ATM ESI

999999999901

6-byte MAC address.

 

 

 

ATM Selector

00

Has significance only to local

 

 

workstation. Should be set to

 

 

00.

 

 

 

ARP Server

08005A99029F

6-byte MAC address.

ESI

 

 

 

 

 

ARP Server

00

Must explicitly match the ARP

Selector

 

server s value.

 

 

 

The commands we will need are:

SET DEVICE IP_ADDRESS

SET DEVICE DEFAULT_GATEWAY

SET DEVICE ARP_SERVER

SAVE ALL

SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS

SET PORT

The reason why SAVE ALL precedes SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS is that the latter forces a reset of the ATM subsystem. You will be warned first, but if you forget to save the parameters you have just entered, they will be lost; only the ATM address will change.

Below is an annotated transcript of the commands used to configure and test our simple network.
