These cell-based daughter cards are designed to be installed into ATM Interface Modules that are inserted into CoreBuilder 9000 chassis slots. Each ATM Interface Module can accommodate two of the following daughter cards in any combination: OC-3c/STM-1, OC-12c/STM-4, and 155 Mbps-over-UTP5.

CoreBuilder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch Characteristics

The OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 daughter cards are available in single-mode or mu lti-mode. An OC-3c/STM-1 card is available with three single-mode ports and one multi-mode port.

You can install up to 11 ATM Interface Modules in the 16-slo t chassi s and up to 5 ATM Interface Modules in the 7-slot chassis and the 8-slot chassis. You can order the ATM Interface Modules as a kit with daughter cards included or, you can order individual daughter cards separately.

Device Management

Traffic Management

You can use the CoreBuilder 90 0 0 ATM Enterprise Switch Local Management Application (LMA) or Transcend

Enterprise Manager (or other SNMP-based net w ork management application) to manage your CoreBuilder 9000 AT M Enterpri se Switch .

The CoreBui lder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch LMA is a character-oriented, menu-driven user interface for perform i ng system-level administration. You operate this console from a terminal (or terminal emulation software) or through a remote terminal protocol, such as Telnet or Remote Login.

For more complete network management, use an external SNMP-based application such as Transcend Enterprise Manager. Transcend provides logical views and control for your network. In addition, it extends the SNMP capabilities of the ATM Enterprise Switch with a common user interface and easy-to-use administrative features that optimize network configuration, oversight, and troubleshooting.

Traffic management in th e CoreBuilder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch is done at two levels:

ATM Networks

The CoreBui lder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch supports the following types of ATM network s:

Classical IP (CLIP) ATM

The CoreBui lder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch is transparent to CLIP and allows you to use CLIP over the ATM network. For a view of th e CoreBuilder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch when CLIP is used over ATM within a network, see Chapter 3, ATM Network Basics in the Operations Guide.

Virtual Networks

The CoreBui lder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch handles virtual networks across the enterprise using ATM and LAN Emulation (LANE). Segments in a virtual network can incorporate legacy LANs and ATM devices using LANE, allowing you to organize network users into logical groups, regardless of their physical location. Using this feature, you can set up workgroups compr ised of members fr om various departments or bu siness units around the enterprise, and centralize servers into server

farms

for better administration. For more informati o n abo ut virtu a l netwo rks, see Chapter 3, ATM Network Basics in the Operations Guide.

Protocols

ATM

This section describes the major standards and protocols used within the CoreBuilder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch and the network applications and topologies that you can use.

The CoreBui lder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch uses ATM technology, including connect ion protocol s, user -to-netwo rk and network-t o-network interfaces. You can directly control all features via devic e management. For more information about ATM, see Chapter 3,

ATM Network Basics

the Operations Guide.

The CoreBuil der 900 0 ATM Enterprise Switch use s numer ous pr ot ocol s to connect to and communicate with other devices in the network. Among the protocols used is the Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI), which is used to connect over the user-to-network interface (UNI) and network-to-network interface (NNI), as well as for address registration. Signalling (Q2931) for Switched Virtual Connection (SVC ) is used for dynamically managing calls. IISP, E-IISP are implemented for multiple switch networks.

The LMA Menu System

The LMA menu system is a set of command menus that are organized in a hierarchical, top-down fashion. Figure 3 shows the menu structure. Each command menu contains a numbered list of menu items. Each menu item has a three-letter mnemonic identifier and a short description of the item. There are two kinds of menu items: commands that display another, lower-level, command menu (

submenu

) and commands that perform a specific administrative task. The submenu command is distinguished by the arrow (

) on the right.

The Main Menu is at the top of the hierarchy. Through it, you access the submenus for the main topics of management such as Platform Configuration , LAN Emulation, an d Co nn e c tio ns. Figure 3 shows the Main Menu and some of its successive submenus.

Selecting Menu

Options

Example — Changing

a Password

To select a menu option, you enter its num be r or its mnemonic identi fier at the prompt symbo l (

) that is displayed below the menu item list. You

need to enter the first unique characters of the mnemonic identifier. The hierarchi c al path from the Main Menu down to the currently

displayed submenu option is displayed in front of the angle bracket prompt. This convention helps you orient yourself in the menu hierarchy.

To illustrate how to work with the menu system, the example in this section changes the read-access password. This example is shown in Figure 3. The following command description guides you through the execution of the command. It specifies the menu sequence to ent er, the parameters to enter and their format, the command r esults, and any system messages. A similar comma nd description format is provided for each command in this manual.

Entering the Menu Sequence

First, enter the menu sequence in the order shown in section A of the “Command Description” on page 18 in the About This Guide section. In this example, you enter the menu item numbers, but you can enter the three-letter mnemonic code instead.

At the Main Menu prompt, enter
