SunATM Interfaces

This chapter describes how to start the SunATM software on your system or use the atmifconfig utility to connect and disconnect individual SunATM interfaces without rebooting the system.

Note –You only need to start the SunATM software on your system if you have just installed the SunATM software and one or more SunATM adapters on your system. If the software is already operating on your system, or if you have rebooted your system you do not need to start the software manually.

This chapter contains the following sections:

■“Starting the SunATM Software for the First Time” on page 62

■“Plumbing and Unplumbing Individual ATM Interfaces” on page 62
