[c-nsp] ATM soft-vc path selection

[Clayton Zekelman]

I have a network of LS1010 switches, and recently added a second DS3 link between 2 nodes.

I'm using PNNI between the 2 switches, and am trying to get the soft vc's to utilize both DS3's.

SwitchA# show atm pnni neigh

   ATM0/0/3                  ATM0/0/0                  2way_in  (Flood Port)   

The 2 switches see eachother through both links, but for some reason SVC calls initiated from SwitchA only go out through ATM0/0/0 to SwitchB.

SwitchB connects further down the line to another switch (SwitchC), then terminates on a port facing a router.


I place the calls from SwitchA with:

interface ATM0/0/2
atm soft-vc 1 32 dest-address 47.0091.8100.0000.00d0.ba70.5401.4000.0c82.1000.00 2 32 rx-cttr 1 tx-cttr 1  
          
Any suggestions? 

Thanks!
