IISP Routes Routing
Note 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.
5. Enter the show atmroute command to determine whether the route was created:
Smart6500 # show atmroute
AddressNumber(ALL) :
No. Port Route Address Type Protocol

The route to the IISP device appears as Route 7, and with Protocol Type of MGMT (management).
6. Create a route on the IISP device that refers to the netprefix
(
39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:41:80) of port 5b2 on the SmartSwitch 6500.
Note For IISP routes to work with certain devices, ILMI may also need to be disabled
on the SmartSwitch 6500. Use the
set portconfig command to disable ILMI on
the SmartSwitch 6500 on a per-port basis.
5.2.1 IISP Routing Considerations
When creating routes between the SmartSwitch 6500 (running PNNI) and IISP devices, the criteria that characterize
IISP connectivity still apply. To reach a SmartSwitch 6500 within the PNNI domain, the IISP device must have a
configured route that points directly to a port on the target SmartSwitch 6500. Conversely, there must be a SmartSwitch
6500 that has a direct physical link (and a route over that link) to the IISP device. The following two examples illustrate
this point.
IISP Routing Example One
In Figure 5-1 Switch A is an IISP device connected to the PNNI domain through Switch B. Switch A contains an LEC,
which is a member of an ELAN whose LECS is on Switch C (within the PNNI domain). If the LEC on Switch A is to
make contact with the LECS on Switch C, Switch A must contain an IISP route directly to switch C. Furthermore,
Switch B must contain a route to switch A over the physical link that connects the two switches.
