CHAPTER 3

ILMI 4.0 AND THE SMARTSWITCH 9500 SYSTEM

This chapter provides an overview of how the SmartSwitch 9500 system uses ILMI 4.0 to 
provide a flexible, multi-protocol ATM switch. The auto-configuration features of ILMI 4.0 
allow the SmartSwitch 9500 to support all standard ATM Signalling and Routing protocols on 
both front panel and backplane interfaces on an interface by interface basis. This chapter also 
describes how minimum and maximum values may be set to limit the VPI and VCI values that 
ILMI will assign to connection requests.

3.1

ILMI AUTOCONFIGURATION EXAMPLES

Figure 3-1

 provides five examples that display how each 9A656-04 in the SmartSwitch 9500 

system can support a variety of different Signalling protocols per front panel and backplane 
interface. Depending on the configuration of the device to which it is attached, the 9A656-04 
adjusts its Signalling stack to meet the requirements of the other device. If the other device is 
upgraded, and requires a new Signalling stack, the individual 9A656-04 interface will 
automatically change its Signalling stack to the requested protocol. Refer to the following 
sections for brief descriptions of the five examples provided in 

Figure 3-1

.

NOTE

For additional information on ILMI, refer to the ATM Forum’s ILMI 4.0 Specification. 
This document may be downloaded from the following URL:

All references to the CTM backplane or CTM interfaces apply ONLY to the 
9A656-04 ATM SmartSwitch module, as the 9A600 does not connect to the CTM 
backplane.
