This soft copy for use by IBM employees only.
The commands we will need are:
•
SET DEVICE IP_ADDRESS
•
SET DEVICE DEFAULT_GATEWAY
•
SET DEVICE ARP_SERVER
•
SAVE ALL
•
SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS
•
SET PORT
The reason why SAVE ALL precedes SET DEVICE ATM_ADDRESS is that the
latter forces a reset of the ATM subsystem. You will be warned first, but if you
forget to save the parameters you have just entered, they will be lost; only the
ATM address will change.
Below is an annotated transcript of the commands used to configure and test our
simple network.
