Sample ATM Network
An ATM network often contains components — both hardware and software —
that provide various forms of connectivity or necessary management functions.
This appendix
• Illustrates how Bay Networks ATM hardware and software components
logically fit together within a sample ATM network
• Provides basic functional descriptions of the ATM hardware and software
components used in the sample network
This sample network (Figure D-1) consists of all the components necessary to
fully operate an ATM network. Depending on how you configure the individual
hardware and software components, you can run standard ATM PVCs and SVCs,
configure logical IP subnets using RFC 1577, and create virtual LANs (VLANs)
using LAN emulation.
