CHAPTER 2
BASIC SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes the basic procedures that may be performed at the system level to allow
the SmartSwitch 9500 chassis to begin functioning in the network immediately. These
procedures are accomplished by using the Local Management application of the
SmartSwitch 9500. Upon completion of the tasks covered in this chapter, the SmartSwitch
9500 chassis will function properly in the ATM network, provide security control to
management functions via Community Names, be managed In-Band, Out-of-Band, and via
SNMP Management applications, and will send SNMP Traps to network management
stations.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Assigning In-Band, SMB-10, and Out-Of-Band IP addresses to the SmartSwitch 9500
chassis.
• Assigning SNMP Community Names to the SmartSwitch 9500 chassis.
• Designating IP Address of network management stations to receive SNMP Traps from the
SmartSwitch 9500 chassis.
• Viewing current SmartSwitch 9500 power supply information via the Chassis Power
Screen.
NOTE
The SmartSwitch 9500 is, by default, an SVC only switch. To create PVCs, the ILMI
parameters must be changed from the default settings.
Chapter 3 provides details
on ILMI. Section 2.16 provides instructions on changing the default ILMI
configuration.
The SmartSwitch 9500 system has been designed to be plug and play when
installed in an environment that is made up exclusively of other SmartSwitch 9500s.
The following settings MUST be changed when the system is installed in a mixed
environment:
PNNI Level ( Section 2.15 )
NSAP Prefix ( Section 2.15 )
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.
