NAME
       atmsetup	 -  Configures	Asynchronous  Transfer Mode (ATM) adapters and
       services

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/atmsetup [-old]

OPTIONS
       Invokes the atmsetup script. This option is for backward compatibility,
       and will be removed in a future release.

DESCRIPTION
       The  atmsetup  command  by default invokes the SysMan ATM Configuration
       application, which  is  the  recommended	 configuration	method.	  This
       application  enables  you  to  configure	 and  run  ATM on your system.
       Specifically, you can configure network adapters and logical interfaces
       on  the adapters for the following environments: Classical IP, LAN Emu‐
       lation, and IP Switching.

					Note

       Support for IP Switching will be retired in a future  release.  Do  not
       use it to develop new applications.

       During  the  adapter  configuration,  you specify the adapter name, the
       Endpoint System Identifiers (ESIs), pacing options, the type of network
       physical	 layer,	 and  whether to enable flow control, Integrated Local
       Management  Interface  (ILMI),  signaling,  and	virtual	 circuit  (VC)
       accounting.   In addition, you specify the User-Network Interface (UNI)
       version.

       During logical interface configuration, you specify information related
       to each ATM environment.	 For Classical IP, you choose whether the sys‐
       tem is an ATMARP client or server and whether  to  configure  permanent
       virtual	circuits (PVCs).  For LAN Emulation, you choose which emulated
       LAN to join and how to join the emulated LAN.  For  IP  Switching,  you
       specify	the Subnetwork Attachment Point (SNAP) VCI number and VCI lim‐
       its.  In all three cases, you change only  those	 default  values  that
       your configuration requires.  See Asynchronous Transfer Mode for infor‐
       mation on configuring ATM and the ATM configuration application	online
       help for more information.

       Before  invoking	 the  atmsetup	command, make sure that your system is
       connected to a switch, the network software is configured and  running,
       ATM is configured into the kernel, and the ATM subsets are installed.

       After  running atmsetup, you must configure the ATM interfaces with the
       correct IP address and netmask. Select Configure	 Interfaces  from  the
       SysMan menu. See sysman(8) for more information.

   atmsetup Script
       If  you	specify	 the -old option, the atmsetup script is invoked. This
       script prompts you for all information that you need to enter in	 order
       to configure ATM.  The script creates and maintains a directory hierar‐
       chy /etc/atm, which contains all the ATM configuration information.

       The atmsetup script configures the driver and signaling on an  ATM  end
       system.	In  addition,  you  can	 configure your system to operate in a
       Classical IP or Local Area Network (LAN)	 emulation  environment.   See
       Asynchronous  Transfer  Mode  for additional information on configuring
       ATM on your system.

RESTRICTIONS
       You must be superuser to use this command.

       The atmsetup script (-old option) has the following  restrictions:  You
       can  configure only lis interfaces to support SVCs and elan interfaces.
       It supports boot-time configuration only.

FILES
       Specifies the command pathname The path name containing ATM commands to
       execute when the system is booted The path name containing ATM commands
       to execute when the system is shut down ATM Configuration  Help	Volume
       (SysMan)
