Short instructions to get MPOA up and running
=============================================

In order to run MPOA you need to have LANE client (zeppelin)
running too. Below is a snippet from our boot-up script which
starts LANE and MPOA.

case "$1" in
  start)
        cd $ATM
        if [ -x sigd/atmsigd ] ; then
                sigd/atmsigd -b 
        fi
        if [ -x ilmid/ilmid ] ; then
                ilmid/ilmid -b -x
        fi
        if [ -x led/zeppelin ] ; then
                led/zeppelin -f "Linux 2.1.126/ATM-0.51" -2 -c mpoa-lecs -n sampo -i2 -l jaarlimpc3 &
                sleep 2
                ifconfig lec2 10.10.10.208 \
                         netmask 255.255.255.192 \
                         broadcast 10.10.10.255
                ifconfig lec2 up
                route add default gw 10.10.10.193
        fi
        sleep 5
        if [ -x mpoad/mpcd ] ; then
               mpoad/mpcd -i2 -s jaarlimpc1 -l jaarlimpc2 &
        fi              
        ;;
esac

exit 0

Things worth noting are:
  o same interface number (2) for zeppelin and mpcd
  o different local ATM addresses (jaarlimpc[123])
  o -2 option for zeppelin to get it running as a LANEv2 client
  o default gw being reached via MPOA-enabled LANE interface.

Shortcuts, shortcut states and packet counters are available in
/proc/atm/mpc


How to create CBR SVCs
======================

You can create CBR SVCs with /proc/atm/mpc. Here is an example:

# echo add 130.230.54.142 tx=40000,0,1536 rx=40000,0,1536 > /proc/atm/mpc

After this when a shortcut is created to destination 130.230.54.142 it will
be signaled using the above values which are

   tx=max_pcr,max_cdv,max_sdu rx=max_pcr,max_cdv,max_sdu

Correct value for max_cdv is currently 0.
These values correspond to values in <linux/atm.h>
                              struct atm_trafprm


An entry can be deleted like this:

# echo del 130.230.54.142 > /proc/atm/mpc


Existing entries can be checked with

% cat /proc/atm/mpc


Other things
============
If you are running your LANE services on a Fore switch, you can try
the '-f' option for zeppelin. My favourite is -f "`fortune`" :)
