    1 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the SmartCell 6A000 User Guide. The SmartCell 6A000 ATM switch is a module that fits into the SmartSwitch 6000 chassis. You can install as many as three SmartCell 6A000 switches into a SmartSwitch 6000 chassis. The module is hot swappable, meaning that you can install and remove it without turning off or disconnecting the chassis.

    INSPECTING THE SWITCH Depending on the configuration ordered, your switch looks similar to one of the units in the drawing in Figure 2-1. The 6A000-04, shown on the left, has four I/O modules. The 6A000-02, shown on the right, has two I/O modules; the empty I/O module positions are covered by metal blanks.

Check the following: Check the labels on operating software diskettes. Make sure they list the software package that was ordered (ZX-SWR-PVC, ZX-SWR-SVC, or ZX-SWR-SVR).

  • Page 21: Installing The Switch

    INSTALLING THE SWITCH The SmartCell 6A000 is hot swappable, meaning that you can install and remove it without turning off or unplugging the SmartSwitch 6000 chassis. You can install as many as three switch modules in each chassis. In this configuration, the SmartCell 6A000 modules provide up to 45 user ports.

    Configuring the Switch CONFIGURING THE SWITCH Initial configuration of your SmartCell 6A000 switch consists of setting the name, Ethernet IP address, and subnet mask. Once these tasks are complete done, the switch can be reached through your Ethernet network for additional configuration and administration.

    Switch Installation and Setup Plug the other end of the UTP cable into the SmartCell 6A000 female RJ-45 jack labeled Terminal, located on the front panel (see Figure 2-5). Connect the switch to your network by plugging a UTP cable into the SmartCell 6A000 female RJ-45 jack labeled Ethernet, located at the lower right of the switch's front panel (see Figure 2-5).

  • Page 26: Using The Console

    Before continuing to Chapter 3, "IP Over ATM and LANE," read the following sections to familiarize yourself with the console of the SmartCell 6A000. USING THE CONSOLE Use the SmartCell 6A000 console interface to configure and manage your switch. The following is a description of the console interface and its operation. 2.5.1 Console Commands For detailed descriptions of console commands, see the SmartCell 6A000/ZX-250 Reference Manual.

  • Page 30: Atm Addressing For Ip Over Atm

    3.1.1 ATM Addressing for IP over ATM The SmartCell 6A000 uses a default form for ATM addresses in IP over ATM. The default format is constructed as follows: netprefix + two zero bytes + IP address of the device (in hex) + a trailing zero byte...

    CONFIGURATION Once your SmartCell 6A000 ATM switch is up and running or you have made extensive changes to the configuration, you should back up the switch configuration. If the flash RAM gets formatted or corrupted, you can restore the switch configuration from the backup file.

  • Page 36: Upgrading Operating Software

    Note UPGRADING OPERATING SOFTWARE You can upgrade the operating software of the SmartCell 6A000 while the switch is running its current software. This procedure is known as a hot upgrade and is accomplished by the When the switch is started (or rebooted), it copies its operating software from flash RAM to the CPU program memory.

  • Page 37: Unsuccessful Update

    SETTING UP ROUTES The SmartCell 6A000 ATM switch supports several types of routing, each used for different purposes. Route protocols supported are: IISP, UNIRoute, and IP routing. command failed. Common causes for failure are command to continue with the upgrade process.

  • Page 38: Iisp Routing

    For example, to set up an IISP route between port A4 on switch SW1 and port A4 of SW2, you would perform the following steps.
  • Page 39 IISP Routes Among Multiple Switches Multiple IISP routes can be set up over a single physical link. Continuing with the example above, a third switch (SW3) is added. Connect a cable between port B1 of SW2 and port B1 of SW3; then add an IISP route between B1 of SW2 and B1 of SW3 (see Figure 4-1).

  • Page 40: Iisp Routes Between Multiple Switches

    A default route is a special IISP route that does not specify the netprefix of the destination port. The correct addressing is worked out using IISP signaling between the SmartCell 6A000 and the device at the other end of the route. The destination of a default IISP route can be a standard (addressed) IISP route or another default IISP route.
  • Page 41 Default IISP routes are used primarily as gateway connections to other LAN segments or to a WAN connection. For instance, a SmartCell 6A000 contains four standard IISP routes and one default IISP route. If a connection is being established whose address does not correspond to one of the four standard IISP routes, the connection is automatically forwarded to the default IISP route.

  • Page 42: Hierarchical Network Design Using Netprefixes And Iisp Routes

    Be careful not to create "ambiguous routes" (that is, routes defined by too few bytes). For instance, if a route is defined within the super-group A-B-C by specifying 11:22 as the destination, a routing loop is created. An additional byte is necessary to specify to which group (A, B, or C) the destination belongs. 4-8 SmartCell 6A000 User Guide 11:22:33 11:22:33:00...

  • Page 43: Uni Routes

    B is always favored for use over A and is used as often as possible, regardless of the fact that it has a smaller metric than A. SigConfig and PortAutoDetect with IISP Routing The SmartCell 6A000 and the device to which it is connected must both use the same signaling type: UNI 3.0 or UNI 3.1. Use modify sigconfig currentinterfacetype device on the other end of the connection.

  • Page 44: Ip Routing

    4.3.3 IP Routing The SmartCell 6A000 switch provides limited IP routing. IP routing allows switches that are not connected directly to Ethernet to communicate with an Ethernet-based network management system (NMS). The connection is made by adding IP routes on the non-connected switches that specify a client on a connected switch as their gateway to the Ethernet.

  • Page 45: Logs And Alarms

    Figure 4-3 IP routing through SW1 for connectivity to the Ethernet network LOGS AND ALARMS This section discusses the log and alarm features, concepts, and the commands provided by the SmartCell 6A000 switch for setting and using the log and alarm options.

  • Page 46: Log Message System

    4.4.1 Log Message System The software modules and submodules of the SmartCell 6A000 switch automatically generate log messages. These messages are stored in the log message buffer, residing in system memory. Messages are conditionally forwarded from the log message buffer to two other buffers: the log trace buffer and the alarm message buffer. You can view log messages directly from the log message buffer.

  • Page 47: Setting Up Pvc Connections

    SETTING UP PVC CONNECTIONS The SmartCell 6A000 supports permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint. Use PVCs to connect devices that do not support SVCs to a switch's local client or through the switch to form a PVC link with other devices.

  • Page 48: Point-To-Point Pvcs

    4.5.1 Point-to-Point PVCs The procedure for setting up a PVC between two end nodes through the SmartCell 6A000 consists of specifying the ports and the virtual path and virtual channel identifiers (VPI and VCI). to create the PVC; specify the ports through which the connection is established and add pvc the VPI/VCI pair to use with each port.

  • Page 54: Call Admission Control Policy

    For instance, if the CAC policy for a port is "conservative," the SmartCell 6A000 allows calls to be established through this port only if available bandwidth on the port either meets or exceeds the amount requested by the source. If there is not enough bandwidth, the port rejects the connection.
