2424)+4
ELAN
is the Emulated LAN that you want the adapter to join.
interface
is the logical network interface.
unit_number
is the unit designator for the ATM adapter in the filer.
Example: The following command adds the adapter Unit 2 to the nineKMTU ELAN of
type Ethernet, using interface
el1
:
',?)/*+-
Interpreting the output: This specific example assumes that the nineKMTU ELAN
already exists on the switch. Also, if there is only a single ATM adapter in the filer, you
do not need to specify the unit number in the command. The elconfig command sets
it automatically.
The
el1
interface refers to a logical interface, thereby enabling you to configure more
than one logical interface for the same physical ATM adapter. This means that you can
use the elconfig
add
command repeatedly to configure the filer to communicate
over multiple ELANs using a single physical ATM adapter. Only Ethernet emulated
networks are supported.
To add an ELAN to an adapter using FilerView, enter the elconfig command using Fil-
erView’s command-line interface.
$"!
After the ATM adapter joins an ELAN, you need to assign an IP address to the logical
network interface and configure additional parameters.
To configure a network interface, use the ifconfig command.
Command syntax: The ifconfig command has the following syntax:

interface
is the name of the logical network interface.
address
is the IP address associated with the interface.
