Conﬁguring PVCs

Chapter 5 81

Using SAM

To add a PVC in SAM, follow these steps:

Step 1. Log in as root.

Step 2. Type sam to start SAM.

Step 3. Select “Networking and Communications”.

Step 4. Select “Network Interface Cards”.

Step 5. Highlight the ATM adapter that you want to conﬁgure, and then choose

Configure from the “Actions” menu.

This opens the “Conﬁgure ATM Card” window, which lists all conﬁgured

interfaces for the ATM adapter.

Step 6. Highlight the IP interface (ip

or cip

xxx

) that you want to conﬁgure

and select Configure PVCs... from the “Actions” menu.

Step 7. Select the Add... button.

Step 8. Enter the VPI and VCI values to be used by the PVC.

Step 9. If necessary, enter the Destination IP Address. If you do not enter an

address in this ﬁeld, the Inverse Address Resolution Protocol (INARP)

automatically retrieves it (if the PVC is conﬁgured on the remote

system).

Step 10. Conﬁgure the trafﬁc parameters to be used by the PVC (use the SAM

online help if you need more information about any of the parameters).

Step 11. Select the OK button when you are ﬁnished.

The PVC is added to the list of conﬁgured PVCs.

Step 12. Exit SAM and verify that the PVC works, as described in “Verifying a

PVC’s Conﬁguration” on page 83.
