Ethernet Connectivity
If you decide to use an Ethernet adapter in your NMS workstation, SmartSwitch ATM Administrator can manage your
ATM switch network through each switch’s Ethernet interface. However, depending on your network’s topology,
managing through Ethernet may pose connectivity challenges.
For example, in figure Figure 4-6, two ATM switches are displayed as generic switch icons (gray boxes, identified by
the IP address of their LANE client). In this case, each of these generic switches are not connected to the Ethernet
network, but are connected to the other switches through ATM only. Ethernet connected switches adjacent to the
generic switches inform ATM Administrator of the existence of the generic switches. However, because the generic
switches are not connected to the Ethernet network, the NMS cannot reach these devices, and ATM Administrator
cannot communicate with them to find out what they are.
