DESCRIPTION
atmconfig is a tool to display and modify the current FORE/IP configuration. If no
action is indicated for the specified device, the configuration information for the
device is displayed. Configuration information includes the interface MTU, the
peak rate used by SVCs, and the VC parameters for the FORE/IP connectionless
and SPANS signaling VCs.
OPTIONS
-q Set/disable SVC rate shaping on the specified device. The peak rate is speci-
fied in kilobits per second.
-c Set FORE/IP connectionless VC parameters for the given device. The con-
nectionless VC will use VPI
vpi
, VCI
vci
, and AAL type
aal
. If
peak
is
specified, traffic sent on the VC will be shaped to
peak
kilobits per second.
-s Set SPANS signaling VC parameters for the given device. The signaling VC
will use VPI
vpi
, VCI
vci
, and AAL type
aal
. If
peak
is specified, traffic sent on
the VC will be shaped to
peak
kilobits per second.
NOTES
The allowed values for vpi, vci, aal, and peak will depend on the capabilities of the
ATM adapter used by the given interface. In addition, certain adapters may only
support discrete peak cell rates. If so, the rate will be set to the closest sup-
ported rate which is less than the specified rate.
The use of SVC rate control limits the peak bandwidth of all SVC traffic from the
specified interface. If the peak rate is modified or disabled, the connections must
be torn down (see na_atmarp [1]) and re-established for the new rate to take
effect.
CLUSTER CONSIDERATIONS
In takeover mode, the FORE/IP SPANS interface names are those on the live filer,
and in partner mode the interface names are those on the failed filer.
