By default, all ATM adapters are dynamically assigned to load balancing groups. In this case, no configuration is necessary to activate the load balancing and failover features.
$"#
After you successfully configure each of the ATM adapters in the filer and verify their proper operation, you should do the following:
Save the commands in the /etc/rc file for automatic execution at boot time.
Save the host and IP address information in the /etc/hosts file for each logical ELAN interface.
This saves you from having to reconfigure the adapters manually each time the filer is restarted.
$"../!
Save the commands in the /etc/rc file for automatic execution at boot time. To do this, mount the root file system and edit the file using a text editor such as vi.
Example: The following is a sample portion of an /etc/rc file containing configuration commands for three ATM adapters:
E
',%'%.>.
',8"2%>#####+
E
',%'%.>.
',"2%>######+
E
',%'%.>.
',"2%>######+
',2%>######+
Note that in this example, both adapter 2 and adapter 3 are on the nineKMTU ELAN, and that adapter 3 is on two ELANs.
