DESCRIPTION
The ilmid utility is a HARP ATM daemon that performs the ILMI ATM address registration procedures with an ATM network switch. It is normally invoked at boot time from the ATM startup script. For each ATM interface with a UNI signalling manager attached, ilmid will open an ILMI PVC (VPI = 0, VCI = 16) and register the interface’s ATM address with the switch. As part of the address registration procedure, the ATM switch will notify the endsystem (local host) of the ""network prefix"" portion of the endsystem’s ATM address and ilmid will notify the switch of the endsystem’s ""user part"" of its address (typically the interface card MAC address).
