Reliable
backup
network
configurations
are
possible
with
the
HyperSwitch
A100
through
the use
of
redundant
network
connections
See
Figure
1-4
The
HyperSwitch
AlOO
will
automatically
tear
down
any
switched
virtual
connections
through
failed
link
allowing
end
systems
to
resignal
for
new
connection
while
bypassing
the
failed
link
Cisco
ATM
routers
can
also
support
dual-homed
connections
and
route
around
failed
links
thus providing
the
same
level of
reliability
on
ATM
backbones
that
can
be
achieved
today
using
router
backbones

The
HyperSwitch
A100
supports
wide
range
of
LAN
and
WAN
ATM
interfaces
All interfaces
conform
to
the relevant
applicable
standards
including
those
of the
ATM
Forum
ETSI
TiS
1.5
and
the
ITU-T
Because
the
HyperSwitch
A100
is
designed
for
backbone
deployment
it
will
support
such
WAN
interfaces
as
DS3 B3
and
single-mode
fiber
SONET/SDH
This
capability allows
seamless
connectivity
between
the
ATM
campus
backbone
and
ATM
public
and
private
WANs
In
addition
the
HyperSwitch
A100
can
be used
in
workgroups
to
support
power
users with
direct
ATM
desktop
interfaces
In order
to
facilitate
such
deployment
the
HyperSwitch
AlOO
will
support
the
emerging
ATM
Forum
