Hi,
I am trying to bring up a couple of FreeBSD boxes with ATM NICs connected
back-to-back and I'm having trouble getting the ATM link to come up. I 've been
following the discussions in the freebsd-atm list archive and used some of the
suggestions but still no luck. I gather that this problem has been brought up
but I didn't see any resolution. The postings about this problem has been about
a year old so I'm wishing there is a resolution by now.
I'm running FreeBSD 3.3 generic kernel with ATM options enabled.The PCs are
Compaq 1GHz Athlons. The NICs are new FORE PCA200EPC/SMF. Included in the
FreeBSD is HARP 3.0. The problem is that I cannot seem to get IP/PVC to work.
Here's the options I included in the kernel.
options ATM_CORE
options ATM_IP
options ATM_SIGPVC
options ATM_SPANS
options ATM_UNI
device hfa0
I tried different firmware versions from the CD that came with the FORE NICs
( I think it is version 5.2) and also from FORE os2_4.0.2_1.20.200.zip
(suggested by HARP docs) without success. I've also used version 3.0.1
downloaded from Mike Muuss' web page... same result.
I'm just trying to do IP/PVC for this test so the rc.conf file looks like this:
# -- rc.conf -- #
hostname="r2"
linux_enable="YES"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_enable="YES"
gateway_enable="YES"
network_interfaces="atm0 lo"
### ATM interface options: ###
atm_enable="YES" # Configure ATM interfaces (or NO).
atm_netif_hfa0="atm 1" # Network interfaces for physical interface.
atm_sigmgr_hfa0="sigpvc" # Signalling manager for physical interface.
#atm_prefix_hfa0="ILMI" # NSAP prefix (UNI interfaces only) (or ILMI).
atm_macaddr_hfa0="NO" # Override physical MAC address (or NO).
#atm_arpserver_atm0="0x47.0005.80.999999.9999.9999.9999.999999999999.00" # ATMARP server address (or local).
atm_scsparp_atm0="NO" # Run SCSP/ATMARP on network interface (or NO).
atm_pvcs="pvc1" # Set to PVC list (or leave empty).
atm_arps="" # Set to permanent ARP list (or leave empty).
atm_pvc_pvc1="hfa0 0 100 aal5 snap ip atm0 192.168.21.211"
ifconfig_atm0="inet 192.168.21.212 netmask 255.255.255.240"
Here are some diagnostics that might help: (notice that I can ping the local
atm ip addr but not the remote one. Also the MAC address reports as 00:00:00:00:00:00)
