/sys$common/syshlp/LANCP$HELP.HLB  —  SET  DEVICE  Qualifiers (ATM Devices), /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.
