    Welcome to the SmartSwitch 9A100 Installation and Setup Manual. The SmartSwitch 9A100 ATM switch is a module that fits into the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis. You can install up to seven SmartSwitch 9A100 switches into a 14-slot SmartSwitch 9000 chassis; or up to three switches into a 6-slot chassis. The module is hot swap-able, meaning that you can install and remove it without turning off or disconnecting the chassis.

  • 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: Figure 4-5 Atm Administrator Connected Through Nms-Specific Elan

    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.
