Resetting/Restarting an ATM Network Interface

Resetting/Restarting an ATM Network
Interface
You can reset/restart a specific network interface, without having to
reset/restart the entire ATM adapter and disrupt traffic on other
network interfaces on the adapter.
To reset/restart a specific network interface, use the command
atminit_net, as follows:
atminit_net net_interface
where net_interface is the ATM network interface name. For example,
net_interface could be one of the following:
• For HP-UX 10.20:
— ipa0 for the adapter’s Classical IP interface.
— ela1 for an ELAN interface.
• For HP-UX 11.X:
— cip100 for the adapter’s Classical IP interface.
— el100 for an ELAN interface.
The command atminit_net initializes a network interface on the ATM
adapter based on the contents of a configuration file. If the adapter itself
is not started, atminit_net starts it automatically. It never stops the
adapter. If the network interface is not stopped, atminit_net stops it
automatically. A configuration file must exist.
atminit_net also re-establishes all the predefined PVCs and the
predefined SVC traffic descriptors for the network interface.
You must be superuser to use the atminit_net command.
