This soft copy for use by IBM employees only.

The commands we will need are:

SET DEVICE IP_ADDRESS

SET DEVICE DEFAULT_GATEWAY

SET DEVICE ARP_SERVER

SAVE ALL

SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS

SET PORT

The reason why SAVE ALL precedes SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS is that the
latter forces a reset of the ATM subsystem. You will be warned first, but if you
forget to save the parameters you have just entered, they will be lost; only the
ATM address will change.

Below is an annotated transcript of the commands used to configure and test our
simple network.
