RedHat 4.0 sample configuration files
=====================================
Known restrictions
------------------
- no support for manually configured ATMARP entries (SVC or PVC)
- no LANE (neither client nor server)
- no ANS
Overview
--------
/etc/sysconfig/atm
Indicates if ATM is desired, which ATM components are used, and may
contain configuration options for system-wide resources (e.g. ilmid)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/atm (atm.init)
Is executed at system startup to initialize the ATM subsystem (e.g.
to start all the demons), and at system shutdown to remove the
demons it started.
/etc/atmsigd.conf
ATM signaling demon configuration, see man atmsigd.conf
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-atm*
Per-interface configuration parameters. This file contains highly
site-specific data.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-atm
General interface bringup procedure. Creates the IP over ATM interface,
configures it, adds the route, and creates all the necessary ATMARP
information.
In addition to the files listed above, files from atm/config/common need to
be installed. See atm/config/common/README for details.
Installation
------------
In order to use the configuraton scripts in this directory, you have to
install ATM on Linux as follows:
# cd wherever/atm # top-level directory of the ATM distribution tree
# INSTPREFIX=/usr/local make -e uninstall # remove the old files
# INSTPREFIX=/usr make -e install # install everything under /usr
Then copy the configuration files:
# cd config
# make redhat-4.0
Finally, you may have to edit /etc/sysconfig/atm, /etc/atmsigd.conf,
and /etc/hosts.atm
If you're using IP over ATM, you _must_ change
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-atm0 as follows:
DEVICE name of the interface (e.g. atm0, atm1, ...)
IPADDR IP address of the host on that ATM LIS
NETMASK network mask of that ATM LIS
BROADCAST broadcast address (not really used at the moment, but
must be configured to a sane value)
ARPSRV ATM address of the ATMARP server serving that LIS. May
be a symbolic name if /etc/hosts.atm is being used. Omit
this variable if the local machine is acting as the
ATMARP server of that LIS.
ARPSRVQOS optional; QOS of the ATMARP server VC
ARPDEFQOS optional; default QOS for IP over ATM VCs
ONBOOT must be set to "no" in order to bring up interfaces only
after the demons are running
