Specifying the MPS Control ATM Address
To exist within the ATM environment, the MPS must be part of a service record.
In automatic mode, the MPS uses the information from the service record to
obtain address information from the ILMI address registration. In manual mode,
however, you must assign the ATM address that the MPS uses.
To fully specify the MPS control ATM address, you must set the following address
parameters:
• Control ATM address network prefix
• Control ATM address user part
Setting the Control ATM Address Network Prefix
The control ATM address network prefix specifies the ATM domain of which the
MPS is a part. This 13-byte portion of the ATM address can range from
XX000000000000000000000000 to XXFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
The XX byte must contain 39, 45, or 47. These values define the authority and
format identifier (AFI). The AFI byte identifies the group responsible for
allocating the prefix and the format the prefix uses. For more information about
the AFI byte, refer to the ATM Forum UNI specification.
Entering an ATM address network prefix is optional. If you do not enter a network
prefix in the specified range, the MPS accepts the first prefix value that it receives
from the switch.
Note:
These parameters also appears in the MPS List window for display
purposes only. You must configure the control ATM address at the service
record level.
Note:
Each MPS obtains its ATM network prefix from the network prefix
assigned to the MPOA service record. This means that all MPOA servers that
you add to an MPOA service record will have the same ATM network prefix.
