| Abstract |
| |
| This redbook will help you secure and troubleshoot your LAN/ATM campus network. It also gives a broad understanding of the LAN/ATM architecture. In the redbook you will find: o A listing of IBM product offerings, providing brief information on the interfaces supported and their functions. o An introduction to the most important legacy LAN concepts, including such important things as frame types, frame conversion, and Spanning Tree. This will be especially useful for a thorough understanding of the most relevant concepts needed by the networking specialist when troubleshooting difficult situations. Needless to say, it will also be of much use to anybody wishing to better understand the real issues in legacy LAN networking, which of course expand also into the ATM-based campus networks. o An introduction to the most important ATM concepts used in campus networks, with an aim at making them clear cut and easily understandable as they are a much-needed prerequisite to effectively troubleshoot problems in ATM-based networks. o General rules for how to troubleshoot ATM campus networks. It provides information on the way console commands can be used to collect network status information. o Provides an approach to isolate and solve problems in ATM IP networks. The same approach can be used when trying to maintain a good working ATM network. o Guidelines for troubleshooting some of the common problems that can specifically arise when using LAN switches in campus networks, and illustrates these through the use of some problem scenarios. o Guidelines for problem determination in a LANE 1.0 or Classic IP (RFC 1577) environment. It also uses some typical problem scenarios to illustrate the use of these guidelines in diagnosing problems within IBM networks. o Methodology for troubleshooting problems commonly found in ATM networks containing bridges and routers. A classification of the symptoms experienced and their possible causes is also worth mentioning. In addition, some case studies are used to illustrate how the methodology can be applied to effectively resolve these kinds of problems. | |
