ROUTER OVERVIEW
The ATLAS router uses the integral 10BaseT Ethernet port to transmit local area
network (LAN) traffic over the wide area network (WAN) to a remote LAN. By
integrating the router into the network access device, you benefit from the cost
savings of not requiring an external router. Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 illustrate a
conversion from an application with external routers to one using integral routers
within ADTRAN products.

Chapter 2Technology Overview
IP ROUTING
Internet Protocol (IP) routing is performed at layer 3 of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model. (Refer to the Frame Relay User Manual for a description of the
OSI model.) The routing process determines the optimal path for data packets to
travel and then moves the data packets along that path. Routers exchange information about paths or routes that reach additional LAN segments. This exchange
of routing information allows a router to build a detailed knowledge of the network topology. Criteria for se lecting the best path can include such items as distance, number of hops (servers or routers), and cost of the transportation media.
ATLAS supports Routing Information Protocol (RIP), a protocol based on hops.
Each route has a set number of hops (routers or servers) that it must travel
through to reach a final destination. If a new route to a host address that has a
fewer number of hops is learned, it becomes the preferred route. When a new
route is learned, the router increments the hop count by one and immediately
broadcasts the new route over the other interfaces. To prevent routing loops, RIP
defines a hop count of 16 as an infinite or unreachable route.

OVERVIEW
The Router Upgrade provides remote connectivity of LANs within an ATLAS—
from LAN-to-WAN connection or from WAN-to-WAN connection. The Router
Upgrade is included as part of the frame r elay upgrade a nd includes an IP Router.
TERMINAL MENU STRUCTURE
The ATLAS uses hierarchical menus to access all of its features. The top-most
menu level leads to submenus which are grouped by functionality. All menu
items display in the terminal window.
Refer to the ATLAS User Manual for detailed instructions on how to navigate
through the terminal me nu.
When the Router Option is enabled, the Router Menu is added to the main termi-
nal menu (see Figure 3-1). All routing functions within ATLAS are configured
and monitored from the Router Menu.

Atlas sends Inverse ARP packets in order to determine the IP address on
the other end of the virtual circuit. If the Inverse ARP packet is
responded to, a route is placed in the IP route table.When this field is
set to ENABLE, ATLAS dynamically sends Inverse ARP packets to determine the IP address on the other end of the virtual circuit. When an
Inverse ARP packet is not responded to, a route is placed in the IP route
table.
ATLAS responds to Inverse ARP requests with its IP address for the
requested DLCI. If set to DISABLE, ATLAS does not generate Inverse ARP
request packets. In this case, the Far-End Address parameter may be
used to statically assign a route address (see Far-End Address on page
3-8).
Far-End Address

The Far-End IP Address field is only present for frame-relay network interfaces,
and it is only selectable when Inverse ARP is disabled. The IP address of the
device on the other end of the virtual circuit may be specified. A static route to
the far-end network will be added using the interface Subnet-Mask if nonzero. If
0.0.0.0 has been specified for the Subnet-Mask, a default subnet mask is used based
on the class of the Far-End Address. (See also Subnet Mask on page 3-7.)

Example 1: IP Routing Network—ATLAS as the Central-Site Router
Example 1 (see Figure 4-2) depicts a typical IP routing network using an ATLAS
as the central-site router. (This ATLAS unit is the ATLAS 800
relay upgrade.) The central-site ATLAS terminates a full T1 (F-T1) frame relay
connection from the XYZ service provider, and the internal router terminates the
IP traffic. A TSU 100e with a router module is located at each of the two remote
sites. To re-create this example, follow the five-step process discussed below.
