The newly created metric pair appears at the top of the list as metrics 1 and 2.
Once the metric is created, we can specify its metric tag number within the definition of a route:
Smart6500 # add atmroute
PortNumber() : 6b2
AtmAddress() : 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:55:77:88

5.5 IP ROUTING
The SmartSwitch 6500 switch provides limited IP routing. IP routing allows switches that are not connected directly
to Ethernet to communicate with an Ethernet-based network management system (NMS). The connection is made by
adding IP routes on the non-connected switches that specify a client on a connected switch as their gateway to the
Ethernet.
Note SmartSwitch 6500 IP routing performance is inadequate for routing between
VLANs. If you need to create routes between VLANs on your SmartSwitch 6500,
use a router equipped with an ATM interface. Consult Cabletron Customer
Support for recommended routers.
For example,
Switch SW1 and the NMS are on an Ethernet network with address 128.205.99.0.
The IP address of SW1's Ethernet port is 128.205.99.254.
The IP address of SW1's LANE client is 90.1.1.254.
The IP address of SW2's LANE client is 90.1.1.33.
SW2 is not physically connected to the Ethernet network.
