Hi, are you all still there? (I have read your note from Jul 1, 1997,
so almost two years are gone!).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SORRY IF AM CONTACTING YOU THE WRONG WAY. LET ME KNOW THAT IF IT IS
THE CASE.
------------------------------------------------------
I am also having problems with DEC PCI ATM350 nic.
You say it cannot work without tu0 being active. Must it be active
and connected?
Have I to use ifconfig in any case?
Well, I have deactivated tu0 and lta0 worked (almost): I could ping
to some workstations and routers, but not to others on the same IP
network. I couldn't even ping to another Alpha server on the same
ethernet switch.
Could you give help?
This is my environment:
one DECalpha server2100 running DECunix 4.0b connected to an
IBM ATM switch 8265 (including one 8271 Ethernet switch module)
through a DECpci ATM350 interface card.
I am using ELAN.
This the atm.conf file:
# If any command results in a error being returned atmconfig will stop
# executing and exit.
#
# The commands in this file are run by running
# atmconfig source
#
#
print Starting ATM Network
up driver=lta0
wait state=up driver=lta0
# wait till address registration is complete
run /usr/sbin/atmsig up driver=lta0 ilmi state=off wait
# set the singalling version
run /usr/sbin/atmsig version driver=lta0 uni=3.0
#create the elan
run /usr/sbin/atmelan create driver=lta0 type=ethernet mtu=1516
name=elan1
# allow dynamic ESI time to register with switch
sleep 3
# For setting flow control (not working by this time - bras)
#+vfc driver=lta0
+sonet driver=lta0
#run ifconfig elan0 172.20.1.3 netmask 255.255.248.0 up
print ATM network started
#
After executing "atmconfig source" I run ifconfig.
==========================================================
I have resequenced the statements in this file to look like
the one I saw on your note. I also changed ilmi state to ON.
I am waiting the proper time to test.
Thanks a lot.
