atm.conf - default ATM configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The atm.conf file is the default ATM configuration file that is processed by running the atmconfig source command. The atm.conf file is a
text file that contains atmconfig commands used to configure and start the ATM network. Each line in the file contains exactly one command
or a comment, if the line begins with the number sign (#). Blank lines are ignored.
See atmconfig(8) for a description of valid commands.
The /etc/atm.conf file is defined as a Context-Dependent Symbolic Link (CDSL), and must be maintained as such. See the System Administra-

atmhosts - ATM host name file
DESCRIPTION
The atmhosts file is an ASCII file that contains an single-line entry for each host on the ATM network. Each entry consists of an ATM
host address, official host name, and any aliases.
Parameters are separated by spaces or tab characters. A number sign (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of
the line are not interpreted by routines that search the file.
ATM host addresses are specified by an even number of hexadecimal digits. Each pair of digits represents 8 bits of address information.
An ATM address can be one of the following: An ATM End System Address (AESA) as registered with the network (19 bytes, or 38 hexadecimal
digits) A local Endpoint System Identifier (ESI) that is registered with the local switch (6 bytes, or 12 hexadecimal digits) An AESA with
selector byte, representing the address of a service on a remote machine (20 bytes, or 40 hexadecimal digits).
Note
By default, the atmhosts file contains an entry for Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs). The entry consists of an ATM address of 40 hexadeci-
mal zeros (0) and the host name PVC. Do not change or delete this entry.
