Adding Connections in a Tiered Network Through the CLI
Adding a connection in a tiered network requires that you add local segments and a network segment.
The following steps illustrate the setup for each segment for an interworking connection:
Step 1 For segment 1:
addcon slot.port.DLCI local_nodename slot.vpi1.vci1
where the first slot has a Frame Relay card, and the second slot has a BTM. (In an IGX interface shelf,
the only card that supports the trunk to the hub is the BTM.)
Step 2 The network segment:
addcon slot.port.vpi1.vci1 remote_nodename slot.port.vpi2.vci2
where the card in slot is a BNI
Step 3 For segment 2:
addcon slot.vpi2.vci2 local_nodename slot.port.DLCI
where the second slot is a Frame Relay card.
Note The vpi and vci must match only at the segment on the local interface shelf. Apart from this
requirement, the vpi.vci on segment 1 can also be the same as the vci.vpi on segment 2.
Converting a Routing Node to an Interface Shelf
To convert a routing node to an interface shelf, first remove the routing node from the network by
deleting all connections then deleting and downing all lines and trunks. See information in the WAN
Switching System Overview, or in the interface shelf section in the Understanding and Enabling
Software Functions on IGX 8400 Switches tech note.
