    Title: Simple (?) ATM question
    
   Hello All,
   
   I've got a virtual circuit coming in on an ATM connection. I want to
   apply an IP address to it and reach another IP host on the other
   side. I will need broadcast functionality on this connection. For
   the moment, I'm unaware of any NSAP or E.164 address that I may have,
   but it is entirely possible that I could get one from the switch.
   
   What's the right way to accomplish this? I have a lot of experience
   in ATM LANE and Frame Relay, but this one is not making sense to me.
   I don't have the equipment to do hands-on studying with ATM
   
   So far, I've figured that I have to apply an ATM map-class to the
   interface to associate the IP address with the VC. That mapping
   should include a broadcast parameter.
   
   What "atm PVC" or "atm SVC" command should I use to define the virtual
   circuit on the interface?.
   
   Should I use a subinterface? I'm stretching my Frame Relay knowledge
   over here by asking that question.
   
   Should I use the well-known VCs for ILMI and QSAAL? Are they
   necessary?
   
   Will I need to mess with any of the ATM addressing?
   
   In all... what do I need to do to get that IP host on the other side
   of that VC coming in?
   
   Thank you all for your help, I hope to return the favor to the other
   lemmings someday :)
