The Switched
Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) is a wide-area networking service offered
by some Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) and by MCI. This chapter
describes the configuration tasks for the SMDS packet-switched software.
For a complete description of the commands mentioned in this chapter, see
Chapter 6, “SMDS Commands.” You can search
online at www.cisco.com to find
documentation of related commands.
You need the following hardware, equipment, and special software to
configure SMDS: CSC-MCI or CSC-SCI serial interface controller card, or an
HSSI interface on chassis-based systems, or the serial port on an IGS router. To operate on CSC-SCI or CSC-MCI cards, SMDS requires that the appropriate
microcode version be installed. Version numbers are 1.2 (or later) for CSC-SCI
and 1.7 (or later) for CSC-MCI. EIA/TIA-449 or V.35 applique on chassis-based systems, or
EIA/TIA-449 transition cable on an IGS router. SMDS data service unit (SDSU) device. Packet-switched software option with the system software.
Figure 5-1 illustrates the connections
between the different components.
