906.0. "ATMworks 351 in DU V4.0A" by TKTVFS::NAGANO_T () Tue Apr 15 1997 22:49

	Hi,

	Does ATMworks 351 work well in DIGITAL UNIX V4.0A?

	Configuration is as the following.

	 ASt 500 5/333 + DIGITAL UNIX V4.0A

	Regards

906.1No luck here.SMURF::GREBUSDTN 381-1426 - Digital UnixWed Apr 16 1997 13:596
    I was unable to make the ATMworks 351 work reliably on an AS 500 5/333. 
    The version of the driver I was using did not list the AS 500 as a 
    supported system.

906.2More question.TKTVFS::NAGANO_TThu Apr 17 1997 02:4813
	
	Hi gary,Thank you for your quick response.

	It is confirmation for a careful.

	Is the configuration of ASt500 and DIGITAL UNIX V4.0A 
	formal support?

	It is decause our customer uses the configuration.

	Regards.

906.3V4.0A and AS 500 is okSMURF::GREBUSDTN 381-1426 - Digital UnixThu Apr 17 1997 14:087
    DIGITAL UNIX V4.0A on an AlphaStation 500 is supported.  The ATMworks
    350 works fine in that configuration.   It was only with the ATMWorks
    351 that I saw a problem.

906.4supported?DAIVC::IVANFri Apr 18 1997 02:484
    Is ATMworks 315 officially supported in DIGITAL UNIX V4.0A ???

906.5Check with the product managerSMURF::GREBUSDTN 381-1426 - Digital UnixMon Apr 21 1997 13:598
    Check with the product manager for ATM adapters.  Last I heard, that
    was Ranjeet Sudan.
    
    Note that support for the ATMworks 351 comes from the Network PBU, not
    from DIGITAL UNIX engineering.

906.6DUNIX ATM config questionsDAIVC::IVANTue May 13 1997 12:1614
    Hi!
    
    I have two questions regarding the configuration of ATMworks 350
    in D UNIX:
    
    - Where should I put  all those atm commands?
      (atm.conf? Is this a file a kind of batch/script file that
      is executed when the machine is up?)
    - Can I use different ESI than those that are stored in
      ATMworks ROM?
    
    thanks & regards
    ivan
                                          
906.7Startup questionsSMURF::GREBUSDTN 381-1426 - Digital UnixTue May 13 1997 15:5242
    The default place to put atm commands is /etc/atm.conf.  Replace the
    example commands with the ones needed for your environment.  You can
    execute the contents of atm.conf with the:
    	atmconfig source 
    command.  Refer to the atmconfig(8) reference page for more
    information.
    
    atm.conf is not executed automatically, because currently the ATM
    subsystem must wait for ATM layer and signalling connectivity before
    the protocols over ATM (Classical IP, LANE, etc) can be started. 
    Running this as part of normal booting will cause the boot process to 
    "hang" until the connection with the switch completes.  If that's not
    a problem, you can add a script to /sbin/rc3.d to run atmconfig.
    
    In V4.0D, ATM startup will be part of normal system startup.  There
    will be a new command "atmsetup" which will manage most of the boot
    time configuration of ATM.  The logical interfaces (lis's and elan's)
    will be created independently of the switch connection.  You will be 
    able to configure these interfaces like a normal network interface
    using netsetup, rather than having ifconfig commands in /etc/atm.conf.
    For V4.0D, configuration of PVC's and IP switching will still happen
    through atm.conf.
    
    In the Steel release, atmsetup will get a GUI interface and be
    integrated with the rest of the SysMan configuration tools.  It will
    also handle PVC's and IP switching.  atm.conf will still be supported
    for user-written convergence modules and a few non-standard things that 
    won't be supported in the GUI.
    
    You can manually register ESI's using the "atmconfig +esi" command, and
    you can suppress registration of one or more ROM ESI's via "atmconfig up
    numesis=xxxx".
    
    The Classical IP convergence module normally creates its own ESI. 
    You can supply your own ESI on an "atmarp -c" command, although I've
    never tried that option.
    
    I believe LAN Emulation picks the next available PPA (and therefore
    ESI).
