4.3.3.3 Configuring the MPOA client
Each MPOA client, assuming the physical interface ATM0 is set up properly,
must be configured at the global level, major interface, and subinterface level.
At the global level we specify a shortcut frame count of 1 so that we will be
able to observe traffic flowing in shortcut mode when the two PC workstations
ping each other. Otherwise, the modest ping traffic would not generate
enough traffic to exceed the default threshold of 10 frames in one second, at
which the MPOA client will initiate a shortcut resolution.The
lane client
command is issued to the subinterface and associates the previously defined
ELAN (and thus VLAN 11) with the MPOA client.
