Using the atmadmin Configuration
Program
The SunATM configuration program, atmadmin , is an interactive command-line
interface. The program contains a hierarchy of menus, which divide the
configuration into six main parameter groups: system, physical layer, signalling,
ILMI, Classical IP, and LAN Emulation. All but the system parameter group are
specific to individual SunATM interfaces, so you must configure the parameters in
these groups separately for each interface.
If you prefer, you can enter and change the SunATM configuration information by
editing the SunATM configuration files directly. See Chapter 5 for a description of
the configuration files contents and formats.
Note – See Chapter 5 and Chapter 7 for more information about ATM protocols and
the SunATM implementation of these protocols.
Caution – Modifications to individual interfaces will take effect when the interface
is plumbed. This will happen at boot time or when you use the atmifconfig utility
to plumb interfaces. If you plan to modify an existing (already running) interface,
you must first unplumb it with the
atmifconfig utility. Refer to the
atmifconfig(1m) man page or Chapter 6 for more information.
Starting the atmadmin Configuration Program
The atmadmin program is installed with the SUNWatm software package in the
/etc/opt/SUNWconn/bin directory. The program must be run as superuser (root).
It can be run in any local or remote shell on the SunATM system.
# /etc/opt/SUNWconn/bin/atmadmin
