ATM Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) features
available for the Enterasys Xpedition. ATM is a cell switching technology used to establish
multiple connections over a physical link, and configure each of these connections with its
own traffic parameters. This provides more control over specific connections within a
network.
The ATM line card provides an ATM interface, allowing integration of ATM with Ethernet
and other interfaces within a network topology supported by the XP. This chapter
discusses the following tasks:
• Creating a Virtual Channel
• Creating a Service Profile Definition
• Applying a Service Profile Definition
• Enabling Cell Scrambling
• Selecting the Cell Mapping Format
• Setting the Bit Allocation for VPI
• Displaying ATM Statistics
