6 Dell PowerVault 7x0N Systems — Connecting to ATM and FDDI Networks
&'$(
To start the configuration, perform the following steps:
1. Type the following commands to make sure the ATM adapter is functioning:
adinfo
— To check that the ATM adapter is installed and functioning properly
adstat
— To check that the ATM adapter has a working physical connection to
the ATM network
2. Check that the UNI is operational. The UNI provides an interface between ATM
clients and the ATM switch.
To access an ELAN, the ATM adapter in your filer must be installed and functioning
properly. Use the
adinfo
command to verify this.
Command syntax
: The
adinfo
command has the following syntax:
Example
: The sample output from this command is as follows:
!!
!"#
"##
!$
Interpreting the output
: You should see lines for each of the ATM adapters in your
filer that is functioning properly. The presence of the line indicates that the adapter
has passed its self-test procedure and that the filer initialized the adapter. However, it
does not verify that the adapter is sending or receiving packets. The
adinfo
command
also displays the device name for each of the installed adapters, as well as the unit
number, at the beginning of each line.
The unit number uniquely identifies the ATM adapter in the filer, and there is a
one-to-one mapping between the device names and unit numbers. The device name
consists of the prefix ‘a’ followed by the physical slot number. The unit number is sim-
ply the slot number.
Some commands, such as
uniconfig
and
el config
, require the unit number as a
parameter. Other commands, including
adinfo
and
adstat
, require the device name.
