ATM Management Interface v4.0

AMI uses SNMP to manage FORE Systems' ATM switches. AMI is platform

independent and runs on hosts and FORE ATM switches. When AMI is

executed on a host, you must first use the OPEN command to

specify the switch to manage. If AMI is started on the switch,

it immediately opens a connection to the local switch.
