Chapter 4 Configuring the SunATM Interfaces 33
If you are planning to run NIS over your ATM network, you must specify the list of
NIS servers (ypservers) using the
ypinit -c command. See the ypinit(1M) man
page for details of setting up the ypserver. Be sure that the IP addresses of the
ypservers are listed in the
/etc/hosts file.
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) also uses the broadcast feature of IP, so it is
not supported under the Classical IP environment. In the Solaris operating
environment, RIP is implemented by the daemon
in.routed .
Classical IP alone also does not support the multicast packet delivery system. If you
are using Classical IP, you must explicitly add the routes to the routers in the ATM
subnet. You may also specify one router as the default router to provide connectivity
outside of the ATM subnet. See the
route(1M) man page for information on using
the route command to add specific router entries and to add a default router.
You can use the Classical IP parameter group menu to define the Classical IP
configuration of a SunATM interface.
Classical IP Interface Type
The SunATM software allows you to configure your interface as either a Classical IP
ARP server or a client. In addition, you can connect two systems back-to-back, in a
standalone configuration, using a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC). These three
modes are options on the Classical IP parameter menu.
