Establishing FORE/IP PVCs on the filer

The process for establishing FORE/IP PVCs on a filer includes the following tasks:

When establishing an outgoing or incoming FORE/IP PVC, replace the following variables with their respective values in the command line.

Variable	Description
hostname	Name or IP address of the remote host.
iface	Name of the ATM interface. This is usually fan, where n is a number.
vpi	VPI (virtual path identifier); this must be 0.
vci	VCI (virtual channel identifier); this number must have the following properties: It must not be in use on your filer. It must be less than 1,024. It must obey the limits of the destination host and interconnecting devices.
aal	ATM adaptation layer type. It must be 4 or 5, and should be the AAL type supported by the destination host, which is typically 5. The default is 5. Note AAL4 is not supported on ForeRunner HE622 (OC-12) adapters.
encap	Encapsulation type. Specify one of the following encapsulation types: null (no encapsulation; this is the default) llc_routed (IEEE LLC encapsulation for routed PDUs) llc_bridged_8023 (IEEE LLC encapsulation for Ethernet/802.3 bridged PDUs) It should be the same as the encapsulation type used by the destination host. If the encapsulation type is llc_bridged_8023, you must include addr.
addr	Six-byte colon-separated destination MAC address.

To establish an outgoing FORE/IP PVC on the filer, complete the following step.

Step	Action
1	Enter the following command: *atm atmarp -s hostname* pvc iface vpi vci [aal [encap [addr]]]**

To establish an incoming FORE/IP PVC on the filer, complete the following step.

Step	Action
1	Enter the following command: *atm atmarp -l pvc iface* vpi vci [aal [encap]]**
