HyperSwitch A100 Software Configuration

The following procedures step you through an example of an initial configuration of the HyperSwitch A100.


Setting Local Host Name, IP Address, and IP Subnet Mask

Perform the following to set the local host name, IP address, and IP mask for the Ethernet port.

Step 1 Set the local (HyperSwitch A100) host name, IP address, and IP mask for the Ethernet port as follows. 
passwd=c# set local a100 99.99.10.10 255.255.255.0        
a100#

Step 2 Verify that the host name displayed changes to the one you entered.


Creating and Deleting Switched Virtual Circuits

The following sections contain examples of creating and deleting switched virtual circuits (SVCs). All of these examples are based on creating connections between two ATM hosts or routers, one connected to port 0 on the HyperSwitch A100 and the other ATM host or router connected to port 7 on the HyperSwitch A100.


Creating Switched Virtual Circuits

Perform the following steps to add SVC routes.

Step 1 Connect an ATM host or router to the HyperSwitch A100.

Step 2 On the router or ATM host connected to the HyperSwitch A100, verify that SVCs can be created.

For example:

Verify ATM NSAP AA1234.... on port 0 host.

Verify ATM NSAP BB1234.... on port 7 host.

Step 3 Enter the route add command to add routes. (Enter route add ? to determine the command syntax.) The following example uses network service access point (NSAP) prefix matching. 
a100# route add AA12345678 nsap 0        
SVC route has been added.
 
a100# route add BB12345678 nsap 1
SVC route has been added.

Step 4 To display newly created routes, enter the show route command, as in the following example: 
         
a100# show route
Destination                                  Type   1st_Choice 2nd_Choice
AA12345678 XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX NSAP        0          -
BB12345678 XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX NSAP        7          -

Step 5 Create an SVC by sending data from the ATM host or router on port 0 to the ATM host or router on port 7. Enter the show svc command to verify that the SVC is created. Enter show svc ? to determine the command syntax. 
a100# show svc 0        
Line Number  :  1
Uni/Bi  Guaranteed/Best Effort  Mbps        LN    VPI    VCI  LN    VPI    VCI
     1        Best Effort         0.0        0      0    128   7      0    129


Deleting Routes Options

SVC route entries may be deleted one at a time or all at once with the following commands.

Enter route ? to determine the command syntax. 

a100# route delete ?        
<Destination>  Destination Address
               Type:NSAP  Max:40char (0-9,A-F,X)
               Type:E.164 Max:16char (0-9,X)
<Type>         Type NSAP or E.164
a100#


Option 1: Deleting One SVC Route Entry

To delete one route entry, enter the route delete command, as in the following example: 

a100# route delete aa12345678 nsap        
SVC route has been deleted.


Option 2: Deleting All SVC Routes

To delete the entire routing table, enter the route flush command, as in the following example: 

a100# route flush        
SVC routing table has been flushed.
a100#


Creating Permanent Virtual Circuits

The following is an example of how to create a PVC between an ATM host or router connected to port 0 on the HyperSwitch A100 and the ATM host or router connected to port 7 on the HyperSwitch A100. This example will establish a bidirectional best effort PVC between VPI/VCI 0/10 on port 0 to VPI/VCI 0/10 on port 7.

For example: 

a100# pvc establish 1 1 0 0 0 10 512 1  7 0 10 512 1        
***Bi direction Best Effort Connection has been established.
Low           : 0,   0,   10,  512,1
High          : 7,   0,   10,  512,1
Note Configure the PVC VPI/VCI parameters on the ATM host or router to match the VPI/VCI PVC values on the HyperSwitch A100.

The following examples show the available parameters of the pvc ? and pvc establish ? commands.

For example: 

a100# pvc ?        
establish      Establish PVC
delete         Delete PVC,line/VPI/VCI are required.
add            Add endpoint to existing uni-direction PVC
remove         Remove endpoint from existing uni-direction PVC
a100#

For example: 

a100# pvc establish ?        
<Direction>    Direction of connection Uni(0),Bi(1) or Multicast(2)
<Traffic>      Traffic type Guaranteed(0) or Best Effort(1)
<Throughput>   Throughput 0-155(Mbps)
<LowLine>      Low  line number 0-15
<LowVP>        Low  VPI  0-4095
<LowVC>        Low  VCI  0-4095
<LowUPVP>      Low  UPVP 0-512
<LowCOOP>      Low  COOP 1:Discard violated cells 0:Pass violated cells
<HighLine>     High line number 0-15
<HighVP>       High VPI  0-4095
<HighVC>       High VCI  0-4095
<HighUPVP>     High UPVP 0-512
<HighCOOP>     High COOP 1:Discard violated cells 0:Pass violated cells


Displaying PVC Information

To display PVC information, enter the show pvc line or show pvc detail command as in the following example: 

a100# show pvc detail 0 0 10        
Direction of Connection:Bi
Traffic Type:Best Effort
Throughput  :0Mbps
Low             Line Number, VPI, VCI , UPVP,COOP:
                     0     ,   0,   10,  512,  1 
High            Line Number, VPI, VCI , UPVP,COOP:
                     7     ,   0,   10,  512,  1 
 
a100#

Enter the show pvc line ? and show pvc detail ? to determine further command options, as in the following examples: 

a100#sh pvc line ?        
<Line>         Line number 0-15
<VPI>          VPI 0-4095
a100#
a100#sh pvc detail ?
<Line>         Line number 0-15
<VPI>          VPI 0-4095
<VCI>          VCI 0-4095
a100#.
