51. Having all ATM switches on your network in the same peer group is a simple way of assuring connectivity between all nodes However depending on the size and complexity of your network there are advantages to dividing your PNNI network into different peer groups and levels The basic steps for creating multiple peer groups and multiple levels are as follows e Set the peer group IDs of SmartSwitch 6500s to differentiate their peer group membership e Select one or more SmartSwitch 6500 within each peer group as the Peer Group Leader PGL e Adda higher level PNNI node to each PGL switch This higher level node represents its peer group as a Logical Group Node LGN within the next highest parent peer group Connectivity between the peer groups is established within the parent peer group e Communicate the PGL s existence to the rest of the peer group by setting its leadership priority Physically connect the two peer groups 4 2 1 Connecting Multiple Peer Groups This section presents a practical step by step example of creating a multi level multiple peer group topology The example is based on the following components and organization see Figure 4 1 e Six SmartSwitch 6500s divided into two peer groups Three SmartSwitch 6500s in peer group A switches SWA1 SWA2 and SWA3 Three SmartSwitch 6500s in peer group B switches SWB1 SWB2 and SWB3 4 2 SmartSwitch 6500 User Guide PNNI Routing Multi level PNNI Topology 1
