slot, bus number, and

 

 

MAC address (after

 

 

initial installation)

 

Global NIC Parameters (must be the same for all NICs in a computer system)

VPI/VCI Range

0 bits/12 bits

This parameter is determined by the

 

1 bits/11 bits

ATM switch setting.

 

2 bits/10 bits

 

 

8 bits/4 bits

 

Signaling

UNI v3.0

This parameter is determined by the

 

UNI v3.1

ATM switch setting.

Local NIC Parameters (specific to each NIC in a computer system)

LAN Type

Ethernet (802.3)

All ELANs configured on a NIC must be

 

Token Ring (802.5)

the same LAN type.

ILMI VPI

0

This parameter is determined by the

 

 

ATM switch setting.

ILMI VCI

16

This parameter is determined by the

 

 

ATM switch setting.

Maximum Frame Size

1514

All ELANs on the same NIC have the

 

4542

same MFS value, also called maximum

 

9232

transfer unit (MTU). Use 1514 for

 

 

Ethernet, 4542 for 4 Mbps token ring,

 

 

and 9232 for 16 Mbps token ring.

 

 

Only end stations using the same value

 

 

can interoperate.

Resilient Server Link

Any active NIC

Select one or more eligible active NICs

 

 

to make the current ATMLink NIC a

 

 

standby NIC.
