HELPLIB.HLB  —  LANCP  SET  DEVICE  Qualifiers (ATM Devices)

1    /ATMADDRESS

    /ATMADDRESS=LES sets the LAN emulation server (LES) address for
    asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). Usually the address is not user
    specified, and this qualifier is used only if you want a specific
    address. By default the address is determined by software from
    the configuration server for the LES.

    The /ATMADDRESS=LES qualifier's syntax is as follows:

    SET DEVICE/ATMADDRESS = ([NO]LES=the ATM server)

    /ATMADDRESS=ARP sets the address resolution protocol (ARP) server
    address for Classical IP over ATM. This qualifier is required
    before a LIS is enabled if the local host is not the ARP server.

    The /ATMADDRESS=ARP qualifier's syntax is as follows:

    SET DEVICE/ATMADDRESS = (ARP=atm_arp_server)

2    /CLIP

    Sets the Classical Internet Protocol (CLIP) over ATM (RFC1577).
    The CLIP qualifier implements a data-link level device as a
    client and/or a server in a logical IP subnet (LIS). This allows
    the IP protocol to transmit Ethernet frames over the ATM network.
    The /CLIP = ENABLE command causes the system to join the LIS. The
    /CLIP = DISABLE command causes the client to leave the logical IP
    subnet.

    Note that a LIS requires a server, and there must be only one
    server for each subnet. Communication between subnets can only be
    performed by a router. There can only be one client for each ATM
    adapter.

    The /CLIP qualifier's syntax with standard Internet dotted
    notation is as follows:

    SET DEVICE/CLIP =(ip_subnet=a.b.c.d,
                      ip_address=a.b.c.d,
                      parent=devnam,
                      name="ip subnet name",
                      enable, disable
                      type = client|server)

    The meanings for the syntax for /CLIP are as follows:

    Option                 Meaning

    ip_address             Specifies the IP address of the CLIP
                           client.
    ip_subnet              Specifies the subnet mask of the CLIP
                           client.
    parent=devnam          Specifies the parent device name.
    name                   Specifies a name for the LIS to aid in
                           operations and diagnostics.
    type=client            Starts up a classical IP client only. This
                           is the default.
    type=server            Starts up a classical IP server. Only one
                           server for each LIS is allowed, and the
                           server needs to be started first.
    type=(server,client)   Starts up a classical IP server and
                           client.

    Keywords and their meaning for /CLIP are as follows:

    Keyword  Meaning

    Enable   Joins the logical IP subnet.
    Disable  Causes a client to leave the logical IP subnet.

3    /ELAN

    The /ELAN qualifier has two values: enable and disable. With
    /ELAN=ENABLE along with the keyword STARTUP, the LAN emulation
    is loaded when LANACP starts. With /ELAN=DISABLE, the same
    parameters used with ENABLE can be invoked.

    The /ELAN qualifier's syntax is as follows:

    DEFINE DEVICE/ELAN =(parent=parent device,
                         name="ELAN NAME to join",
                         size=1516
                         type=CSMACD
                         Enable,
                         Disable,
                         description = "description string,")

    The meaning of the syntax for /ELAN is as follows:

    Option       Meaning

    parent       The ATM adapter device name. An example of the
                 parent device for DAPCA is: HWn0, where n is the
                 controller number. An example of the parent device
                 for DGLTA is: HCn0, where n is the controller
                 number.
    name         Optionally specified if you want to join a specific
                 ELAN. The default is null.
    size         Maximum frame size of the LAN you want to join.
                 Valid sizes are 1516, 4544, or 9234 bytes. The
                 default is 1516.
    type         Support currently only for CSMACD, which is the
                 default.
    description  A method of describing the ELAN for display purposes
                 only.

    Keywords and their meanings for /ELAN are as follows:

    Keyword  Meaning

    Enable   Begins a join on a specified emulated LAN. It also loads
             the driver, if not already loaded.
    Disable  Causes a client to leave the emulated LAN.

4    /PVC

       /PVC=(vci[,...])
       /[NO]PVC=(vci[,...])

    Sets the permanent virtual circuit (PVC) to be used by a
    Classical IP over ATM client. This is an optional qualifier.

    A list of PVCs is defined for use by CLIP clients. This command
    should be used before enabling the CLIP client. The PVC has to be
    set up manually in the ATM switch.

    The vci is the VCI (Virtual Circuit ID) of the PVC to be used.

    Examples

    Enables monitor contention, UTP cable media, source routing and
    disables early token release for Token Ring device ICA0.

  2. LANCP> SET DEVICE/MEDIA=TWI EWB0

    Sets the media type to twisted pair for the second Tulip Ethernet
    device, EWB0.

  3. LANCP> SET DEVICE EXA0/MOPDLL=ENABLE

    remaining MOPDLL parameters unchanged.

  4. LANCP> SET DEVICE EXA0/MOPDLL=(ENABLE,EXCLUSIVE,SIZE=1482)

    Enables MOP downline load service for device EXA0, in exclusive
    mode with the data transfer size of 1482 bytes, leaving the
    remaining MOPDLL parameters unchanged.

  5. LANCP> SET DEVICE EXA0/MOPDLL=(ENABLE,NOEXCLUSIVE)
  LANCP> SET DEVICE FXA0/MOPDLL=(ENABLE,EXCL,KNOWN)

    These commands enable LANACP MOP downline load service for:
