Plumbing and Unplumbing
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:
