atmsetup(8) System Manager's Manual atmsetup(8)NAMEatmsetup - Configures Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) adapters and servicesSYNOPSIS/usr/sbin/atmsetup [-old]OPTIONSInvokes the atmsetup script. This option is for backward compatibility, and will be removed in a future release.DESCRIPTIONThe 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.RESTRICTIONSYou 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.FILESSpecifies 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)SEE ALSOCommands: atmarp(8), atmconfig(8), atmelan(8), atmsig(8), sysman(8), sysman_station(8) Network Administration Asynchronous Transfer Mode atmsetup(8)
