Sample Classical IP Configurations

The following examples demonstrate entries in the /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/aarconfig file for several typical network configurations.

Although some of the examples show only one sample aarconfig file, similarly configured files must appear on each system. Example 2 shows the files for each of the three systems in the configuration.

1. SVC-only: Clients use the default address and access to the ARP server is restricted to clients on the local switch only.

   1. The /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/aarconfig file on a client:

      Interface Host ATM Address VCI Flag ba0 - $myaddress - l ba0 - $localswitch_server - s

   2. The /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/aarconfig file on the server:

      Interface Host ATM Address VCI  Flag ba0 - $localswitch_server -    L

2. PVC-only: hosta is connected to hostb and hostc over PVCs. There is no ARP server.

   1. /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/aarconfig on hosta:

      Interface Host      ATM Address VCI Flag ba0         -   -      - l ba0 hostb -     100     t ba0 hostc -     101     t

   2. on hostb:

      Interface     Host    ATM Address      VCI  Flag ba0 -         - -       l ba0  hosta         -        100       t ba0   hostc        -        102       t

   3. on hostc:

      Interface Host ATM Address VCI Flag ba0        -      -                -      l ba0        hosta  -              101      t ba0        hostb  -              102      t

3. SVC with no ARP server: hosta uses SVCs to connect to hostb and hostc. All hosts are connected to the same switch; there is no ARP server.

   Interface   Host   ATM Address VCI Flag ba0 - $myaddress                       - l ba0 hostb $prefix:08:00:20:d5:08:a8:00     - t ba0 hostc $prefix:08:00:20:21:20:c3:00     -     t

4. PVC/SVC mix: hosta uses an SVC to connect to hostb, and a PVC to connect to hostc. hostb is not on the local switch; there is no ARP server.

   Interface  Host  ATM Address                                           VCI  Flag ba0        -     $myaddress -     l ba0       hostb 45:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:0f:00:0:08:00:20:d5:08:a8:00   -     t ba0       hostc  -                                                       100   t

5. IPv6 PVC/SVC mix: hosta uses an SVC to connect to hostb, and a PVC to connect to hostc.

   Interface Host ATM Address VCI Flagba0 - $myaddress - lba0 hostb-v6 $prefix:08:00:20:d5:08:a8:00 - t6ba0 hostc-v6 - 100 t6

6. IPv4/IPv6 mix: hosta uses a static IPv4 SVC to connect to hostb and a static IPv6 SVC to connect to hostc.

   Interface Host ATM Address VCI Flagba0 - $myaddress - lba0 hostb $prefix:08:00:20:d5:08:a8:00 - tba0 hostc-v6 $prefix:08:00:20:21:20:c3:00 - t6

7. ARP server with Access Restrictions: Hosts are connected to an ATM ARP server that resolves addresses. Access is restricted to the local switch subnet and one additional switch subnet.

   1. /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/aarconfig on hosta:

      Interface     Host     ATM Address          VCI           Flag ba0           -        $myaddress             -              l ba0           -        $prefix:$sunmacsel0    -              s

   2. /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/aarconfig on server:

      Interface Host ATM Address      VCI    Flag ba0 - $prefix:$sunmacsel0       -       L ba0 - $prefix:$anymacsel       -       a ba0         - 45:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:0f:00:00:00:00:$anymacsel   -       a

8. Manual address configuration: Hosts are connected to a switch that does not support ILMI.

   1. /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/aarconfig on server:

      set prfx = 45:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:0f:00:00:00:00 Interface  Host  ATM Address        VCI        Flag ba0        -     $prfx:$sunmacsel0    -           L ba0        -     -                    -           m

   2. /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm/aarconfig on client:

      set prfx = 45:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:0f:00:00:00:00 Interface  Host  ATM Address        VCI         Flag ba0        -     $prfx:$macsel        -            l ba0        -     $prfx:$sunmacsel0    -            s ba0        -      -                   -            m
