atmsetup(8)


NAME

  atmsetup - Configures Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) adapters and
  services


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/sbin/atmsetup [-old]


OPTIONS

  -old
      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 Emulation,
  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 system 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 limits.	 In all three
  cases, you change only those default values that your configuration
  requires.  See Asynchronous Transfer Mode for information 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 hierarchy
  /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.


FILES

  /usr/sbin/atmsetup
      Specifies the command pathname

  /etc/atm/up
      The path name containing ATM commands to execute when the system is
      booted

  /etc/atm/down
      The path name containing ATM commands to execute when the system is
      shut down

  /usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/atm.sdl
