Establishing FORE/IP PVCs on your storage system

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 storage system.
• It must be less than 1,024.
• It must obey the limits of the destination host and interconnecting devices.

aal

ATM adaptation layer (AAL) 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 protocol data units [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.

Enter the following command:

atm atmarp -s hostname pvc iface vpi vci [aal [encap 
[addr]]]

Enter the following command:

atm atmarp -l pvc iface vpi vci [aal [encap]]
