NAME

atmconfig - FORE/IP configuration tool

SYNOPS IS

atmconfig device

atmconfig -q peak | off device

atmconfig -c vpi vci aal [ peak ] device

atmconfig -s vpi vci aal [ peak ] device

DESCRIPTION

atmconfig is a tool to display and modify the current FORE/IP configuration. If no

action is indicated for the specified device, the configuration information for the

device is displayed. Configuration information includes the interface MTU, the

peak rate used by SVCs, and the VC parameters for the FORE/IP connectionless

and SPANS signaling VCs.

OPTIONS

-qSet/disable SVC rate shaping on the specified device. The peak rate is speci-

fied in kilobits per second.

-cSet FORE/IP connectionless VC parameters for the given device. The con-

nectionless VC will use VPI vpi, VCI vci, and AAL type aal. If peak is

specified, traffic sent on the VC will be shaped to peak kilobits per second.

-sSet SPANS signaling VC parameters for the given device. The signaling VC

will use VPI vpi, VCI vci, and AAL type aal. If peak is specified, traffic sent on

the VC will be shaped to peak kilobits per second.

NOTES

The allowed values for vpi, vci, aal, and peak will depend on the capabilities of the

ATM adapter used by the given interface. In addition, certain adapters may only

support discrete peak cell rates. If so, the rate will be set to the closest sup-

ported rate which is less than the specified rate.

The use of SVC rate control limits the peak bandwidth of all SVC traffic from the

specified interface. If the peak rate is modified or disabled, the connections must

be torn down (see na_atmarp [1]) and re-established for the new rate to take

effect.

CLUSTER CONSIDERATIONS

In takeover mode, the FORE/IP SPANS interface names are those on the live filer,

and in partner mode the interface names are those on the failed filer.
