ADD LIF Command
Considerations

An ATMSAP object can be configured to interface to a permanent virtual circuit
(PVC) object. A LIF object must be associated with the ATMSAP object in order to
provide host access to the ATMSAP object. A PVC connection provides a static
permanent virtual circuit. A PVC object is defined with a VCC attribute for the
ATMSAP object. The VCC is comprised of a VPI, VCI pair.

Use the ADD ATMSAP command to add an ATMSAP object. You can add a
maximum of 128 ATMSAP object per PIF object.

Use the ADD LIF command to configure a LIF object for each ATMSAP object.
Following is an example of the ADD LIF command that adds a LIF object and
associates it with an ATMSAP object.
ADD LIF $ZZLAN.LIF01, ATMSAP ATM0.0.A.ATMSAP01
The example above adds a LIF object named $ZZLAN.LIF01 and associates it to
an ATMSAP object named $ZZLAN.ATM0.0.A.ATMSAP01.

The ATMSAP object offers an ATM Native Mode network interconnect support
similar to that offered by the PVC object within an ATM subsystem.
Example
ADD ATMSAP $ZZLAN.ATM01.0.A.ATMSAP01, MTU 9180, NATURE PVC,
QOSSET UBR, VCC(0,101),
ADD LIF Command
The ADD LIF command configures a logical interface (LIF) into a system. The LIF
must be associated with a media interface. For E4SA, FESA, GESA, G4SA, TRSA,
and CCSA adapter types, a LIF object must be associated with the PIF object For the
ATM3SA adapter, a LIF object cannot be associated with the PIF object. Instead, it is
associated with an ATMSAP object. You can configure up to 128 LIF objects to be
associated with one ATM3SA ADAPTER. The LIF object is left in the STOPPED
summary state if the ADD command is successful.
