Resetting an ATM Adapter
To reset an ATM adapter, use the command atminit, as follows:
atminit card_inst_num
where:
card_inst_num is the card instance number of the ATM adapter (also
called the logical unit number).
To display the card instance numbers (column I) of all ATM adapters in
your network, use this command:
ioscan -fCatm
The output looks like this:
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=================================================================
...
atm 0 10/8 atm2gsc CLAIMED INTERFACE
atm 1 10/12 atmgsc CLAIMED INTERFACE
If the ATM adapter has not been stopped before atminit is used, the
command stops the ATM adapter before resetting it. Local access to the
network is interrupted during execution of atminit and all SVCs are
lost.
The ATM adapter is reinitialized based on the contents of a configuration
file, and all PVCs are re-established if the Classical IP interface is
configured to start at initialization.
You must be a superuser to use the atminit command.
