PNNI and to any attached devices that do not support ILMI. For more information on setting up a routing table on an M770 ATM Switch, see Chapter 9, “Managing Static Routing”.
ELAN. For more information about managing the Management LEC, see Chapter 11. You will need to set the IP address of the M770 ATM Switch to BOOTP (this is the default IP setting for a new M770 ATM Switch). The M770 ATM Switch will then attempt to learn its IP address using the BOOTP protocol.
If you are attaching an end-station or an edge device that supports ILMI to an Avaya M770 then you must ensure that the virtual port on the M770 ATM Switch is using its default configuration. For a list of the default port settings, see Appendix A, “Default Settings on a New Avaya M770 ATM Switch”.
For example, if you are connecting an Avaya M400 Gate Switch LSA+ module which does not support ILMI, to port 8.4.0 on the M770 ATM Switch, you should configure port 8.4.0 on the M770 ATM Switch by performing the following steps: M15-155s8:/>vport disable 8.4.0...
If you are attaching another ATM switch that doesn’t support PNNI, you must configure a route to that switch. For example, if you are connecting a Collage 740 to port 8.5.0 on the M770 ATM Switch, you should configure the static routing table by performing the following steps: (assume that the partial ATM prefix of the Collage 740 is 39.04)
For example, if you are connecting an Avaya M400 Gate Switch LSA+ module to port 8.4.0 on the M770 ATM Switch, you should configure the static routing by performing the following steps: [assume that the ATM address of the LSA+ is 39.01.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.40.od.64.02.de.00]...
For information about changing a LECS priority on the M770 ATM Switch, see Chapter 14, Managing the LECS. If the M770 ATM Switch is to host a local LECS then you will need to consider the ELANs that the LECS will coordinate.
You have the ability to setup redundant LANE services on every module. On each M770 ATM switch that contains N modules, you have the flexibility to configure N resilient LECS hosting ELANs that can be redundant N times. LANE redundancy is not just switch wide, but network wide.

The first LES registered to an ELAN determines the LUNI 2.0 capability of the entire ELAN. A LUNI 1.0 client (LEC) can still register to a LUNI 2.0 server (LES) since the LUNI 2.0 LES can send LUNI 1.0 frames.
M770 ATM Switch’s management LEC is currently joined to an ELAN that is accessible from the network management station, and the IP address of the switch has been set. However, you can access the M770 ATM Switch via Telnet to the M-SPV/M-SPX/M-SPS (using an Ethernet connection).
How the Command-line Interface Works The command-line interface provides a set of commands that you can use to configure the M770 ATM Switch. The commands are arranged in a hierarchy such that related commands are grouped together in a single functional group. A functional group can also contain one or more functional groups, and so forth.
The hierarchy of the commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) can be obtained at any time by typing tree. The tree command can be used at the prompt of any functional group to view the sub-commands of the group. Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide...

M770 ATM Switch management LEC, or there is a route from the BOOTP server to the ELAN. You will need to set the IP address of the M770 ATM Switch to BOOTP (this is the default IP setting for a new M770 ATM Switch). The M770 ATM Switch will then attempt to learn its IP address using the BOOTP protocol.
The End System Identifier (ESI), also referred to as the Burnt-In Address (BIA), is the factory-assigned world-wide unique address for the switch. If the management LEC on the M770 ATM Switch is joined to an Ethernet ELAN, its MAC address will default to the ESI (Ethernet format).
Managing Miscellaneous Commands Viewing or changing the switch prefix When a M770 ATM Switch with a blank EEROM is powered up, a default prefix is generated and stored in the EEROM. The default prefix is 39.00.00.00.00.00.00.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx where x is the MAC address of the switch.

You must provide the M770 ATM Switch with the IP address of a time server or set the M770 ATM Switch to discover the server on the network by broadcasting requests. To view the time received from the time server, use the system time command (refer to Chapter 17, “Managing System Commands”...
Managing Miscellaneous Commands Using PING The M770 ATM Switch allows you to PING an IP address. The M770 ATM Switch will send one Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to the address each second until you press CTRL-C. Whenever the remote device responds, the time taken to respond is displayed in milliseconds.
Deleting an entry from the Avaya M770 ATM Switch’s IP ARP cache When you delete an entry from a M770 ATM Switch IP ARP cache that still has IP traffic on it, there will be a short delay while the ARP process finds the remote host and the IP address is added to the ARP cache again.

You can view information about all of the physical ports. When a module is installed in the M770 ATM Switch, default physical ports are created for all of its ports. Each of these default physical ports is assigned a physical port id. The physical port id consists of the slot number in which the module is installed and the port number.
Note: When you enter M4-DS3s8:/> pport show for the DS3 module you will see all of the parameters displayed in the Table above, with information at the bottom of the table for several additional Physical Port parameters displayed only for DS3 modules.

“Disabling a virtual port” on page 65. Disabling ILMI polling on a virtual port If an attached end-station does not support ILMI polling, the M770 ATM Switch will not poll to ensure the integrity of the link. However, if the end-station does support ILMI polling but is not responding to polls in time, the virtual port will not become operational at all or be intermittent.
Parameters: The virtual port in the form <slot>.<port>.<virtual port number>. <vport id> ILMI polling is a mechanism used by the M770 ATM Switch to poll ensure that the same device is still attached. Since ILMI polling is an enhancement to ILMI, ILMI must already be enabled.
To reset the ILMI version on the virtual port, use the vport reset ilmiver command. Command: M15-155s8:/>vport reset ilmiver <vport id> Example: M15-155s8:/>vport reset ilmiver 8.1.0 Parameters: The virtual port in the form <slot>.<port>.<virtual port number>. <vport id> Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide...

Chapter 13 LANE Services This chapter describes the features of the LANE Services in an Avaya M770 ATM Switch. LANE Components in an Avaya M770 ATM Switch Each module in the Avaya M770 ATM Switch can host one LECS and multiple combined LES and BUS.
All M770 LES will automatically register with the LECS. The benefit of this is that you do not have to supply the LES address when registering with a M770 LES, and if a M770 LES is re-located you do not have to re-configure the LECS with the new LES address.
LECS on the network, see Displaying a resilient LECS election candidate in Chapter 14 Managing the LECS. The example below shows the M770 ATM Switch across a third party switch. It is recommended that if you have a M770 ATM Switch connected via a third party switch, then that M770 ATM Switch should not host a resilient LECS.
Chapter 13 LANE Services Figure 13.1 M770 ATM Switches connected via third party switch Hosts a resilient LECS Looking for a remote LECS at WKA (standby mode) switch 4 3rd party switch M770 ATM Switch switch 2 switch 2 PNNI Routing...
By default, a LES in M770 ATM switch has LUNI 2.0 capability. This means that when it registers to an M770 ATM LECS, it will try to determine that the entire ELAN will be LUNI 2.0 capable (if the LECS LUNI 2.0 was 'auto', and if this LES was registered first, it will actually determine that).
LANE Services Proprietary Distributed LANE Services The M770 ATM Switch LECS supports a proprietary system for a distributed LES/ BUS in advance of implementing LANE version 2. This will enable not only resiliency of the ELAN but will also increase the number of clients (LECs) that can be supported per ELAN on multiple modules (up to 2,500 LECs per ELAN).
The Management LEC in an Avaya M770 ATM Switch • The M770 ATM Switch has one management LEC for managing the M770 ATM Switch. It is located on the Master agent module in the switch and supports several high-level protocols such as: —...
The LECS type can be configured as a: • Local Simple LECS This will force all local LECs to use the local LECS in the M770 ATM Switch. • Local Resilient LECS This resilient LECS will enter the election and will need to be elected to become the active elected LECS.
Chapter 14 Managing the LECS If the M770 ATM Switch is looking for a remote LECS then it can be configured to use a LECS that is advertising one of the following addresses: • The WKA • A specific ATM address on the network.
Managing the LECS Changing the location of the LECS You can configure the LECS in a M770 ATM Switch to be either local or remote. If you configure a local LECS then you can specify it to be advertised as either a simple LECS or a resilient LECS.
Module will seek a remote LECS, that is advertising the <address> specific ATM address on the network. Note: Changing the LECS location may disrupt all LANE connections and any change will take effect immediately. Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide...
By default all resilient LECSes when created are assigned a priority of 128. Avaya recommends that you set the priority of one of the resilient LECS to have a higher priority than the others. This will ensure that this LECS will be elected as the active LECS.
Managing the LECS Managing Resilient LECS Candidates Note: If you are not planning to use PNNI routing or want the M770 ATM Switch switches in the third party environments to host a resilient LECS, contact Avaya Technical Support. They can provide you with further information on what configuration is required, depending on your third party switch, to get LECS redundancy on your M770 ATM Switch switches.
You can create a communication connection to a remote resilient LECS by specifying its election protocol end-point address. This is only necessary when using a 3rd party switch. Note: Remote resilient LECS candidates should only be created in third party environments. Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide...

Viewing default ELANs When a LEC contacts the LECS, it usually specifies the ELAN name or the ELAN type that it wants to join. You can define up to 64 different ELAN names in an M770 ATM Switch LECS. You can define default ELANs for switches hosting a local LECS. These are the ELANs that a LEC should join if it only specifies the ELAN type and not the name of an ELAN.

A fatal system exception occurs when the CPU detects an error such as a division by zero, or accesses to non-existent memory. A fatal exception causes the M770 ATM Switch to reboot. A breakpoint is a special type of exception which is invoked by the M770 ATM Switch software when it detects an internal inconsistency.
NOTE: Changes will take effect only after a module reset. Do you want to continue (Y/N)?y Note: To return the entire switch to its factory defaults, type system default on each of the modules and afterwards perform a reset to the entire switch. Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide...
It is highly recommended that you use the command to reboot a system reboot module in the M770 ATM Switch or the entire switch, instead of using the reset button. This is because the command first flushes any outstanding system reboot configuration updates to the non-volatile memory, whereas pressing the reset button may cause configuration information to be lost.
Chapter 17 Managing System Commands Manually changing the date or time on an Avaya M770 ATM Switch You can manually change the date or time on the switch. You do not have to enter both the date and time, only the parameter that you wish to change. Note that the date and time will be reset, when you reboot the switch.

• Priority 16 is assigned to fatal events that cause the M770 ATM Switch to reboot. Note: The event log is a temporary file, and will not be saved when the M770 ATM Switch is restarted. Displaying or setting the event logging priority level All events in the M770 ATM Switch are assigned a priority level between 1 and 16, in order of severity.
You can specify a priority level for event traps that will be dispatched. Once you have assigned a priority level, all event traps assigned with this priority, or higher, that occur on the switch will be reported. By default, all events on the M770 ATM Switch are dispatched as traps.
You can list the 100 most recent event messages that have been logged on the Avaya M770. The most recent event is displayed first. Note: This event log will not be saved when the M770 ATM Switch is restarted. To display any logged events, use the event show command.
Upgrading Avaya M770 ATM Switch Software This chapter describes how to use the command-line interface to upgrade the software on a module. For information about how to access and use the Avaya M770 ATM Switch command-line interface, see Chapter 3, “How to Use the Command-line Interface”.
Boot loader will be used on the next reboot. The M770 ATM module flash memory can hold a maximum of two Main S/W versions and two Boot loader versions. This means that before you can TFTP a new Main or Boot loader software version, there can only be one of that type in flash memory.
Note: It is recommended that all modules in the M770 ATM switch use the same software version. To check which software is currently running on the ATM module, use the command version.

Chapter 20 Signaling Security (Access Control) Commands This part lists and describes the CLI commands of the Avaya M770 ATM switch's Signaling Security (Access Control) feature. The purpose of the Signaling Security feature is to filter out calls during the setup phase at the signaling level. The filtering is based on the source/destination ATM addresses present in the call setup.
For common information related to the CLI see Chapter 3, “How to Use the Command-line Interface”. What CLI Scripts Are Until version 2.1 of the Avaya M770 ATM Switch, there were several ways to access the Command-line interface of the M770 ATM Switch. These methods include: •...
The second string, NAME, specifies name, which will appear as the script file's name in the M770 ATM Flash File System. The <file-name> is be a set of up to 32 printable ASCII characters, which doesn't contain white spaces. The name is case-sensitive.
Download the script file to the file system of this module, as described above. Make sure that the download succeeded. Note: A file download may fail due to the lack of contiguous memory in the Avaya M770 ATM switch file system or due to there being more than 15 files (the maximum allowed) in the flash memory file system.
Stopping a CLI Script You can abort a running script execution using the script stop command. Note: The script will stop only when currently executed script command is finished. Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide...
Done Running a CLI script on a multiple modules It is possible to run the same command script on several or all modules of the M770 ATM switch simultaneously. Simultaneous execution of a script can significantly minimize effort needed for initial configuration of switch containing many modules.
All types of “system download” and “system upload” when the script run command is invoked on multiple modules • Recursive running of the same script will most probably cause crash of the modules' software. Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide...

Appendix F Routing and Signalling Concepts This chapter describes how the Avaya M770 ATM Switch switches ATM cells through an ATM network, and provides background information about the concepts of routing and signalling. Switching ATM cells through the ATM network There are two types of connection that can be used to switch ATM cells through an ATM network.
Physical Link Virtual Circuits Virtual Ports To support terminating virtual paths, the M770 ATM Switch uses virtual ports. Virtual ports are typically used for Virtual Port Muxing, or tunnelling, through public networks. A physical port contains several virtual ports and each virtual port can be considered a port in its own right.
• Address registration. Setting up SVCs The M770 ATM Switch supports UNI 3.0, 3.1 and 4.0 signalling for connection setup between an end-station and a switch. IISP and PNNI 1.0 signalling are used for inter-switch connection. When a connection setup request is transmitted by an end-station using the UNI signalling protocol, the M770 ATM Switch will use the ATM address of the called party and look up the longest matching addresses in its internal routing table.
Page 324
Note: A cell’s VPI and VCI are of local significance only. They identify the cell as being associated with a particular virtual circuit through a single link. When the M770 ATM Switch receives a cell, it examines the ATM cell header to determine the VPI/VCI on which the cell was transmitted. Using this information, the M770 ATM Switch determines the destination port and appropriate VPI/VCI for the transmission of the ATM cell.
