TABLE 5-6 /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/laneconfig Flag Descriptions (Continued)

FlagDescription

aRepresents an address that may have access to this host. If no a entries appear in the laneconfig file, access to the host is unrestricted. Including a entries allows access to be restricted to known hosts. As an alternative to listing individual addresses, the ATM address field may contain a prefix, followed by the wildcard $anymacsel, which matches any 7-byte ESI/Selector combination following the given prefix. This allows access by any host connected to the switch specified by the given prefix. Mac Address and VCI should not appear; ATM Address is required. See TABLE 5-7.

cThis flag allows an alternate LECS address to be specified. By default, the SunATM software uses the well-known address specified in the LAN Emulation standard. If, however, your LECS has a different address, or you want to connect to the LECS over a PVC, you may provide the alternate ATM address or VCI in a c entry. If you want to make a PVC connection, the VCI must be 17, as required by the LAN Emulation standard. The interface and ATM address or VCI must be included.

sThis flag specifies the LES address or VCI, and instructs the system to contact the LES directly, and to use default subnet configuration information. This flag should be used if your subnet does not have an LECS. Without this entry, the system first connects to the LECS, which provides the LES address and configuration information.

mNotifies the system that the entire ATM address, including the network prefix, must be configured manually on this interface. If your interface is connected to a switch that does not support ILMI address registration, you must include this option in your or /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/laneconfig file. Note that the variables $myaddress, $prefix, and $localswitch_server (which use the switch prefix obtained from the switch via ILMI) may not be used if ILMI address registration is disabled.
