923.0. "Classical IP without an ATMARP server ?" by TAGEIN::AURAND () Mon Apr 28 1997 10:26

Hi,

I'm absolutely new in the ATM world and it would be nice, if someone can
answer the following customer question:

He wants to setup two PVC from a Digital UNIX V3.2F system (with an ATMworks 
350 card) to two file server and just running IP over these PVCs.
  
 - Can he setup Classical IP without defining a ATMARP server; If so, what are
   the required commands in /etc/atm.conf ?

	up driver = lta0
	wait state=up driver=lta0
	run /usr/sbin/atmsig up driver=lta0 wait
	+pvc driver=lta0 convergence=atmip vpi=0 vci=50
				      |
				      |-> or does he have to specify another
					  value ?
        run ifconfig lta0 ipaddr netmask ..
		      |
		      | -> is it valid to use the lta device and not the 
			   lis0 (because there is no ATM server defined

 - If not, how can he setup an IP connection over an ATM PVC just using
   RFC1483 for encapsulation of the IP routing pakets.

	Many thanks for your help

923.1Configuring PVCsSMURF::GREBUSDTN 381-1426 - Digital UnixMon Apr 28 1997 14:5312
    I've never configured PVC's on V3.2F, but I believe it works the same
    as under V4.x.
    
    Start with:
    	up driver=lta0
    	wait state=up driver=lta0 
    
    Then follow with the instructions in Note 910.1.  Note there is no
    atmsig command in V3.2F.

    Hi Gary,
    
    many thanks for your quick answer. I gave the example to the customer
    and he will try the configuration.
    
    Maybe you can tell me a little bit more about ATM on Digital UNIX.
    
     - Is there a list of valid convergence moduls available or is ATMIP
       the only one yet available ?
    
     - What has to be done to just use RFC1483 for encapsulation of the IP
       routing pakets ?
    
    		Again, many thanks for your help
