Additional Switch
Configuration
The Integrated Fast Setup configures a minimum set of network
parameters - enough to get you started.
If you need to make changes or to perform additional configuration
tasks, use individual items of the LMA menus. These are all described in
the
CoreBuilder 7000 Family ATM Switches User Guide.
Some additional configuration tasks might be:
Configuring SVCs
CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switches use standard UNI 3.0 or 3.1
switched virtual channel (SVC). SVC mode can be used when CoreBuilder
is in a backbone or workgroup topology, with PVC used whenever
necessary. ILMI enables automatic address registration for SVC. Addresses
can be registered manually via the LMA menus
Setting the Mode
The CoreBuilder will run UNI 3.0 SVC by default. You can work in UNI 3.1
by choosing this option in the signalling setup menu.
Setting Network Prefix and ATM Addresses
ATM addresses are essential for establishing a connection using SVC.
Most devices that support SVC, also support automatic address
registration through the ILMI protocol.
A network prefix is essential for address registration to be executed. Refer
to
CoreBuilder 7000 Family ATM Switches User Guide
for proper network
prefix setting.
For connectivity with devices that do not support ILMI, ATM addresses
can be set manually using the Add ATM address function under ATM
address setup in the Administration Console menus.
Configuring a PVC
Permanent Virtual Channels (PVC) can be used to connect to devices that
do not support switched virtual channels (SVC) standard protocols. In the
CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch you can create point-to-point (P2P)
and point-to-multipoint (P2M) connections. Use the Setup and
Configuration Connections menu, to create a PVC call, PTP or PTM. You
can also create an out VC in a PTM call, release a PVC call, release an out
