Sun Microsystems 3U manual Using the atmadmin Configuration Program

Using the atmadmin Configuration Program

The SunATM configuration program, atmadmin, is an interactive command-line interface. The program contains a hierarchy of menus, which divide the configuration into six main parameter groups: system, physical layer, signalling, ILMI, Classical IP, and LAN Emulation. All but the system parameter group are specific to individual SunATM interfaces, so you must configure the parameters in these groups separately for each interface.

If you prefer, you can enter and change the SunATM configuration information by editing the SunATM configuration files directly. See Chapter 5 for a description of the configuration files contents and formats.

Note –See Chapter 5 and Chapter 7 for more information about ATM protocols and the SunATM implementation of these protocols.

Caution –Modifications to individual interfaces will take effect when the interface is plumbed. This will happen at boot time or when you use the atmifconfig utility to plumb interfaces. If you plan to modify an existing (already running) interface, you must first unplumb it with the atmifconfig utility. Refer to the atmifconfig(1m) man page or Chapter 6 for more information.

Starting the atmadmin Configuration Program

The atmadmin program is installed with the SUNWatm software package in the /etc/opt/SUNWconn/bin directory. The program must be run as superuser (root). It can be run in any local or remote shell on the SunATM system.
