Troubleshooting IBM LAN/ATM Campus Networks

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.
