Yep, I finally said the word no one wants to talk about...ATM.
I assume, most of you, like me, have no ATM experience or hardware in
your lab.
I'm wondering if we can spend some time, 3-4 days, talking about it.
Since for example, Caslow, doesn't spend any time discussing configs
or hardware connectivity.
Paul, my hope is that this may be worth a FAQ or a .PDF file we can
compile if the input and interest is sufficient.
Here are some questions to get the ball rolling. These are questions
to stimulate discussion so we can be prepared for the lab.
1. What hardware constitutes a client to client connection via ATM, in
other words, what's in the middle? I imagine some connection of
switches and a router to get between elan's but I'm not sure how. What
are the possible router/switch interfaces/modules we might see and
need to configure? Please provide diags if you can. I don't know how
this stuff is cabled.
2. With respect to the lab, I assume we will have to configure some of
these devices, for Lane. What does a Lane config look like? Where do
you configure the LES, LECS, and BUS? Can these be done on one
router/switch?
3. What configuration needs to be done on a switch versus a router?
4. What's the difference between a Lightstream (LS1010) and a Cat5k ?
5. What if any, is the connection between ELAN's and VLAN's ? How do
you configure a router to route between ELAN's and where is the router
placed/connected to?
6. What are some common configuration issues?
7. Please present some examples of configs.
