Yes, you can configure multiple interfaces in a single configuration
file and you can configure multiple pvcs on a single ATM card.

By default, ICMP, IGMP and RSVP are assigned to the control class.
cbqd automatically creates a control class when there's no control
class defined by the time a default class is created, and then, cbqd
adds the 3 filters to the control class.
So, you can add another filter for RIP to "ctl_class" by adding a
filter command.  (the class name is "ctl_class".)
On the other hand, you can explicitly create "ctl_class" if you define
it above the default class in the config file.
