ABSTRACT:
A destination local area network (LAN) and a local LAN are coupled by an ATM-based wide area network (WAN). Each LAN includes a router. The WAN includes at least two ATM switches having switch ports. In order to identify and map a connection between the destination LAN and the local LAN, an end-to-end LAN-WAN-LAN connection components template is created. The template contains a number of fields which are populated during the course of identifying the connection. The connection is identified by using IP addresses, subnet masks and virtual circuit identifier values of ATM interfaces on the routers. Virtual circuit identifier values associated with pairs of IP addresses in the connection are identified, and associated with identifier values from the ATM interfaces on the routers. The associated configuration information and components of the WAN are retrieved and stored alongside entries in the list.
