Configuring a Classical IP ATM Network
NOTE:
If the response is all zeros, this indicates that
the NSAP address has not been assigned.
Check the other
qaaN interfaces to see if any
have been configured. If not, then manually
assign an NSAP address as in step 1 above.
If you are using a windowed graphical user interface, keep the window with
the NSAP address open because you will need to cut and paste this address
into several locations. If not, carefully write down the address so you can add
it correctly to the other locations. If you are not registered with ILMI, you will
need to assign or manually configure an NSAP address to the interface.
With the preconditions met and the required information obtained, ARP serv-
ers may be created with the following steps. Two methods are shown. An
ARP server can be configured for a one-time use, which is deactivated if the
ARP server is rebooted. This method is shown first. An ARP server can also
be permanently configured to be active on boot. This method is shown sec-
ond.
2.3.2.1 Configuring a Host as an ARP Server for One-Time Use
1. On the host you wish to configure as an ARP server, log in as root .
2. On the host, change to the directory in which the ATM boot file is
stored. To determine the location of this directory, use your system
specific
find command and search for the location of the atmarp
utility. The ATM boot files are stored in this directory. (See the list
below for the names of the system specific boot files.)
