Chapter 1. Introduction Part 0 8265 Switch Overview The IBM 8265 Nways ATM Switch is a modular chassis that provides high flexibility in designing and configuring ATM networks. The IBM 8265 is fully compatible with existing IBM 8260- and IBM 8285-based ATM networks, and allows the installation of 8265 and 8260 ATM media modules.
Switch Characteristics The IBM 8265 Nways ATM Switch has the following characteristics: Internetworking Technology 8265 internetworking solutions provide connectivity between internal networks, and connectivity from internal networks to ATM and WAN backbones. The internetworking capabilities of the 8265 system combine with the flexibility of port-switching media modules to deliver bandwidth on demand for existing LANs.

After installing the module, you must configure it for operation by entering a series of commands from the CPSW module console. You cannot install a media module in slot 12 if a CPSW module is installed in slots 11-12. IBM 8265: Product Description...
Understanding 8265 Management The management of the 8265 is achieved in four areas: Chassis Management • Network Management • Traffic Management • Code Management. • Chassis Management The 8265’s controller module provides management of the power and cooling subsystems. The 8265 has one controller module as standard, and a second controller module can be installed as a backup in case of failure.
5697-B12 ® UNIX Version 2 Contact your IBM representative for information on the latest versions of these, and other, network management programs for the 8265. Traffic Management The 8265 advanced traffic management functions are distributed on each 8265 module. The key functions are: Priority queues per Quality of Service: •...
Traffic shaping per Virtual Path: • Traffic shaping regulates traffic to a lower rate than the line speed, and is active for incoming and outgoing traffic. The control at the Virtual Path (VP) level means that the 8265 can have different shaping values for different VPs that are active on the same port.
Access to the 8265 ATM network is provided for all types of ATM applications. When an ATM station connects to the 8265 switch, it must register its address through ILMI. The network administrator can specify which ATM address are allowed access. IBM 8265: Product Description...
CPSW module. As a result, the 8265 ATM subsystem uses a distributed control system which offers the following advantages: Each ATM module benefits from the fault-tolerant design of the IBM 8265 chassis. • Continued ATM network operation is ensured in case of a failure at a single point •...

– Allows traffic of different QOS to be split over different virtual paths sharing the same physical ATM interface. This is a key function when connecting to WAN ATM carrier services or to a WAN ATM switch, such as the IBM Nways 2220 Broadband Switch.
Management Plane • Access Control – Unauthorized users are prevented from accessing the network. • Network Management – Chassis Monitoring This feature allows the network administrator to monitor the 8265 environment parameters (power supplies, inventory, temperature) via the Control Point and Switch module. Environment parameters can be accessed either via the console or via Telnet.
ATM MIB defined in the V3.0 UNI Specification of the ATM Forum. The AToMIB is defined by the IETF and by the IBM extensions. It can be driven by SNMP managers, such as IBM NetView for AIX. The IBM ATM management application, Nways Campus Manager - ATM, can be used by a LAN administrator to fine-tune the system.
Media Modules Media modules belong to the Nways family and can be used in the 8265 switch to: • Send and receive data from an ATM subsystem in another 8265 switch • Attach high capacity workstations and servers that function in ATM mode. The media modules interface to the 8265 switch by means of the Control Point and Switch (CPSW) module.
