housed in the same CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch chassis,
overriding any existing admin VLAN names.
Setup Modes
The Integrated Fast Setup provides two setup modes: the “Full” setup
mode and the “Switch” setup mode.
Full Setup Mode
The Full setup mode configures both the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM
switch and the installed interface cards. It sets the required parameter
values in all the installed interface cards. The Full setup mode presents
only the most critical parameters; default values are assumed for the
remaining parameters.
This method is recommended for most users, especially for initial setup.
Only those systems that require specific parameter settings in one or
more of the installed interface cards will require the Switch setup mode
described in the next section.
Switch Setup Mode
The Switch setup mode focuses only on the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM
switch and its ATM ports. The Switch setup mode allows you to retain
special settings in the interface cards. In this mode, the installed interface
card configurations cannot be changed. If you want to alter the settings
in an interface card, use the Fast Setup of that interface card after you are
finished using the Switch setup procedure.
Setup Mode Selection
If one of the following conditions is detected, the operator is prompted
to choose between the Switch and Full setup modes:
■
A Subnet Mask, Default Gateway or NMS Address different from that
of the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch
■
A VLAN whose ATM connection is set to “No”
■
The name of the ELAN to which the default admin port (Port #1 in
each slot) is attached is not the same in all interface cards.
If none of these situations is detected, Full setup mode is automatically
selected.
