ATM Commands—BlackDiamond 6800
Series Platforms Only
The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) module is an I/O module for the BlackDiamond 6800 series
chassis-based system. The ATM module connects a BlackDiamond 6800 series switch to the ATM
infrastructure used by metropolitan area service providers or enterprise customers and operators of
server co-location networks.
Key applications for the ATM module are:
• Interconnecting metropolitan area networks across an ATM network infrastructure.
• Interconnecting server co-location network sites directly using ATM links.
• Providing connectivity between a legacy Enterprise ATM network and an Ethernet backbone.
In the first application, the metropolitan area network service provider can build service network sites
in various cities, then use ATM modules in a BlackDiamond 6800 series switch to connect those cities to
a carrier’s ATM infrastructure.
In the second application, operators of server co-location networks can use ATM modules in
BlackDiamond 6800 series switches to create an ATM-based connection between server co-location sites.
The result is that their network is simpler to manage, and problems can be isolated and resolved more
expediently.
In the third application, a service provider can provide Ethernet-based services by using ATM modules
in a BlackDiamond 6800 series switch to connect its enterprise ATM network to an Ethernet backbone.
Extreme Networks offers the ATM module in the following configurations:
• A3cSi: four OC-3c/STM-1 single-mode, intermediate-reach optical interfaces
• A3cMi: four OC-3 multimode, short-reach optical interfaces
This chapter describes the ATM command set. Some commands are new for the PoS modules; other
commands have been enhanced to support the ATM modules.
