We are starting this FAQ page. Later on it will be a self running data
base or forum and you can type in your topics and solutions yourself. |
Could you confirm please if the Centillion switches and their management
software are in any way dependant on compliance with the new Euro
symbol.Absolutely no !
A switch (and a router) should be and must be absolutely transparent for transporting
data of any kind. The admin- and/or config- programs are working on a plain ascii basis. |
Question : I have 10 Centillion 100's (5 100 port + 5 80 port) I have them all
interconnected physically via the ATMSpeed 155 ports. I am completley new to
ATM and cannot work out how to setup the PVC's / SPVC's correctly.
--------------------
Answer : You need to learn much about ATM, there are some documents on
http://www.bayswitches.com/downloads/documentation.htm
search for "atm ethernet gigabit"
load :
ATM vs Gigabit Ethernet: A Technical Perspective
ATM vs Gigabit Ethernet: A Business Perspective
- both are from Nortel, it is not everything true there, but it helps to understand, that
you cannot interconnect the C100´s with ATM, but running ethernet over the other ports.
That does not work, cannot work !
If you use the ATM 155 fiber ports, you must use the lan emulation (LANE) for ethernet,
loosing a lot of bandwidth. |
| Question : So I cannot use the ATM ports to create an ATM backbone interlinking the
C100's ? - If this is the case how do I interlink them ATM Router or the ethernet
ports ? Answer : If I do understand your needs right, you like to use Ethernet PC´s and
Servers and
you like to interconnect the C100´s over ATM fiber.
That does not work.
If you transport ATM packets over the network, they will not be convertet to Ethernet
packets like on a Cisco Router.-
We use 7505 Cisco´s to come from the ATM backbone, having a 155 MBit ATM Adapter on that
side, have another 10/100 MBit Adapter in this router and getting Ethernet out. |
