atmsetup(8)atmsetup(8)NAMEatmsetup - Configures Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) adapters and
services
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/atmsetup [-old]
OPTIONS
Invokes the atmsetup script. This option is for backward compatibility,
and will be removed in a future release.
DESCRIPTION
The atmsetup command by default invokes the SysMan ATM Configuration
application, which is the recommended configuration method. This
application enables you to configure and run ATM on your system.
Specifically, you can configure network adapters and logical interfaces
on the adapters for the following environments: Classical IP, LAN Emu‐
lation, and IP Switching.
Note
Support for IP Switching will be retired in a future release. Do not
use it to develop new applications.
During the adapter configuration, you specify the adapter name, the
Endpoint System Identifiers (ESIs), pacing options, the type of network
physical layer, and whether to enable flow control, Integrated Local
Management Interface (ILMI), signaling, and virtual circuit (VC)
accounting. In addition, you specify the User-Network Interface (UNI)
version.
During logical interface configuration, you specify information related
to each ATM environment. For Classical IP, you choose whether the sys‐
tem is an ATMARP client or server and whether to configure permanent
virtual circuits (PVCs). For LAN Emulation, you choose which emulated
LAN to join and how to join the emulated LAN. For IP Switching, you
specify the Subnetwork Attachment Point (SNAP) VCI number and VCI lim‐
its. In all three cases, you change only those default values that
your configuration requires. See Asynchronous Transfer Mode for infor‐
mation on configuring ATM and the ATM configuration application online
help for more information.
Before invoking the atmsetup command, make sure that your system is
connected to a switch, the network software is configured and running,
ATM is configured into the kernel, and the ATM subsets are installed.
After running atmsetup, you must configure the ATM interfaces with the
correct IP address and netmask. Select Configure Interfaces from the
SysMan menu. See sysman(8) for more information.
atmsetup Script
If you specify the -old option, the atmsetup script is invoked. This
script prompts you for all information that you need to enter in order
to configure ATM. The script creates and maintains a directory hierar‐
chy /etc/atm, which contains all the ATM configuration information.
The atmsetup script configures the driver and signaling on an ATM end
system. In addition, you can configure your system to operate in a
Classical IP or Local Area Network (LAN) emulation environment. See
Asynchronous Transfer Mode for additional information on configuring
ATM on your system.
RESTRICTIONS
You must be superuser to use this command.
The atmsetup script (-old option) has the following restrictions: You
can configure only lis interfaces to support SVCs and elan interfaces.
It supports boot-time configuration only.
