4.2.3 Configuration Files and Profiles

Following are the steps to configure an ATM card. They are listed here
complete, although you can bring up an ATM connection with a subset. For
detailed information, see

GRF Configuration Guide 1.4, GA22-7366.

Proceed as follows:

1. Identify each logical interface.

Edit grifconfig.conf, to identify each logical interface, by assigning:

• An IP address

• The GRF interface name

• A netmask, as required

• A destination or broadcast address, as required

• An MTU, if needed

See Section 4.2.4, “Assign IP Addresses - grifconfig.conf” on page 114
for the details.

2. Specify ATM card parameters in the Card profile (all optional):

• Specify ICMP throttling settings
• Specify a selective packet discard percentage in the spd-tx-thresh field
• Change run-time binaries
• Change dump variables

3. Configure PVCs and SVCs in /etc/gratm.conf.

Edit the file /etc/gratm.conf and add entries for the following keywords for
a minimum configuration:

• Traffic_Shape
• Interface
• PVC
