    Table 7-8 Information for ATM Classical IP Interface

    ARP Configuration 

    The server or client ARP configuration. Choose either Server, Client, or Standalone. Standalone enables a back-to-back configuration. 

    ARP Server Prefix 

    The 13-byte prefix of the ARP server switch. If the ARP server is on the same switch as the Netra server, no entry is required. If there is no entry in this field, the local switch prefix is used. 

    This field is required only when the ARP Configuration field is set to Client. 

    ARP Server Address 

    The 7-byte local portion of the ATM address of the ARP server. If no server is specified, the default local server is used. (There are also 256 addresses reserved by Sun: SUNMACSEL0-255.)  

    This field must remain blank if the ARP Configuration field is set to Standalone. 

    Remote Host Address 

    The remote host address for the machine to which the Netra server is connected. The remote host address and the host address must be on the same subnet. 

    This field is required only when the ARP Configuration field is set to Standalone. 

    Host Address 

    The host address for the network interface. This address should be unique on the system. 

    Netmask 

    The netmask address that determines the network with which the host address is associated. 

    Example: 255.255.255.0 

    If no remote host configurations are defined in the ATM module, the following message may be displayed on the console when the Netra server is restarted.


    cannot find atmconfig file in /etc; exiting S60sunatm 

    This message can be ignored.
