After selecting the Write option, select Reload Gateway to load the new configuration into active memory. The Reload Gateway option disconnects the MSS Server from the workstation. You will have to re-establish the connection to make further changes to the configuration.
The Guided Configuration of the Quick Configuration option is designed to provide a default configuration which can consist of one or two ATM device interfaces (ATM adapters), up to two emulated LANs for each interface, bridging and configuration of Classical IP and IPX over the physical interfaces and the emulated LANs.
On the Device panel of Quick Configuration, the currently configured devices are displayed. Emulated interfaces (emulated LANs) are displayed as well as the ATM adapters, which are the physical interfaces. Only the physical interfaces (the adapters) are added when you press Submit.
Release 1.0 of the MSS Server provides just one or two existing physical interfaces, depending on the server that you are using. If you are using the IBM Nways Multiprotocol Switched Services Server Module, which is the blade used on the IBM 8260 Nways Multiprotocol Switching Hub, you have one physical interface; if you are using the IBM 8210 Nways Multiprotocol Switched Services Server, which is the standalone version, you have two physical interfaces. The slot number for the one physical interface on the module is 1; the slot numbers for the two devices on the 8210 are 1 and 2.
To add an ATM device:
Note: After you have completed Quick Configuration, you will need to configure SNMP to use the Send and Receive options of the AIX version of the Multiprotocol Switched Services Configuration Program. To send and receive configurations using the OS/2 or Windows versions of the Multiprotocol Switched Services Configuration Program, you must use FTP or TFTP. See the help for the option *IPX in the option Quick Configuration, Guided Configuration for more information.

This panel defines the various attributes of the LAN emulation clients.
Note: If the defaults are acceptable, you need only select the Submit button.
To configure LAN emulation:
Valid values: Any alphanumeric character string from up to 32 characters
long.
Default value: type ELAN xx, where type is either "Token Ring" or "Ethernet" and xx represents a unique, automatically generated decimal integer.
Valid values: Any single octet value that has not been previously used and is
within the range defined for the device.
Default value: x'01', if not already in use by LAN Emulation component using the LECS Interface ESI.
Select the Submit button.

This Bridge Quick Configuration Panel enables you to configure bridging on the LAN emulation interfaces.
To configure bridging:
Dependencies: Use a unique number for each bridge on the same LAN segment.
Valid values: X'0' to X'F'
Default value: 01
Valid values: X'001' to X'FFF'
Default value: None
Select the Submit button.

This IP Quick Configuration Panel enables you to configure IP on the physical interfaces and on the emulated LAN interfaces. If IP is configured on the ATM physical interfaces, it is Classical IP over ATM. The MSS Server routes IP messages between networks that use Classical IP and those that use IP over LAN emulation.
To configure IP:
If running as a client with remote ARP server, use the following to define the server ATM address:
Valid values: Any valid ATM address
Default value: None
If running as a client/server with manually defined selector:
Valid values: X'00' to X'FF'
Default value: 00
Select the Submit button.
