Introduction
This guide provides the information that you need to
install and configure the IBM 8271 Nways Ethernet
LAN Switch ATM OC-3c Module (agent software
version 1.05) within an IBM 8271 Nways Ethernet
LAN switch which has version 3.1 agent software
installed.
This guide is intended for use by network administrators
who are responsible for installing and setting up
networking equipment. It assumes a basic working
knowledge of Local Area Networks.
This guide explains
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
and
LAN Emulation (LANE)
concepts, and provides a
Bibliography for further reading.
The Release Notes shipped with the ATM Module may
contain information that updates or overrides
information in this guide. You should always follow
the information in the Release Notes if it is different
from the information given in this guide.
Terminology
In this User’s Guide the term ATM Module is used when
referring to the IBM 8271 Nways Ethernet LAN Switch
ATM OC-3c Module.
The device into which the ATM Module is fitted, is
known simply as the
Switch
. An example of a Switch
is the IBM 8271 Nways Ethernet LAN Switch
Model 624.
This type of Switch is often referred to as an
edge-device
,
edge-switch
or
boundary switch
.
The term
ATM Switch
is used to identify the ATM
device to which the edge-switch is connected.
Switches in IBM’s 8271 Nways Ethernet LAN Switch
device range provide support for the ATM Module.
ATM Terminology
This user guide uses the term
Network-To-Network
Interface (NNI)
. You may know this protocol by its
alternative name,
Network-to-Node Interface (NNI)
.
Additional ATM definitions can be found in the
Glossary at the end of this guide.
