Cajun A500 ATM Switch
Overview
Overview
T
he Cajun A500 provides intelligent broadband transport for LAN switches, routers,
hosts (both servers and endstations), voice switches (PBXs), video communication
systems, multimedia servers, and other devices in a campus backbone. The Cajun A500
supports multiple network services, including data, voice, and video communications
and delivers multiple Quality of Service (QoS) levels to facilitate these services.
This release of the Cajun A500 ATM Switch provides:
U High-speed internetworking for either conventional layer two and layer three over
ATM configurations, such as IP over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), or LAN
Emulation (LANE).
U Connectivity for LAN switches, routers, and servers.
The Cajun A500 is intended to provide a lower cost per port, compact chassis design than
ATM switches designed primarily for enterprise WAN or carrier applications. These
switches tend to have redundancy, port fanout, service adaptation (frame relay-to-ATM
interworking or integrated circuit emulation services, for example), and buffering
features not needed in a campus networking product.
Interoperability
The Cajun A500 supports interoperability with multiple network products, including:
U LAN switches (Bay Networks Centillion 50/100; Ciscos Catalyst 5000/5500)
U ATM switches (Fore ASX-200 and ASX-1000, Cisco LightStream 1010,
Lucents MX 1000, Cajun A750, and GlobeView 2000, 3COM Corebuilder,
and others)
U Routers (Bay, Cisco, 3Com)
U ATM attached servers (Sun, HP, Compaq) and Multimedia servers (Lucent MMCX)

The following steps explain how ATM cell traffic is passed through an Cajun A500
switch:
1. ATM cells from the ATM ports are stored in the cell memory under the switch
fabric control.
2. ATM cells are either forwarded to another ATM port at the line speed or to the
SAR, if circuit terminates locally (Signaling/Routing Engine, etc.).
3. The Segmentation And reassembly (SAR) reassembles the cells to a Protocol Data
Unit (PDU) and notifies the appropriate local task.
Cajun A500 ATM Switch User Guide 1-5
Cajun A500 ATM Switch Overview
4. The local task processes the PDU and performs the appropriate action. For example,
the Signaling/Routing Engine parses the PDU and determines the forwarding path.
A cross-connection through the switch is setup, if necessary.
5. The forwarded PDUs are passed to the Segmentation and Reassembly (SAR) unit.
6. The SAR segments the PDU and hands off the cells to the switch for transmission.
7. Ethernet traffic is management traffic that is handled locally.
PNNI Routing Task
The PNNI Routing function includes computing and maintaining neighbor connectivity
and distributing the link state database amongst the physical and logical peer groups. The
Routine Service portion specifically, is consulted by the signalling task for forwarding
signalling messages to the appropriate destination.
ILMI Task
The Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI) includes auto-negotiation, address
and service registration, and exchange of link information with the peer ILMI
component across all the physical links.
Call Control Task
The call control processing includes configuring the signalling task, interfacing with the
Switch Fabric control components, interfacing with the local CAC, and associating the
incoming and outgoing call processing.
UNI/PNNI Signalling Task
UNI/PNNI Signaling is responsible for setting up, tearing down, and maintaining UNI
3.0/3.1/4.0 as well as PNNI connections.

Internal Static IP Connectivity
The Cajun A500 supports internal static IP connectivity. This functionality enables you to
manage the switches when there is no ethernet or LANE services available. You
configure one switch as the designated A500 or static IP server and all other switches in
the topology are configured as static IP client. The static IP server keeps a table that maps
the ATM addresses of the static IP clients to their respective IP addresses.
The static IP server also creates Inband connections to each of the static IP clients. In this
way, ethernet connectivity is required only to the designated A500/static IP server. The
static IP server acts as a proxy for the static IP clients and bridges across the ethernet to
the Inband ATM connections to the static IP clients. The result is that you only need an
out-of-band connection to the static IP server and from this connection can access (via
telnet, web, SNMP etc.) all of the other switches via the Inband connections.
Note: Hijacking the Ethernet Port: static IP is used to create IP connection (e.g.,
Telnet, SNMP) to A500 switches when LANE is not available. When LANE is
available, LANE is the preferred method to provide IP connection.
Cajun A500 ATM Switch Overview
On the static IP server, the Network Management System (NMS) is on the ether
port; there is no instance of an ethernet interface and user defines the static IP
address for the box (Managed Entity).
On the static IP Client, there can exist an instance of the ethernet interface,
where the ethernet must be on a subnet other than the NMS subnet. When
static IP is in use, the NMS should be on the same network as the ME, e.g.,
A500. If this is not the case, the default gateway must be on the same network
as the Static IP address. This applies to both the client and server A500s. This
forces the IP traffic to flow on the static IP Interface.
Note: Ethernet Filtering in Promiscuous Mode: To provide static IP, the ethernet
interface (physical port) must be placed in promiscuous mode. This mode
enables the static IP server to receive unicast MAC frames destined for
Static-IP Clients. To avoid overwhelming the A500 with ethernet traffic, a
filter has been defined to only accept those frames with an OUI matching that
of the static IP server. If the OUI ever changes on a A500 you add later, that
A500 will not transmit data.
This functionality supports in-band communication from an ethernet attached
management station on one Cajun A500 to the other Cajun A500s in the network. This
capability is only available when LANE in not available in the network. Figure 1-3
depicts the typical situation where this functionality is available.

When LANE-enabled, all of the Cajun A500s and the management station join the same
ELAN in order to achieve management connectivity. When local-access enabled, the
Cajun A500s do not automatically attempt to join the management ELAN. You must
configure the Cajun A500 where the management station resides, (the designated A500)
with the ATM addresses, ethernet addresses and IP addresses of the other Cajun A500s.
The other A500s establish a VCC to the designated A500. A simplified form of bridging
takes place in the designated Cajun A500 with respect to the treatment of frames
received over the local ethernet segment and the VCCs to the other Cajun A500s to
provide the required frame forwarding.
A500
A500
Static IP Architecture
When LANE-enabled, there are two separate PNA interfaces, and thus IP addresses, that
correspond to the local ethernet and the Cajun A500s LEC. When the designated A500 is
in local-access mode, the VCC to the designated A500 takes the place of the LEC
interface. The major difference is that this VCC to the designated A500 is treated like the
local ethernet, meaning:
U All frames sent by the Cajun A500 out of the PNA local-access interface are sent to
the VCC to the designated A500.
U All frames received over the VCC from the designated A500 are sent to the
corresponding PNA interface.
When in Local-access mode and not the designated A500, a Cajun A500 is configured
with the ATM address of the designated A500. The Cajun A500 continuously attempts to
setup a connection with the designated A500. An ATM address selector value is reserved
for this use.

VCCs to other A500s
The designated A500 is configured with the ATM, MAC and IP addresses of the other
Cajun A500s in the network.
Note: The MAC address is the one associated with the LEC, not the ethernet port.
U The designated A500 accepts a connection from another Cajun A500 if its ATM
address matches one of the configured addresses.
U The MAC and IP addresses combine to populate entries in the MIPM table. The
entry in the MIPM for PNA is the base (LEC) MAC address and IP address of the
designated A500.
U The mini-bridge examines all unicast frames received on the local ethernet and
determine whether they specify the destination MAC address of one of the A500s.
U If the frame is for one of the Cajun A500s, the mini-bridge forwards the frame onto
the associated VCC or to PNA if it is to its own MAC address. Unicast frames not

When the mini-bridge receives a multi-cast frame from the local ethernet port, it is
dropped. When the mini-bridge receives a broadcast frame from the local ethernet port,
it examines the frame to determine whether it is an IP ARP. If it is an IP ARP, the
Proxy-ARP Hander (PAH) function is invoked. The PAH looks in the MIPM to see if the
specified IP address is one of the A500s. If it is, the appropriate ARP response is returned
to the local ethernet port.

The processes running on the Switch Processor Engine (SWP) communicate via the Inter
Process Communication mechanism (IPC), provided by pSOS, the real-time operating
system used on the Cajun A500 SWP. The processes transmit and receive data to and
from the lower level drivers by registering with the Local Frame Handler layer.

pSOSystem Operating System
The pSOSystem operating system is a modular, high-performance, real-time operating
system designed specifically for embedded microprocessors. It provides a complete
multi-tasking environment based on Open System standards. The pSOSystem operating
system is designed for quick start-up on both custom and commercial hardware and is
supported by an integrated set of cross development tools that can reside on UNIX or
DOS-based computers. These tools can communicate with a target device over a serial or
TCP/IP network connection.

pSOSystem Architecture
The pSOSystem operating system employs a modular architecture built around the
pSOS+ real-time multi-tasking kernel and a collection of companion software
components. Software components are standard building blocks delivered as absolute,
position-independent code modules. They are standard parts in the sense that they
remain unchanged from one application to another.
Cajun A500 ATM Switch User Guide 1

Cajun A500 ATM Switch Overview
Unlike most system software, a software component is not wired down to a piece of
hardware. It makes no assumptions about the execution/target environment. At startup,
each software component is configured by reading a user-defined table containing both
hardware and application parameters. Every component implements a logical collection
of system calls. To the application developer, system calls appear as re-entrant C
functions that can be called from an application. Any combination of components can be
incorporated into a system to match your real-time design requirements. The
pSOSystem operating system includes the following components:
U pSOS+ Real-time Multi-Tasking Kernel - A field-proven, multi-tasking kernel
that provides an efficient mechanism for coordinating the activities of your
real-time system.
U pSOS+m Multiprocessor Multi-Tasking Kernel - Extends the pSOS+ feature
set to operate across multiple, tightly-coupled or distributed processors.
U pNA+ TCP/IP Network Manager - A complete TCP/IP implementation,
including gateway routing, UDP, ARP, and ICMP protocols. It uses a standard socket
interface that includes stream, datagram, and raw sockets.
U pRPC+ Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Library - Offers SUN
and XDR services and enables you to build distributed applications using the
familiar C procedure paradigm.
U pREPC+ ANSI C Standard Library - Provides familiar ANSI C run-time
functions such as printf(), scanf(), etc. in the target environment.
Clock Synchronization
The Cajun A500 has the ability to synchronize the clock reference being used for all of its
OC-3c, OC-12c, and T3/E3 ports to an external reference. The external reference can be
any of its OC-3c, OC-12c, and T3/E3 ports in its chassis, from an T1/E1 circuit (used
specifically for clocking purposes) connected to the SWP board, or from the T3/E3 board.
You select and prioritize four external references (two OC-3c/OC-12c, or T3/E3 ports
and two T1/E1 ports) for use as the clock reference for the Cajun A500. The external
source with the highest priority is used as the external source that the Cajun A500 locks
to. If the selected source goes bad, an external source with the next highest priority is
used. If all the external references go bad, the Cajun A500 generates timing using a
holdover mode. In holdover mode, the Cajun A500 regenerates the timing of the last
source it was locked to and uses this timing as its reference source. If there was not a
good last source, the Cajun A500 enters free mode, generating timing from an on-board
oscillator.

Connection Admission Control (CAC)
The Cajun A500 software supports connections using UBR, CBR, and Variable Bit Rate
non-real time (VBR-nrt) QoS classes concurrently. This integrates both voice and data
switching traffic over a common Cajun A500 ATM platform. UBR is used to support the
majority of data switching applications, such as LANE, Classical IP over ATM, and Virtual
LANs (VLANs) over ATM. CBR and VBR-nrt will be used to support voice traffic
connections.
In order to guarantee delivery of CBR and VBR-nrt cells through the switch fabric and to
the outgoing port, the Cajun A500 uses CAC. The use of CAC ensures that an output
port is not oversubscribed. For example, if port A1.1 currently has 95% of its outgoing
bandwidth reserved for existing CBR connections and a connection request is made for
10% of the port's bandwidth, the CAC rejects the request. However, if the request is
made for 5% or less, the request is accepted.
Note: The CAC does not effect UBR traffic. UBR traffic is best effort and is never
guaranteed to be delivered.
Cajun A500 ATM Switch Overview
PNNI Functionality
The Cajun A500 PNNI supports the following:
U Single peer groups
U Separate virtual network routing domains
The Cajun A500 ATM Switch provides Private Network-to-Network Interface (PNNI), a
dynamic routing protocol that manages and allocates network resources for SVCs in an
ATM network. It keeps track of the current status of all switches and links in order to
manage resources and dynamically creates routing tables in ATM switches. When an end
station requests a connection with specific QoS parameters, PNNI is able to find a
possible path (if any) satisfying the request and allocates the necessary resources in the
network.
PNNI enables the network to respond quickly to link failures, link recoveries, and
changing network loads on any link. The network is able to adapt to changes in the
addressing of a network or the topology of the network as switches are added or deleted.
Peer Groups
PNNI creates groups for the distribution of routing information through the network.
These groups are called peer groups. A peer group should have topological significance in
which all members of the group are in the same physical location.

Cajun A500 ATM Switch Overview
Point to Point Protocol (PPP)
The Cajun A500 ATM Switch provides Point to Point Protocol (PPP) functionality. PPP
provides a standard method for transporting packets of any protocol over a
point-to-point link. It encapsulates network packets into a format suitable for a serial
link. PPP can carry many different types of networking protocols, including TCP/IP,
UDP/IP, AppleTalk
call into the A500 and access Telnet, TFTP, and the SNMP functionality. In addition, the
Cajun A500 can dial out when triggered by a Trap/Notify event.
PPP has three main components:
U A method for encapsulating datagrams over serial links.
U A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring, and testing the
data-link connection.
U A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring
different network-layer protocols.
TM
, IPX, and DECnetTM. The Cajun A500 functionality enables you to
In order to establish communications over a point-to-point link, each end of the PPP link
must first send LCP packets to configure the data link during Link Establishment phase.
After the link has been established, PPP provides for an optional Authentication phase
before proceeding to the Network-Layer Protocol phase.
Figure 1-7 displays the software architecture for the Cajun A500 with PPP. This
architecture enables applications (Telnet, TFTP, SNMP, Trap) to run over PPP as if it was
any other network interface (i.e. ethernet).

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Functionality
The Cajun A500 ATM Switch comes up by default with PPP already configured for a
dialin connection. This allows for ease in setting up a PPP session with the A500. Default
values are:
U Local IP address - 192.168.55.1
U Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
U Peer IP address - 192.168.55.2
U Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is required- Lucent name and password
If these addresses conflict with other IP subnets in your system, you must change them.
These particular addresses were selected because they are the only addresses that work
for dialout on some versions of the PC dialup adapter.
Cajun A500 ATM Switch User Guide 1-15
Cajun A500 ATM Switch Overview
Note: When PPP configuration changes are made, you must reboot the Cajun A500
for the changes to take effect. It does not need to be restarted when editing
PAP or Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) tables.
You cannot directly disable the dialin channel like you can the dialout channel. If you
must disable the dialin channel, you can:
Set PAP or CHAP as required.
U
Clear all entries in the PAP/CHAP table.
U
Another method to disable the dialin channel would be to add
U
dialstring (then the modem would never answer a call coming in).
Both channels always use active mode, which means that they try to initiate the
negotiations as soon as the physical modem link is up.
About IP addresses
When using WindowsTM 95, the mask is not particularly important if you are setting up a
point-to-point network).
Note: Performance markedly improves if the peers are in the same subnet.
If the addresses are not on the same subnet then the PC must be setup to use the default
gateway in order for applications to run. It is recommended that you configure both local
and peer address on the same subnet at the A500. Set the dialout name and password
required by the PC for autentication.
ATS0=0

Modem Connections
If the modem connection is removed and then plugged back in to the A500, it is not
always detected (this appears to be modem dependent). Recycling the power on the
modem works most of the time. You can tell if it works if the AA (Auto Answer) light
comes on if successful. Another method is to reboot the A500.
The default modem setup and dialstrings are simple so that they work as broadly as
possible. But, if you really need to change modem setup, dial or hangup strings,

1. You must set up the serial port and modem to receive calls in order to use the
SNMP agent or Telnet applications.
2. The modem must be dialed to use the trap application.
3. After the modem connection is made then the Link Control Protocol (LCP) runs to
perform the layer 2 configuration of the link (maximum packet size, which
characters must be sent masked etc.).
4. The initialization of PPP occurs after all of the other Cajun A500 tasks begin.
If PPP is not enabled the modem is set up to accept calls and start a console task
when a call comes in.
If PPP is enabled, a PPP task is created and starts to manage the two possible
virtual channels. The new task reads the PPP configuration data from the
NVRam. The PPP task activates on a timer event.
1-18 Cajun A500 ATM Switch User Guide
Cajun A500 ATM Switch Overview
Initially, the PPP task configures the channel for dialin mode and starts the PPP network
interface; this creates and starts the PPP daemon. The PPP daemon waits on
initialization, send, receive, and control events. The serial port and modem are initialized
through the PPP daemon. The PPP task has the following duties when set up:
U Checks message queue for a trap message - If there is a trap message, it saves
the information in a private log. If the trap is the first one in, the log starts a hold
trap message timer.If the log is almost full (ten events) then change PPP network
configuration to dialout and send trap. After last trap is sent out the PPP channel
waits five seconds and then shuts down the dialout connection and returns to
waiting for dialin connection.
U Checks to see if hold trap message timer has expired - If yes, then configure
the channel for dial out and send the trap.After the last trap is sent out the PPP
channel, wait five seconds and then shuts down the dialout connection and goes
back to waiting for dialin connection.
U Checks the link status - If link was up and then goes down again, reset the
modem and start waiting for dialin connect again.
The PPP task does not break down a dialin connection enricher to send out a trap
in the above cases. Instead it waits for dialin link to be disconnected.
Authentication Configuration
PPP defines a Link Control Protocol, which enables negotiation of an Authentication
Protocol for authenticating its peer before allowing Network Layer protocols to transmit
over the link. Authentication configuration options are:
U Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)
U Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
The IP Control Protocol (IPCP) is negotiated last. After this step completes, the entire link
opens so that applications can begin passing data. These authentication protocols are
intended for use primarily by hosts and routers that connect to a PPP network server via
switched circuits or dialup lines, but might be applied to dedicated links as well. The
server can use the identification of the connecting host or router in the selection of
options for network layer negotiations.
Cajun A500 ATM Switch User Guide 1-19
Cajun A500 ATM Switch Overview
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)
The Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) provides a simple method for the peer to
establish its identity using a 2-way handshake. This is done only upon initial link
establishment. After the link establishment phase completes, an ID/Password pair is
repeatedly sent by the peer to the authenticator until authentication is acknowledged or
the connection terminates.
Passwords are sent over the circuit in the clear, and there is no protection from playback
or repeated trial and error attacks. The peer is in control of the frequency and timing of
the attempts. Any implementations which include a stronger authentication method
(such as CHAP) must offer to negotiate that method prior to PAP.
This authentication method is most appropriately used where a plain text password must
be available to simulate a login at a remote host. In such use, this method provides a
similar level of security to the usual user login at the remote host.
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
The Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is used to verify the identity
of the peer using a 3-way handshake. This is done upon initial link establishment, and
can be repeated anytime after establishing the link. After the link establishment phase
completes, the authenticator sends a challenge message to the peer. The peer responds
with a value calculated using a one-way hash function. The authenticator checks the
response against its own calculation of the expected hash value. If the values match, the
authentication is acknowledged; otherwise the connection terminates.
CHAP provides protection against playback attack through the use of an incrementally
changing identifier and a variable challenge value. The use of repeated challenges is
intended to limit the time of exposure to any single attack. The authenticator is in
control of the frequency and timing of the challenges. This authentication method
depends upon a secret known only to the authenticator and that peer. The secret is not
sent over the link. Use this method when the same secret is easily accessed from both
ends of the link.

There are three types of messages that the system can receive:
U
U
U
The Raw packets are directed to the modem script handler. The PPP data and link packets
are decoded into a PPP owned buffer and the Async buffer is returned to the Async
buffer pool. The PPP buffers are sent to the PPP daemon which sends the link packets to
the appropriate handler (LCP, IPCP).
Transmit buffers can be generated from the same 3 sources:
U Modem chat script (raw)
U PPP link information

Configuring the Cajun A500
Network
Overview
Once your Cajun A500 is operational, complete the following tasks to configure your
Cajun A500:
1. Determine the network configuration (i.e., the endstations or switches that will be
attached to each operational link in your Cajun A500.
2. Configure the link type accordingly.
3. Configure any static routes.
4. Configure any Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs).
The following sections provide detailed explanations for each of these tasks.
Determining Your Network Configuration
First, determine what kind of endstation or switch will be attached to each link on your
Cajun A500, so that you can properly configure the link type for each port. The link type
specifies how each system directly connected to the Cajun A500 establishes
communication with it. The following are some basic guidelines for determining the link
type:
U Auto Configuration - if the external you are connecting to supports ILMI 4.0, no
configuration is necessary.
U Systems such as LAN (non-ATM) switches or servers typically support UNI 3.0, 3.1,
or 4.0 signaling, using the Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) protocol. In
these configurations, you typically only need to configure the link type to be used
by the particular ATM port on the Cajun A500. Configuration of static routes or
Permenant Virtual Circuits (PVCs) is usually not necessary. The section
"Configuring/Modifying the Link Type", describes how to configure the link type
and activate the Cajun A500 port.
U If connecting a network of Cajun A500s, you should use PNNI Routing/Signaling.

need to both set the link type and configure either a static route , PVC, or PNNI. The
section "Configuring/Modifying the Link Type", later in this chapter, describes how
to configure the link type and activate the Cajun A500 port. The section
"Configuring Static Routes", describes how to configure a static route; Section
"Configuring Permanent Virtual Channels and Paths" describes how to configure a
PVC.
Configuring the Link Types for the Cajun A500
Specify a link type to be assigned to an Cajun A500 port determines the service to be
supplied by the Cajun A500 over that port. This is done by specifying a link type from
the available set of link types for each active port in your Cajun A500.
Note: When you first bring up an Cajun A500, all ports are disabled (down). Ports
must be in this state when you configure the link type for the port.
Note: If using ILMI 4.0, and the external device supports auto-configuration, the
system auto configures and all that is necessary is bring up the port.
To configure the link type for a Cajun A500 port:
1. Bring the ATM port down, if it is not already.
2. Configure the link type.
3. Bring the ATM port up.
4. View the link types specified for each port.
5. Configure custom link types.
The following sections explain how to complete each of these steps.
Guidelines for Determining the Link Type
The following guidelines help determine which link type to use. The value you select
depends upon what the system directly attached to your Cajun A500 uses to establish
communication with the Cajun A500.
U Systems such as LAN (non-ATM) switches or servers typically support UNI 3.0, 3.1,
or 4.0 signaling, using the Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) protocol.
U Third-party ATM switches and Lucent ATM switches that support UNI 3.0 or 3.1
signaling, use PNNI.

You can then proceed to configure the link type for the port. If you are unsure of which
link type to use, refer to the section "Guidelines for Determining the Link Type". All
ports are configured in Auto Mode running on VPI 0 and are in the admin up state. This
means that as long as the box connected to the A500 supports ILMI, the ports are all
"plug and play".
ATM Ports,
PNNI does not come up and run unless the box has been configured with a valid IP
address. Therefore, all boxes in a network of A500s must have their IP addresses
administered and then they must be rebooted.

Note: It is recommended that you use PNNI. use static routes only if they are
necessary.
Most configurations enable the Cajun A500 to use ILMI to establish routes through the
network. Certain configurations, however, may require configuration of static routes or
Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs). The following are some guidelines to help you
determine when manual route configuration is necessary:
U Systems using the ILMI protocol to establish communication with the Cajun A500
typically do not require any manual route configuration.
U Systems that do use signaling, but do not use the ILMI protocol to establish
communication with the Cajun A500 typically use static routes.
U Systems that do not support signaling, require permanent virtual circuits.

Static IP Connectivity
The Cajun A500 supports Internal Static IP connectivity. This functionality enables you
to manage the switches when there is no ethernet or any LANE services available. This
functionality supports in-band communication from an ethernet attached management
station on one Cajun A500 to the other Cajun A500s in the network. This capability is
only available when LANE in not available in the network. See Figure 1-3 for more
information.
U You configure one switch as the designated A500 or static IP server.
U You configure all other switches in the topology as static IP clients.
Static IP Server
The server keeps a table that maps the ATM addresses of the clients to their respective IP
addresses.The server also creates Inband connections to each of the clients. In this way,
ethernet connectivity is required only to the designated A500 static IP server. The server
acts as a proxy for the clients and bridges across the ethernet to the inband ATM
connections to the clients. The result is that you only need an out-of-band connection to
the server and from this connection can access (via telnet, web, SNMP etc.) all of the
other switches via the static IP connections.

Cajun A500 ATM Switch User Guide 3-

Configuring the Cajun A500 Network
Hijacking the Ethernet Port
Static IP is used to create IP connection (e.g., Telnet, SNMP) to A500 switches when
LANE is not available. When LANE is available, LANE is the preferred method to provide
IP connection. On the static IP server, the Network Management System (NMS) is on the
Ether port; there is no instance of an ethernet interface and user defines the static IP
address for the box (Managed Entity). On the Static IP Client, an instance of the ethernet
interface can exist, where the ethernet must be on a subnet other than the NMS subnet.
When static IP is in use, the NMS should be on the same network as the ME, e.g., A500.
If this is not the case, the default gateway must be on the same network as the static IP
address. This applies to both the client and server A500s. This forces the IP traffic to flow
on the static IP interface.
Ethernet Filtering in Promiscuous Mode
To provide static IP, you must place the ethernet interface (physical port) in promiscuous
mode. This mode enables the static IP server to receive unicast MAC frames destined for
static IP clients. To avoid overwhelming the A500 with ethernet traffic, a filter has been
defined to only accept those frames with an OUI matching that of the static IP server.
Configuring Static IP
The Web Agent enables you to configure your static IP configuration, clients, and server.
To configure static IP:

Commands
Cajun A500 commands are designed in three levels. The first level is an action word
(e.g., show, modify), the second level is the type of object the action works on (e.g., a
link, Cajun A500), and the third level can be a target object, information type, or data.
At each level, you can enter ? to see the usage for the subsequent level. For example,
entering ? at the prompt displays a list of actions you can execute on the system.
Entering ? after an action word displays the options and format for that command.

Understanding the Command Line Format
The following sections describe the format for the CLI.
Note: Cajun A500 console command entries are case sensitive.
Syntax Conventions
The command line format uses the following syntax conventions:
U Required arguments are represented in curly brackets {}
U Optional arguments are represented in straight brackets []
Italic type within curly brackets represents a variable value that you must supply. Vertical
pipes (|) separate the options for a given argument; choose one.
5-4 Cajun A500 ATM Switch User Guide
Command Line Entry Conventions
Most Cajun A500 console commands require that you press Enter to execute the
command. This documentation does not include this instruction unless the specific
action differs from this standard. For example, when rebooting the Cajun A500, the
system prompts you with
Are you sure you want to reboot?
the system accepts this without you having to press Enter.
Syntax Structure
In general, each command uses the following format:
{verb} {object} {info_type} [target_object] [data]
This format is defined in Table 5-3.
Table 5-3. Command Format
Using the Cajun A500 Command Line Interface
. When you enter Y
Format Element Description
{verb} Action to be done (e.g., admin, show, modify).
{object} Type of object upon which the action is performed (e.g., Cajun A500,
link).
{info_type} Type of information about the object (e.g., configuration, statistics) that
is being displayed or modified.
[target_object] Specific object upon which the action is being performed (e.g., Cajun
A500 Bldg1).
[data] Data to be input (e.g., routing information).
Command Line Prompts
When you enter a command without specifying a target object, the CLI prompts for it.
For example:
A500: admin link_type
Select ATM port (A1.1 - A4.8):
If you had enter a complete command, such as

In most cases, the Cajun A500 also prompts you for required information. For
commands that do not prompt you, enter the command name followed by a question
mark or refer to the
Cajun A500 ATM Switch Command Reference Guide for syntax and
argument information.
Supported User Accounts

Telnet Capabilities
If the Cajun A500 is on an IP network, you can Telnet to it from a PC or workstation. For
example:
telnet 198.3.104.162
TFTP Capabilities
Note: System administration functions (TFTP, file, init, etc.) should only be
attempted from a terminal connected directly to the console port on the front
panel of the Cajun A500, not from a Telnet session.
In order to TFTP images to the PCMCIA card, use the following command:
Using the Cajun A500 Command Line Interface
A500: tftp get
Destination [PCMCIA:SWP_IMAGE.IMG]:
IP address of TFTP Server [198.3.104.129]:
directoryname
/SWP_IMAGE.IMG
Where 198.3.104.129 is your TFTP server and the designated directory is the proper
directory on the server.
The internal flash is divided into two sections. The first is referenced as
second as
FLASH1:
image which is called
MAIN:
config name
When issuing a TFTP command, you want to get a configuration
consolerc
. If you want to put the image onto
. Reference the flash location as follows:
FLASH1:
, then you must adhere
MAIN:
and the
tftp get
to the hard coded naming convention as follows:
SWP_IMAGE.IMG
You cannot put a file into this location that has a different name than
nvram.dat
.
nvram.dat.
or
SWP_IMAGE.IMG
or
The configuration files can only be TFTP'ed to the internal flash. The external PCMCIA
flash can only receive the
SWP_IMAGE.IMG
and
nvram.dat
. Thus, it is not divided into
two sections like the internal flash.
To utilize the TFTP capabilities from the Cajun A500 Manager:
1. In the ATM Switch A500 section of the Web Agent window, select TFTP. The
TFTP Set Server window opens.
2. Enter the TFTP Server Address.
3. Click Apply to save your changes, or Cancel to restore previous settings.

This command requires the following argument(s):
admin Commands
command enables you to set the IP address and subnet
Example
IP address Enter the new IP address using the syntax
198.4.112.22), or you can press Return to display prompts and
current settings.
Subnet mask Enter the new mask in the format nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn. If you want to
leave the subnet mask unchanged, press Return.
Note:
The inband IP address must be on a subnet different than the one the
nnn.n.nnn.nn (e.g.,
Ethernet is on. This command will not allow you to put both IP addresses on
the same subnet. The LEC does not come up if the LEC IP is cleared (0.0.0.0).
In normal operation, changing the LEC IP does not take affect until the next
reboot; however, if the LEC IP is changed from 0.0.0.0 to a valid IP address,
the LEC uses the new IP address when it is enabled.
A500: admin inband_address
Enter IP address[0.0.0.0]: 198.3.106.111
Enter IP mask[0.0.0.0]: 255.255.255.0
New IP address and mask will be used when A500 is rebooted

admin Commands
admin interface
Purpose
The
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH). Selecting SONET/SDH configures the Cajun
A500's interface for SONET/SDH framing. The 155 Mb/622 Mb ATM interfaces follow
either the SONET or the SDH physical layer standard. These standards specify the frame
formats for the interface. Typically, the United States uses the SONET standard while
European countries use the SDH standard. It is necessary for both ends of an ATM link to
follow the same standard to ensure proper operation. This command enables the use of
either standard.
Syntax
Arguments
This command requires the following argument(s):
admin interface
admin interface {
port Specify the port you want to shut down access to. Valid port numbers
