3Com 6416SW Network Card User Manual


 
You can configure multiple logical links over the same physical port. However, you can
only configure one logical link (using one pair of ATM ports) for each ATM
cluster-to-cluster or subnetwork-to-subnetwork connection.
Using Static Routes
In an ONcore/CELLplex 4000 ATM network, you can only set a logical link to a cluster
number (ACN) that is defined within your own ATM subnetwork. In order to set up a
logical link with a remote cluster outside your own subnetwork, you must use the SET
STATIC_ROUTE command to assign an ACN to the network prefix of the boundary hub
of each remote cluster to which you want to link. The SET LOGICAL_LINK command
then will be able to set up a connection to this logical hub using its assigned ACN.
Trunks Within a Single Cluster/Subnetwork
To define a logical link between switches within the same cluster or subnetwork, use the
SET LOGICAL_LINK command to set the following parameters for each port in each
switch:
Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) number
ATM cluster number (ACN) for the remote switch
Bandwidth available on the virtual path
Signalling role for Q.2931 protocol.
