Inband for Subtending
Multiple Avidia systems can be implemented, viewed, and managed as if they were one system.
This type of management is known as subtending. One system is connected at the edge of the
network and is the subtending system. The other systems are managed by the subtending
system. See
“Subtending Multiple Systems” on page 45 .
Through inband management, the systems can be viewed and managed as if they were one.
The inband management of a subtended system from an NMS/EMS occurs by indicating the
IP address and OID in the SNMP request for the destination subtended system.

RIDGING AND

OUTING
The Avidia system provides the ability to bridge and/or route Ethernet traffic over ATM PVCs.
Through this feature, users can implement applications such as:
• LAN extensions for enterprise networks
• campus applications
• accessing any IP device that is on the same Ethernet segment of an Avidia system
Over each ATM PVC, you can configure a session that is bridged, routed, or bridged and routed
(brouted). The following paragraphs provide information about bridging and routing, then
describe how to set up bridging/routing sessions for an Avidia system.
