    Welcome to the SmartCell 6A000 Installation and Setup Manual. The SmartCell 6A000 ATM switch is a module that fits into the SmartSwitch 6000 chassis. You can install as many as five SmartCell 6A000 switches into a SmartSwitch 6000 chassis (using the 6C305-3 power supply). The module is hot swap-able, meaning that you can install and remove it without turning off or disconnecting the chassis.

  • Page 17: Switch Installation

    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.

    Inspecting the Switch Figure 2-1 6A000-04 and 6A000-02 front panels Inspect the switch and make certain that its configuration corresponds to what was ordered. Also, make certain that the input/output modules (IOMs) are of the correct type and number (See Table 2-1).

  • Page 19: Installing The Switch

    The SmartSwitch 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 five switch modules in each chassis (using the 6C205-3 power supply). In this configuration, the SmartSwitch 6A000 modules provide up to 75 user ports. Modules should be connected with inter-module trunks if traffic must cross between modules.
  • Page 20 Slide the switch into the chassis. The switch module obscures the view of the tracks at the bottom of the chassis, so be sure to look at that area as you begin to slide the switch into the chassis. Close the ejectors. The installation is complete.

    3 CONFIGURING THE SWITCH SWITCH CONFIGURATION Initial configuration of your SmartSwitch 6A000 consists of setting the name of the switch, its Ethernet IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Once this is done, the switch is reachable for additional configuration and administration through its Ethernet interface.

    Start the dumb terminal or PC and its terminal emulation software; then turn on the SmartSwitch 6A000 switch. As the SmartSwitch 6A000 powers up, a series of diagnostic messages appears on the terminal’s screen. After the diagnostics are finished, the switch prompts for a password. Enter the default password, “ .” admin The switch prompts for the information necessary to make the switch accessible through your Ethernet network.

SmartSwitch ATM Administrator arrives with two user accounts set up. These accounts are described in Table 4-1.

  • Page 38: Managing Your Atm Network

    MANAGING YOUR ATM NETWORK SmartSwitch ATM Administrator can connect to your ATM switches through either the switch’s Ethernet interface or through a direct ATM connection to one of the ATM switches. In the later case, your NMS workstation must contain an ATM network adapter card.

  • Page 39: Ethernet Connectivity

    Ethernet may pose connectivity challenges. For example, in figure Figure 4-6, two ATM switches are displayed as generic switch icons (gray boxes, identified by the IP address of their LANE client). In this case, each of these generic switches are not connected to the Ethernet network, but are connected to the other switches through ATM only.

  • Page 40: Figure 4-6 Switches That Atm Administrator Cannot Reach Through Ethernet

    Figure 4-7 is a diagram of the ATM and Ethernet connectivity of the network map shown in Figure 4-6. Notice that the generic switches, 90.1.1.20 (Switch 4) and 90.1.1.24 (Switch 5), are not connected to the Ethernet network. As a result, switches 4 and 5 do not have direct access to the NMS, and the NMS (using an Ethernet connection) does not know how to reach the subnet 90.0.0.0, which is Switches 4 and 5’s ELAN.
  • Page 41 ATM networks. For instance, in Figure 4-8, after the route is added to the NMS, a route must be added to Switch 4 that specifies Switch 1’s LANE client as the gateway to the Ethernet network. To add the route on Switch 4, use the...
