(MPC) facilities to vastly increase the

Layer 3 forwarding capacity of existing

switching hardware, such as the high-

density EtherSpeed and TokenSpeed

switching modules. This new feature

will enable the Layer 3 capacity of

Centillion networks to scale to millions

of packets per second. In contrast to

third-party products based on central-

ized processing architectures, MPC

activation in Centillion LAN-ATM

solutions will not require the installation

of additional hardware modules.

Network Management

The Centillion switches can be

conﬁgured, monitored, and controlled

through the Bay Networks Optivity

and SpeedView

™

management

applications.

Optivity

®

, the industry leading man-

agement solution from Bay Networks,

provides sophisticated yet straightfor-

ward management of Centillion ATM

environments.

A key component of Optivity

Enterprise, the Optivity NETarchitect

™

application automates and simpliﬁes

crucial management tasks, particularly:

• Conﬁguration of sophisticated

Centillion LAN-ATM network systems.

• Distribution of conﬁgurations into

the appropriate parts of the overall

switched network infrastructure.

NETarchitect consists of two basic

system-oriented tools—File Manager

and Conﬁguration Editor. The File

Manager delivers a comprehensive

and scalable system for conﬁguring

and maintaining sophisticated image

ﬁles for an entire enterprise network.

The NETarchitect Conﬁguration

Editor uses an intuitive, object-

oriented interface to automate LANE

service setup and overall ATM

network conﬁguration. Unauthorized

changes are prevented by Security

Editor, which only enables authorized

individuals to access an integrated,

object-oriented database for switch

conﬁguration tasks.

The Conﬁguration Editor presents

an object hierarchy with associated

attribute panels in an easy-to use

interface consistent with many

popular Windows software products.

NETarchitect features a multi-user,

client/server design that enables users

to select from several conﬁguration

workspaces. Concurrency is managed

across simultaneous editing sessions,

and conﬁguration changes are

intelligently veriﬁed and validated

for accuracy. This greatly reduces the

potential for misconﬁgurations, and

minimizes the need for troubleshoot-

ing during installation roll-outs.

Suitable for smaller networks and

device-by-device conﬁguration, the

easy-to-use, graphical SpeedView

application also enables network

managers to conﬁgure and monitor

networks of Centillion switches. In

Windows environments, SpeedView

is available as a standalone application

that is bundled with Optivity Campus

™

management software. In UNIX envi-

ronments, SpeedView is a component

of Optivity Enterprise. Both versions

deliver rich statistical displays that are

complemented by simple, intuitive

utilities for conﬁguring switching

parameters, enabling performance

to be ﬁnely tuned to meet varying

network conditions. The SpeedView

application can be used to set up ATM

signaling, create and conﬁgure LECs,

and enable redundant LANE services.

Year 2000 Compliance

Centillion switches have been tested

and certiﬁed Year 2000 compliant by

Bay Networks according to the test

cases identiﬁed in Bay Networks

Year 2000 Test Strategy/Plan.
