Hi all,
On page 570, in Practical Studies, it says, "The prefix is obtained
automatically from the immediately attached ATM switch by using ILMI. Various
options are available for the ESI assignment-you can use the MAC address of
one of the attached LAN interfaces of a router, or you can assign an arbitary
address coinciding with the interaface's IP address. For example, if the IP
address of the ATM interfaces (or subinterface) is 177.10.168.1, you can
assign the ESI to be 0177.1016.8100."
A friend says this is wrong and reminds me that Solie's book is full mistakes.
He also told me that he knows that the ESI address entered must be what the
ATM is expecting from first hand experience. He was doing a practice lab and
couldn't establish connectivity until he entered on the router the specific
ESI configured on the directly attached ATM switch.
I'm hoping someone can settle this and explain why the right answer is right.
Thanks in advance. dt
