Preface

The Passport® 8672ATME Module is part of the Nor tel Net works Passport line of
communications products. This module is the Passport Asynchronous Transfer
Mode (ATM) module for the Passport 8600 chassis. This guide describes the
features and operations of the module and provides instructions for installing and
managing the module.

Before you begin

This guide is intended fo r network installers and system administrators wh o are
responsible for installing, configuring, or maintaining networks. This guide
assumes that you have the following background:

Chapter 1
About the Passport 8672ATME Module

The Passport 8672ATME Module provides network transmission using ATM
technology. The Passport 8672ATME Module enables MAN/WAN/campus
connectivity for the Passport 8600 Routing Switch with the capability to
interconnect frame-switched networks using a backbone ATM network. The
module also provi des exi sting ATM customers with th e capabi lity for connecti vity
to the Passport 8600 Rou ti ng Swi tch . (For more information on ATM, refer to the
ATM Forum Web site at the http://www.atmforum.com URL.)

The Passport 8672ATME Module occupies a single slot in a Passport 8600 series
chassis. The module is a baseboard with room for two of the following optional
Media dependent adapters (MDAs):

25

• 1-port OC-12c/STM-4: single-mode fiber (SMF) or multimode fiber (MMF)
using the Synchronous Optical Network (SONET/SDH) media

• 4-port OC-3c/STM-1: SMF or MMF using SONET/SDH media

The Passport 8672ATME Module for the Passp ort 8 000 se ries chass is ca n be u sed
as an edge device for WAN connectivity in the data center; it is used to connect
Passport 8600 to public or private ATM networks. You can also use the
Passport 8672ATME Module in the wiring closet in inter-building connection
technology in campus networks where each building is supported by
frame-switched networks.

Another network application of the Passport 8672ATME Module is a direct
connection between one Passport 8600 series switch with a Passport 8672ATME
Module in one building to an identical module in another Passport 8600 Series
switch at another bu ilding. You connect the switches with a dedicat ed fiber li nk or
with a SONET multiplex network. Each building may be individually supported
by either frame-switched or ATM technology.

26 Chapter 1 About the Passport 8672ATME Module

You can use up to two Passport 8672ATME Modules in one Passport 8600 series
chassis.

Refer to Networking Concepts for the Pass por t 8 000 Series Switch for a thorough
discussion of the complete functionality of the Passport 8000 series product line,
including the Passport 8672ATME Module. Note that VRRP, DiffServ, and ATM
QoS are not supported on this module.

This chapter provides the following information about the Passport 8672ATME
Module:

•“Features” next

• “Physical description” on page 28

Features

• RFC 1483 ATM PVC support
—Bridged PVC
— IP routed PVC
— IPX routed PVC

• Both RFC 1483 LLC/SNAP encapsulation and Null encapsulation

• RFC 1483 point-to-multipoint bridging—up to 64 PVCs per ELAN

• MLT using bridged RFC 1483 PVCs

• VBR traffic shaping per VC channel

• STP support

• F5 OAM end-to-end loopback

• SONET statistics and ELAN/PORT level statist ics

• Ability to remove and in stall a module (hot- swap) without r esetting the switch
(MDAs are not hot-swappable)

• AAL 5

• Hardware diagnostics

209195-B

Chapter 1 About the Passport 8672ATME Module 27

• Proprietary MIB support for configuration of RFC 1483 and ATM port
specific setup

• Manageable through the Passport CLI or Device Manager, the SNMP-based
graphical interface

• Monitored through a World Wide Web browser from anywhere on the
network.

ATM ELANs, and Ethernet VLANs

The Passport 8672ATME Module supports ATM Forum Emulated LANs
(ELANs). An ELAN extends an Ethernet VLAN, which is a broadcast domain,
over an ATM network.

In general, there is a one -to-one mapping bet ween an ATM ELAN and an Ethernet
VLAN. An ATM ELAN never spans more than one ATM port because the
software considers each ATM port completely separate.

The Passport 8672ATME Module participates in ELANs as RFC 1483 PVCs.
Only Ethernet ELANs are supported on this module.

If you delete a VLAN, you delete 1483 ELANs associated with the VLAN.

Virtual network router

Virtual network router (VNR) refers to the routing functions between two ATM
virtual/emulate d networks. You can use the Passport 8672ATME Module as an IP­and IPX-optimized VNR.

Traffic shaping

The Passport 8672ATME Module provides per channel traffic shaping and
supports unspecified bit rate (UBR) and variable bit rate (VBR). Channels with a
specified cell rate are called rate-shaped channels.

Using the Passport 8672ATME Module

28 Chapter 1 About the Passport 8672ATME Module

The VBR service provid ed by the 8672 mod ule allows a p reviously i dle channel to
burst at a relatively high Peak Cell Rate (PCR) for a Maximum Burst Size (MBS)

of ATM cells. If the channel exhausts its MBS, the module reduces the channel’s
rate to a Sustained Cell Rate (SCR). When the channel stops transmitting, it
accumulates credit towards another burst at PCR.

The 8672 module also provides a UBR service for Transmitter channels. When a
UBR channel is opened, there is no channel rate specified. All active UBR
channels are serviced in a round-robin queue. If no rate-shaped channel is
scheduled for transmi ssion, a single cell is sent from the cha nnel at the head of the
UBR queue.

RFC 1483 Support

The system software on the Passport 8672ATME Module supports the
configuration of RFC 1483 LAN clients with multiprotocol encapsulation. RFC
1483 supports standard s-based methods of encapsula tion that enable connectivity
with third-party ATM devices. Multiproto col encap sulation pr ovides the
capability to set up PVCs between Centillion ATM virtual ports (VPorts) and
other clients based on LLC encapsulation. The current Centillion platform only
supports bridged variations of RFC 1483.

The Passport 8672ATME Module supports the following types of RFC 1483
ELANs:

• RFC 1483 bridged 802.3. The links can be set up within a single device or
with another switch. Multiple RFC 1483 links can be set up within one
ELAN. Both LLC and NULL encapsulation are supported.

• RFC 1483 routed IP and IPX. An RFC 1483 routed VLAN always contains
only one PVC, corresponding to a point-to-point link between routers. The
software adds and removes the MAC header, as appropriate. When
configuring an IP and IPX routed circuit, the ATM port must be the only port
assigned to the VLAN.

Physical description

The Passport 8672ATME Module (Figure 1) is a single-slot module for the
Passport 8600 Series chassis. Online LEDs indicate module operation.

T o configure and manage the Passport 8672A TME Module, connect to the console
port of your switch fabric module (either the Passport 8690SF Module or the
Passport 8691SF Module). For information on connecting to the console port,
refer to the installation guide that came with your switch.

Media dependent adapters

The Passport 8672ATME Module has space for two media dependent adapters
MDAs) that have their own LEDs. You can use up to two of the following MDAs
with the Passport 8672ATME Module:

• 1-port OC-12c/STM-4: SMF or MMF

• 4-port OC-3c/STM-1: SMF or MMF

You can mix these MDAs on the Passport 8672ATME Module. Contact your
Nortel Networks repres entat ive for other MDAs that ar e avai lable for t his pro duct.

Online LED

The front panel of the Passport 8672ATME Module has an Online LED that
indicates wheth er or n ot the module has p ower applied and is i ni ti al iz ed cor re ct ly.

When the Passport 8672ATME Module is first inse rted into the chassis , the Online
LED turns amber until the board is recognized by the system and passes a
power-on self -tes t. If the mod ule fa ils the se lf-tes t, the lig ht is of f. When the board
passes the self-test and goes online, the LED illuminates a solid green.

Note: You cannot configure the Passport 8672ATME Module until the
online LED on the module is steadily lit green and you have inserted at
least one MDA.
