Conﬁguring a Classical IP over ATM Interface over an ATM Interface

Conﬁguring the ATM Adapter for Classical IP over ATM

Chapter 332

NOTE The IP address of the Classical IP interface must not belong to the same

subnet as any other network interface on any other network adapter in

the same HP 9000 system. It must be unique in your network.

Step 8. Ensure that the MTU Size is not smaller than 576 bytes (as deﬁned in

RFC 1063) or larger than 9180 bytes (the default setting). Note that

these limits are for Classical IP (CIP) interfaces only.

Step 9. Set Node Type to ATM ARP Server.

Step 10. Click on the OK button when you are ﬁnished, and verify correct

operation as described in “Verifying That the Classical IP Interface is

Operational” on page 34.

Conﬁguring an ATM ARP Client

This section describes how to conﬁgure an ATM ARP Client.

NOTE Before you conﬁgure Classical IP, you must ﬁrst conﬁgure the ATM

adapter, as described in “Conﬁguring the ATM Card Parameters” on

page 20.

Note that you must conﬁgure the ATM ARP Server before you conﬁgure

any ATM ARP Clients.

To conﬁgure the adapter as a Classical IP over ATM ARP Client, follow

these steps (see the SAM online help for descriptions of the parameters):

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.
