Preparing Network Connections
For wide-area networking, ATM is currently being standardized for use in Broadband Integrated
Services Digital Networks (BISDNs) by the International Telecommunications Union
Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) (formerly the Consultative Committee for
International Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT)) and the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI). BISDN supports rates from E3 (34 Mbps) to multiple gigabits per second (Gbps). The DS3
interface performs physical layer translation from the AIP to a DS3 line interface in accordance with
ATM Forum UNI Specification Version 3.1, ACCUNET T45 service specifications, and ANSI
T1.107.
The ATM User-to-Network Interface (UNI) specification defines the required MIB functionality for
ATM interfaces. Refer to the ATM UNI specification for additional details.
ATM UNI information is arranged into a MIB fashion. MIB attributes are readable and writable
across the Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) using a Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP). The ILMI uses SNMP, without UDP, and interface processor addressing along
with the ATM MIB.
The AIP supports RFC 1213 interface MIBs as specified in the ATM MIB V2 specification.
The ATM interface cable is used to connect your router to an ATM network or to connect two routers
back-to-back. Cables can be obtained from the following cable vendors:
•
•
•
•
•
For TAXI 4B/5B traffic over multimode fiber, use the multimode MIC interface cable to connect the
AIP with the external ATM switch. (See Figure 2-2.)
Figure 2-2
For SONET/SDH multimode connections, use one multimode duplex SC connector (see Figure 2-3)
or two single SC connectors. (See Figure 2-4.)
