Defining the ATM Address of the 6416SW
A default ATM address is provided with the 6416SW. You can continue to use this
default address only if you use your 6416SW as a stand-alone ATM switch.
If you want to connect the 6416SW to other ATM subsystems, the 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 this 6416SW 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 this 6416SW belongs.
HN If the ATM cluster contains multiple ATM subsystems, this byte specifies the
number of this 6416SW in the cluster.
This address is assigned to the 6416SW using the SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS
command, which automatically saves the ATM address and resets the ATM subsystem.
