I've had problems also. The theory is that ILMI is needed for the switch to le
arn about the NSAP you configured on an ATM endpoint (router, lane blade, etc.)
. The LS1010 can't route to your NSAP until it knows it exists.

Mark Lewis got SVCs to work without ILMI by putting ATM static routes in his LS
 (see "TA-DAH!!! ATM SVCS WITH NO ILMI!!!!!" posted September 28).

MY problem was with LANE. ILMI looked like it was "up and operational", but cl
ients did not learn the address set in the LS1010 with the "atm-lecs-address-de
fault" command.

Subject: A little NSAP help

    Hi, guys. Having been through the lab twice and both times configuring the
ATM part fine, I thought I understood this stuff. I better think again. Here's
my question.
    When configuring a full NSAP address on a ATM interface, should I need ILMI
? I have always configured ILMI on all ATM interfaces as a habit, but I though
t that it was only used for address registration. If I hard code an NSAP addres
s on an itnerface and configure QSAAL, why won't the switch route the NSAP's th
rough the signalling pvc.
    My problem is that if I configure an NSAP address on two routers conencted
to an LS1010, I can't get them to talk, with or without ILMI.
    As soon as I take the prefix from the switch and just configure the ESI and
 selector, its all good.
    Is there a knob on the LS1010 I haven't got turned on?
    Thanks!
