    Hi 
    
       Here is a very brief example of setting up Lane + Clip on 
     Digital Unix 4.0 
     
     Lane Sample:
    
     #atmconfig up driver=lta0
     #atmsig up driver=lta0
     #atmelan create driver=lta0
     #netstat -ni (Look for the instance of the interface "elan" you've
      created, it must have a MAC address)
     #ifconfig elanx (x.x.x.x) netmask (x.x.x.x) up 
    
     Clip I need to know If you will be using PVC's or SVC's ?
     Then I can supply a sample config.
    
     Also note the config file can be called by issuing the command
    
     atmconfig source file=lane.conf 
    
     Lane.conf would contain the info above however should be used 
     in the format that is located in /etc atm.conf which is a template.
    
     NOTE: Also depending on the version of Digital Unix patches may be
     required please also find out the version of Digital Unix you will 
     be running at this site.
    
     Hope this helps

    Deep apologies for the lack of documentation but LANE was *NOT*
    supported out of the box on V4.0.  Support was turned via patches.
    So the good news is that we got LANE support out without waiting on
    releases schedules.  The bad news is that the doc is *very* sparse
    (limited to the man pages).
    
    We hope to rectify this in the upcoming release (code name PTMIN).

Hi,
I just do a ATM test on Alpha 4100 with UNIX4.0a and GS/ATM and VNswitch 
900EA and PC. There is a ATM350 adapter in Alpha, and the PC is on Ethernet.
firstly, the LANE must up in Alpha, but I can't get it, even the ATM link can 
not up!
And, can I get my test work?

All help will be appreciated.

	Hi (or good morning?) Jim,

	thanks for the fast reply to my question. This is it, what I needed
	to know!

	We don't wanna use PVCs, we only want to use SVCs, and we are run-
	ning DUNIX V4.0A or greater.

	Is it right, that I assume "ifconfig elan'x' ... " meens the
	interface I just created, so I have to be sure what interface
	number I have just created?

	Sometimes it seems very simple to configure something, if you know
	how.


	Many thanks Jim

	Wolfgang

	Yes, use the interface number you created using the atmelan create
	command .
	e.g. ifconfig elan0 16.204.192.89 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Hi,
I followed your step above, and then I do PING to the other side which is a 
PC attached on a VNswitch EA's ethernet port, my net as follows:
alpha4100--GS/ATM--VN EA--PC

I got this message:
ping 16.168.208.100
ping: wrote 16.168.208.100 64 chars, ret=-1
ping: sendto Host is unreachable
ping: wrote 16.168.208.100 64 chars, ret=-1
ping: sendto Host is unreachable

at GS/ATM, I can see there are two Emulation clients attached.

what's the matter?

Sensearly,
eric

Hi,

Now I can do ping on alpha after create a atmarp client, but only can ping 
itself(16.168.208.103), can not ping out/in. 
Why?

    Hi 
    
       It would probably be a good idea that you call the Tac @508-486-6789
      I also recommend having a Drawing or config read to fax to them with 
      all version numbers, Ip addresses and subnet masks etc..

    Re: .4
    
    netstat -in will show all configured interfaces.... the currently
    shipping atmelan create command starts with elan0 and goes to
    elan[nelan - 1]  (nelan is a sysconfig parameter which default 
    to 4, maximum value is 64 *but* can have at most 8 per ATM adapter
    card).
    
    FYI: The next version of Digital UNIX will support specifing the elan
    unit number.
    

    re: .7
    
    atmarp clients are for Classical IP over ATM (RFC 1577) not LANE.
    If you could include the atm.conf/ATM cmds you are using, we may
    be able to help you out.  Also list of patches applied would be
    very helpful. 

    Re: .6
    
    On the GS/ATM, commands like join_set_trace 1 (or 2 or 3, not sure now
    and 0 for disabling it) and elan ELAN_NAME -sc might be of help for
    you.
    
    Cheers,
