CREATING AN IP OVER ATM VLAN

This section describes implementing IP over ATM on your SmartSwitch 9A100 switch. The following assumptions
are made:
•
The SmartSwitch 9A100 switch will have a client on the IP over ATM VLAN
•
The ARP server will reside on the switch and correspond to the address of the switch client
•
All end nodes (computers, edge devices, and so on) support Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs)
1. Log into the switch, either through the terminal port or through the Ethernet interface by telnet.
Create a client on the switch and assign it as the ARP server for the VLAN.
2.
SmartSwitch # add ipatmclient
ClientNumber(0) : 1
ServerType(NONE) : local
ServerAddress() :
IPAddress() : 90.1.1.1
NetMask(255.0.0.0) : 255.255.255.0
MTU(9180) :
SmartSwitch #
The example above creates a client on the switch, designates the client as the ARP server for the VLAN
( = ), and assigns the client an IP address and subnet mask.
ServerType local
Note The command
appropriate for the IP address. However, if necessary, you can change the subnet
mask to correspond to the strategy employed within your networks.
Never create an IP over ATM VLAN (or an IP over ATM client) with the same
Note
subnet as the SmartSwitch 9A100 Ethernet port.
< the ARP server is assigned to the switch client
< IP address is for example only
< subnet mask is for example only
add ipatmclient
always prompts you with a subnet mask that is
