Interface Type Section
This section prompts you for the ATM interface
type configuration of the ports on the Interface Modules which are
installed in the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch chassis.
There are four interface types: UNI, E-IISP, IISP and PNNI. The UNI type is
normally used when an edge device is connecting to a switch. The E-IISP
type is normally used when connecting to another CoreBuilder 7000 or
9000 switch. The IISP type is used to connect to a device which does not
recognize the E-IISP protocol used by the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM
switch such as switches of other vendors. The PNNI type is normally used
to connect switches to other similar or different types of switches when
you want each switch to have a global view of the entire network.
PNNI is available in version 4.5 extended only.
To enter the interface type configuration:
1
At the NNI type of port prompt, enter the NNI type for the port you just
specified. Enter “U” for UNI, enter “E” for E-IISP, enter “I” for IISP, or “P”
for PNNI.
2
Repeat step 1 until you have specified the interface type for all of the
ports that are in the Corebuilder 7000 family ATM switch chassis.
