Uplink Card Installation
This guide shows you how to install:
❑
One of the following uplink cards in the lower PCI slot of the
FORMULA 8200 switch:
— ATM uplink card, model AT-8202
— FDDI uplink card, model AT-8203
❑
The accelerator card in the upper PCI slot
The accelerator card provides improved performance to the uplink card and
switch.
Who Should Use This Guide
This guide is written for technical personnel responsible for installing the
uplink and accelerator cards in the FORMULA 8200 switch, installing the
switch, and connecting devices to its ports. Installers must be familiar with
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and ATM or FDDI technology.
About the ATM Uplink Card
The ATM uplink card connects your Ethernet networks with high-speed and
capacity of ATM networks, providing connectivity between servers,
workgroups, workstations, and ATM backbones.
The ATM uplink card supports the following ATM key functions:
❑
155 Mbps, OC-3c/STM-1 data rate
❑
Switched virtual circuit (SVC) or permanent virtual circuit (PVC)
connections, including trunking and point-to-point (PTOP)
connections
❑
ATM Forum’s LAN Emulation Client (LEC) standard

About the FDDI Uplink Card
❑
RFC 1577 Classical IP (CIP) and ARP over ATM
❑
ATM Forum’s User Network Interface (UNI) 3.0 or 3.1 signaling
standard
❑
ATM Forum’s Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) 1.0
About the FDDI Uplink Card
Note
Contact your supplier for the FDDI uplink card’s availability.
The FDDI uplink card provides fiber optic connectivity between switched
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks an and FDDI backbone network. The
FDDI module supports two types of connectivity:
❑
Single-attachment stations (SAS)
❑
Dual-attachment stations (DAS)
The card also includes an optical bypass connector and LEDs that provide
visual status of the card (Figure 1).

Remote systems can be network file servers, workstations, FDDI concentrators,
switches, or routers running compatible TCP/IP software. The FDDI uplink
module supports IP and ARP packets over FDDI networks, as described in RFC
1390.
The following features are supported by the FDDI uplink module:
❑
Asynchronous LLC frames for downlink bridging
❑
Ethernet Type II, IEEE 802.3 SNAP packets for uplink capability
(protocol sensitive)
❑
Translational bridging between FDDI and Ethernet
❑
IP and ARP frame encapsulation (RFC 1042 and RFC 1390)
❑
IP fragmentation (RFC 791)
❑
802.1d Spanning Tree algorithm
❑
64 CAM entries with aging algorithm for MAC address filtering
❑
Standard FDDI MIB support using SNMP, as well as SMT 7.3 support
❑
Configuration through command-line interface
❑
Board status LEDs
❑
Two SC (fiber optic) connectors supporting both DAS and SAS
configurations
❑
Optical bypass connector
