Setting the ATM Address of the Workgroup Switch
A default ATM address is provided with the workgroup switch. You can continue to use this default
address only if you use your workgroup switch as a standalone ATM switch. If you want to connect the
workgroup switch to other ATM subsystems, its ATM address must be defined as follows:
AFI-RDN The first (leftmost) 11 bytes of the Network Prefix is the address of the ATM subnetwork to
which the ATM Workgroup Switch belongs.
If the ATM campus network is connected to a public carrier, this address is assigned by the
appropriate administrative authority.
ACN If the ATM subnetwork contains multiple ATM clusters, this byte specifies the number of the
cluster to which the workgroup switch belongs.
HN If the ATM cluster contains multiple ATM subsystems, this byte specifies the number of the
workgroup switch in the cluster.
To set the ATM address for a workgroup switch, use the SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS command:

The SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS command automatically saves the new address and resets the ATM
subsystem.
