NAME

       atmsetup - 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.  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: Clas-
       sical IP, LAN Emulation, and IP Switching.  Compaq recommends you use the SysMan application.

									  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  emu-
       lated  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  inter-
       faces.  It supports boot-time configuration only.

FILES

       Specifies the command pathname The path name containing ATM commands to execute when the system is booted The path name containing ATM com-
       mands to execute when the system is shut down ATM Configuration Help Volume (SysMan)
