3 IP OVER ATM AND LANE This chapter describes working with the SmartSwitch 6500 IP over ATM VLAN and emulated LAN capabilities. At the end of this chapter you will be able to use your SmartSwitch 6500 switch to • • Create an IP over ATM VLAN Create an emulated Ethernet LAN (LANE) 3.1 CREATING AN IP OVER ATM VLAN This section describes implementing IP over ATM on your SmartSwitch 6500 switch. The following assumptions are made: • • • The SmartSwitch 6500 will have a client on the IP over ATM VLAN 1.
Creating an IP over ATM VLAN 3. IP Over ATM and LANE Enter the show client command to make sure the client is operational and to obtain the 20-byte ATM address of the ARP server.
IP Over ATM and LANE Note 3.1.1 Creating an Emulated LAN If configured devices fail to join the VLAN, see Chapter 5, "Routing." Section 5.3. Also, see Chapter 9, "Troubleshooting." Default ATM Addressing for IP over ATM The SmartSwitch 6500 provides a default format for ATM addresses used by IP over ATM.
Creating an Emulated LAN An ELAN comes pre-configured on SmartSwitch 6500 switches. The ELAN name is “ELAN000.” To use this ELAN, start the LECS, configure your end nodes and edge devices to use ELAN name ELAN000, and then plug them into the SmartSwitch 6500. Note 1. Enter the start IP Over ATM and LANE lecs command to activate LANE server services on this SmartSwitch 6500. SmartCell ZX # start lecs NOTICE - 'LECS' ***** LECS started ***** SmartCell ZX # 2.
IP Over ATM and LANE Caution 4. Enter the show Creating an Emulated LAN Never create an ELAN (or ELAN client) with the same subnet as the SmartSwitch 6500 Ethernet port. client command verify that the client is operational.
Creating an Emulated LAN 3.2.1 IP Over ATM and LANE ATM Addressing for LAN Emulation The SmartSwitch 6500 provides default formats for ATM addresses used by LAN emulation entities (local client, LECS, LES, and BUS). The default formats are constructed as follows.
IP Over ATM and LANE Creating an Emulated LAN netprefix + chassis MAC address + ELAN number summed with the numerical value two (2) For example • • • netprefix = 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:A3:87:0B chassis MAC address = 00:00:1D:A3:87:0B ELAN number = 3 then, default LES and BUS addresses = 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:1D:A3:87:0B:05 3.2.2 ELANs Across Multiple Switches ELANs can exist within a single switch, or they can span multiple switches.
Creating an Emulated LAN 3.2.4 IP Over ATM and LANE Distributed LANE Services LANE services (LECS, LES, and BUS) can reside on different SmartSwitch 6500s. For example, the LECS can reside on one SmartSwitch 6500, while the LES and BUS reside on another. Use the add lecselan, add leselan, and add buselan to distribute LANE services among SmartSwitch 6500s. The following steps create an ELAN with the LECS on switch SW1 and the LES and BUS on switch SW2. 1.
IP Over ATM and LANE 4. Creating an Emulated LAN On switch SW1, use the command add lecselan to create the LECS: SW1 # add lecselan ELANNumber(0) : 1 ELANName(ELAN001) : mis1 LESAddress(39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:A3:87:0B:00:00:1D:A3:87:0B:03):39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:0 < Specify the LES address on SW2 0:00:14:41:80:00:20:d4:14:41:81:02 ELANType(802.3) : MTU(1516) : TLVSet() : SW1 # 5.
Creating an Emulated LAN IP Over ATM and LANE Best Effort Elan Join Test The following describe the Best 1. Effort test. Does the client specify the name of the ELAN it wants to join? - If yes, check whether an ELAN exists by that name. If an ELAN exists by that name, assign the client to the ELAN. If no ELAN exists by that name, assign the client to the default ELAN (ELAN 0).
IP Over ATM and LANE Creating an Emulated LAN are ANDed together. For example, if three join policies are create, each with the same priority value, a client requesting LANE services must meet the criteria of all three policies to be assigned an ELAN. If the client fails to meet the requirements of all three policies, the policy with the next lowest priority value will attempt to assign the client to an ELAN. Use the add lecselanpolicy command to create ELAN join policies.
Creating an Emulated LAN • IP Over ATM and LANE IP address In the following example, a client is identified by its ATM address and IP address, and associates it with ELAN number 1. Smart6500 # add lecselanlec AtmAddress() MACAddress/RouteDesc() Layer3Address[IP]() ELANNumber(0) TLVSet() : 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:44:55:66:11:22:33:44:55:66:00 < No MAC address is specified : : 204.123.91.
4 PNNI ROUTING The SmartSwitch 6500 default routing protocol is PNNI version 1.0. PNNI provides automatic and dynamic connectivity among all PNNI nodes within the same peer group. By configuring multi-level PNNI topologies and peer group leaders, full hierarchical PNNI routing can be established with connectivity between different peer groups. Note 4.1 For a complete explanation of all PNNI related commands, see the SmartSwitch 6500 Reference Manual.
Multi-level PNNI Topology Use the show pnninode PNNI Routing command to view SmartSwitch 6500 PNNI node parameters.
PNNI Routing 1. Multi-level PNNI Topology Physically connect switches SWA1, SWA2, and SWA3. Similarly, physically connect switches SWB1, SWB2, and SWB3 (see Figure 4-1). Peer Group A Peer Group B Peer Group Leader Peer Group Leader SWA3 SWB3 SWA2 SWB2 SWA1 SWB1 Peer Group A = 50:39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:01:00:00:00 Peer Group B = 50:39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 Figure 4-1 Physical connectivity for multi-peer group example 2.
Multi-level PNNI Topology Note 3. PNNI Routing The first byte of the peer group ID indicates the peer group’s level. It also indicates the number of significant bits used in the peer group ID. For example, if the level indicator is 50 (80 decimal), then 80 bits / 8 = 10 bytes; and only 10 of the 13 bytes are significant (39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00). If you create a new peer group ID, make sure that the bytes you change are within the range of significant bytes for the peer group’s level.
PNNI Routing Multi-level PNNI Topology Do the same on switch SWB3: B3 # set pnnipglelection NodeIndex(1) LeadershipPriority(0) ParentNodeIndex(0) InitTime(15) OverrideDelay(30) ReElectTime(15) : : 205 : 2 : : : < Highest priority in election process < Node 2 will represent the peer group B in the parent group B3 # 7. Use the show pnnipglelection command to verify that switches SWA3 and SWB3 have become the PGLs of their respective peer groups.
Multi-level PNNI Topology PNNI Routing Connectivity is now established between the two peer groups. For example, if LANE services are running on a switch within peer group A, LANE clients can exist in group B. The clients in group B will traverse the link between the two groups, find the LANE server in group A, and join the ELAN. Figure 4-2 shows a logical representation of the topology created in the example.
PNNI Routing Multi-level PNNI Topology 2. Add a third node (at level 64) to either switch SWA3 or SWB3. 3. Use the set pnnipglelection command to designate the switch’s second node (not third) as the PGL for the parent peer group, and specify the third node as the parent node of the second. 4. Perform steps 2 and 3 for switches with the same role in the other level 72 parent groups.
Managing Parallel PNNI Links 4.3 PNNI Routing MANAGING PARALLEL PNNI LINKS SmartSwitch 6500s can be connected by more than one physical link. PNNI treats these connections as parallel physical links. By default, parallel links are considered to have equal capabilities with regard to call set ups. For example, if a second link is added between switch A3 and switch B3 (from the example above), this parallel link can be seen using the show pnnilink command.
PNNI Routing Managing Parallel PNNI Links Use the set pnniinterface command to set the administrative weight of a physical link originating from a particular port.
Managing Parallel PNNI Links PNNI Routing The physical connection from switch SWA2 to switch SWB2 is now advertised as a second logical link within the parent peer group (see Figure 4-4).
5 ROUTING 5.1 ADDITIONAL ROUTING PROTOCOLS Along with PNNI, the SmartSwitch 6500 supports additional ATM routing protocols: • • IISP — Use to connect with devices that do not support PNNI UNI — Use to connect end stations (also to connect devices whose implementation of ILMI is incompatible with the SmartSwitch 6500) Note 5.2 Both IISP and UNI routes are created and modified using the ATMRoute command.
IISP Routes Routing Note 5. Enter the show The add atmroute command allows you to specify a set of metrics to be used with the route. For more information on metrics and metric tags, see Section 5.4, Route Metrics. atmroute command to determine whether the route was created: Smart6500 # show atmroute AddressNumber(ALL) : No.
Routing IISP Routes Note Dotted lines in the diagrams below represent one-way IISP routes to the devices pointed to by the arrowheads. Each route is defined on the device from which the dotted line originates. Figure 5-1 IISP route across PNNI domain IISP Routing Example Two A second IISP device (Switch D) is added behind Switch A. If Switch D also needs to reach Switch C for LANE support, additional IISP routes must be defined between Switches D and C, B and D, and A and D.
UNI Routes 5.3 Routing UNI ROUTES Use the add atmroute command to create UNI routes. For example, connect an end station adapter (with MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55) to port 7A2 of the SmartSwitch 6500. If the adapter does not support ILMI or its ILMI is incompatible with the SmartSwitch 6500, you must create a static UNI route between the adapter and port 7A2 of the SmartSwitch 6500. The following is an example: 1.
Routing 5.4 Route Metrics ROUTE METRICS Route metrics are assigned to routes using a metric tag (one of the input parameters for add atmroute). The metric tag specifies a particular pair of incoming and outgoing metrics contained within a list of metrics. Metrics are created using the add pnnimetric command. Each metric pair specifies a set of values that describe a route’s Service Category, cell rates, bandwidth, and administrative weight.

Routing • IP Routing SW2 is connected to SW1 through PNNI, and both switches are part of the same emulated LAN. To reach SW2 with the Ethernet-based NMS, create an IP route that assigns SW1's switch client as SW2's default gateway to the network 128.205.99.0. Enter the following on SW2 (see Figure 5-3): Smart6500 # add route DestNetIP() : 128.205.99.0 GatewayIP() : 90.1.1.
IP Routing Routing Note The NMS must also contain a route that specifies the Ethernet interface of the Ethernet connected switch as the gateway to the ELAN subnet.
6 VIRTUAL PORTS AND STATIC CONNECTIONS 6.1 PVC CONNECTIONS The SmartSwitch 6500 supports Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs), both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint. Use PVCs to connect devices (that do not support SVCs) to a switch’s local client. Also, use PVCs to make connections through the SmartSwitch 6500 between devices that support only PVCs. Use point-to-point PVCs to connect one end node to another for two-way communication.
PVC Connections Virtual Ports and Static Connections For this example, we specify CBR as the traffic type, then take the remaining defaults. Enter the show trafficdescriptor command to obtain the index number of the new traffic descriptor. In this example, the index number is two (2).
Virtual Ports and Static Connections PVC Connections However, on a point-to-multipoint connection there should be no traffic in the backward direction, so we define the backward traffic descriptor with its Cell Loss Priorities set to zero (0) Smart6500 # add trafficdescriptor TrafficType(UBR) TrafficDescriptorType(11) PCRCLP01(100) QOSCLASS(0) AalType(5) < This is the backward traffic descriptor : : : 0 < Set PCRCLP01 to zero : : Smart6500 # 2.
PVP Connections 6.1.3 Virtual Ports and Static Connections Connecting to Local Switch Client Through a PVC All PVC connections to the SmartSwitch 6500 local clients use the CPU port. This port is either 7b4 or 8b4 depending on the slot in which the master TSM/CPU module resides. Follow these instructions to connect an end node to a SmartSwitch 6500 local client through a point-to-point PVC. 1. Use add pvc to create the PVC.
Virtual Ports and Static Connections • PVP Connections Use the set portconfig command to specify a number of bits to be used for VPIs (MaxVpiBits parameter). Note that a PVP cannot use VPI zero. Consequently, the number of VPI bits must be greater than zero (0) on both ports.

Typically, virtual ports are used for terminating Permanent Virtual Path (PVP) connections.
Virtual Ports Virtual Ports and Static Connections Note • Use the set portconfig command to turn off signaling on the physical port on which you are creating the virtual ports. Note • To assure that virtual ports receives the exact bandwidth required, you may want to assign them traffic descriptors that specify CBR as the service class. Signaling is usually not used on physical ports on which virtual ports are created. However, you can leave signaling active on the physical ports if necessary.

7 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT 7.1 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES This section describes how the SmartSwitch 6500 manages bandwidth and congestion. It briefly describes console commands that affect how the SmartSwitch 6500 manages traffic. This section also provides guidelines for setting some traffic control parameters. The SmartSwitch 6500 has extensive abilities for managing the flow of traffic.
Traffic Management Capabilities Traffic Management SmartSwitch 6500 user data cells are classified according to the state of a cell loss priority (CLP) bit in the header of each cell. A CLP 1 cell has a lower priority than a CLP 0 cell and is discarded first. Source traffic descriptors can specify CLP 0 cell traffic, CLP 1 cell traffic, or the aggregate CLP 0+1 traffic. Use the trafficdescriptor commands to view, create, and delete traffic descriptors.
Traffic Management Traffic Management Capabilities A user-defined PVC must have user-defined traffic descriptors. For instance, if a video link over a PVC requires a peak cell rate of 8000 kb/s, create a traffic descriptor for CBR traffic that specifies 8000 as the peak cell rate. Smart6500 # add trafficdescriptor TrafficType(UBR) TrafficDescriptorType(2) PCRCLP01(100) QOSCLASS(1) AalType(5) : cbr :3 :8000 : : Smart6500 # Each traffic descriptor is identified by a unique index number.
Traffic Management Capabilities Use the command show service.
Traffic Management 7.1.3 Traffic Management Capabilities Queue Buffers The SmartSwitch 6500 performs buffering using a shared-memory architecture. Buffer space is divided into queues for each class of service. In turn, ports are allocated some portion of each of the service class queues. This allocation is controlled on a per-port basis by the porttrafficcongestion commands. Qos is defined on an end-to-end basis in terms of cell loss ratio, cell transfer delay, and cell delay variation.
Traffic Management Capabilities • Traffic Management Queue 5 — Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) If calls of a particular service class are being dropped on a particular port, use the set command to raise the port’s queue Min threshold.
Traffic Management 7.1.4 Traffic Management Capabilities EFCI, EPD, and RM Cell Marking To control switch congestion, the SmartSwitch 6500 implements standard resource management cell (RM-cell) marking, explicit forward congestion indicator cell marking (with backward RM cell marking), and early packet discard (EPD). These congestion control schemes are triggered when the number of cells within shared memory reaches user-definable thresholds.

8 UPGRADES AND FIRMWARE 8.1 UPGRADING AND CHANGING FIRMWARE This section describes the low-level boot load commands. Boot load commands are used for setting switch start-up behavior and for performing firmware downloads.
Upgrading and Changing Firmware 8.1.2 Upgrades and Firmware Boot Load Commands The following table describes the commands available from the boot load prompt, their use, and their associated parameters. Table 8-1 Boot load commands Command Action Parameters chpi Change default boot load image: chpi 0 = set boot load image 0 as default Sets one of two images of the boot load firmware as the default. Default boot load image is executed at start-up.
Upgrades and Firmware Table 8-1 Upgrading and Changing Firmware Boot load commands (Continued) Command Action Parameters scsm Switch to the redundant CSM: none Tells the SmartSwitch 6500 to transfer CSM mastership to the slave CSM. swms Switches CPU mastership to other TSM/CPU: none Changes the slave TSM/CPU to the master.
Upgrading and Changing Firmware 8.1.3 Upgrades and Firmware Upgrading Boot Load firmware Two images of the boot load firmware reside in flash RAM. The two images are identified as boot load image 0 and boot load image 1. Both boot load images can be upgraded by using a TFTP/Bootp server. However, an upgrade is always written over the boot load image that is not currently running. This insures that if a boot load upgrade fails, there is still one good boot load image to fall back on.
Upgrades and Firmware Upgrading and Changing Firmware Changing the Default Boot Load Image Continuing with the example above, perform the following steps to set boot load image 0 back to being the default. 1. Reboot the SmartSwitch 6500. 2. When the following message appears “Preparing to run Default Primary Image: 1 Enter 0 or 1 to override and force one of these primary image sectors to run:” press the zero (0) key. The SmartSwitch 6500 loads boot load image 0. 3.

9 TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter provides basic troubleshooting for diagnosing and fixing problems with VLAN, emulated LANs, and ATM traffic congestion. 9.1 TROUBLESHOOTING IP OVER ATM You have configured an IP over ATM VLAN, but your network applications are not working. Use these questions and tests to help determine the cause of the problem. 1. Check for connectivity: Try pinging between end nodes and from the SmartSwitch 6500 (using ping) to its end nodes.
Troubleshooting LAN Emulation 5. Troubleshooting If working through these questions does not solve the problem, contact Cabletron Systems Customer Service. (See Appendix C, "Technical Support"). 9.2 TROUBLESHOOTING LAN EMULATION You have configured an Emulated LAN and your network applications are not working. Use these questions and tests to help determine the cause of the problem. 1. Check for connectivity. Try pinging between end nodes. Ping from the SmartSwitch 6500 (using ping) to its end nodes.
Troubleshooting - Troubleshooting PNNI Links Do devices begin to register with the LES and BUS once multi-point signaling is turned off? 7. Check whether BUS is connected. • Use show busclient to check whether devices are registered with the BUS. If clients are registered, check end node configuration. If not registered, check multi-point signaling. • Use set • to turn off multi-point signaling on a per-ELAN basis.
Troubleshooting Congestion Troubleshooting 2. Make certain that the switches in the other peer group support multi-level PGLs and border nodes. If not, the other switches must be placed in the same peer group as the SmartSwitch 6500 if you want them to connect. 3. Are the switches within the peer groups communicating with each other? If not, fix the connectivity problem within the peer group (see Section 9.3.1). 4.

Troubleshooting Events and Alarms Both events and alarms are stored within circular memory buffers. When the buffers become full, older events and alarms are overwritten by newer entries. Both events and alarms are stored in shared RAM. However, the 40 most recent alarms are also stored in flash RAM. Storing these 40 alarms in flash RAM makes them persistent between reboots of the SmartSwitch 6500, and provides information about the state of the switch prior to reboot. Note 9.5.
Events and Alarms Note Use the show alarms Troubleshooting Depending on the activity of your SmartSwitch 6500, the appearance of events on the SmartSwitch 6500 may be too frequent to use the SmartSwitch 6500 console comfortably. It is recommended that you turn on the automatic display of events only when troubleshooting. command to view a list of the currently logged alarms.
Troubleshooting 9.6 Saving Core Dumps SAVING CORE DUMPS The SmartSwitch 6500 core dump feature allows you to specify a local Ethernet host where, in the event of a system failure, the SmartSwitch 6500 sends a copy of its memory. SmartSwitch 6500 system memory is saved to two files, one containing CPU memory (core_cpu), the other common memory (core_cmn). These files can then be sent to Cabletron customer support for analysis.
Saving Core Dumps Troubleshooting If a system failure occurs while the core dump feature is enabled, the SmartSwitch 6500 console appears similar to the example below. The SmartSwitch 6500 then begins sending images of its memory to the core dump files on the TFTP server. Illegal access. Bus Error.
