Setting Up Trunks (Logical Links)
To connect the ATM Workgroup Switch to another ATM switch, you must create a trunk using the SET
LOGICAL_LINK command.
See “Connecting ATM Devices to Form a Network” on page 33 for a description of the strategy for
setting up trunk links in an ATM network.
The
IBM 8285/8260: ATM Command Reference Guide also gives an example of the SET LOGICAL_LINK
command.
Setting Static Routes to Other Subnetworks
If a switch to which you want to connect resides in another ATM subnetwork, you must also assign a
local ATM cluster number (ACN) to the static route for that subnetwork. The ACN you assign is used in
the SET LOGICAL_LINK command to establish the logical link between the two subnetworks.
For example, to map the static route ‘45337741531200010204’ to ACN 3:
à
@
ð

>
set static_route 453377415312ððð1ð2ð4 3
The static route you enter with the SET STATIC_ROUTE command can be up to 19 bytes.
