Getting Started — ATM

As stated earlier, this release provides Ethernet to ATM connectivity

through ATM Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs). This means that each

switch must have a PVC link between itself and any other switch. Figure 6

shows a typical ATM PVC network topology.

This conﬁguration allows any device connected to any switch to communicate

with any other device — assuming that each device is in the same Emulated

LAN. Note that it is not necessary for every unit to be interconnected to

every other one. Only units that have devices which need to communicate

need to be connected.
