Note
To connect two switches for CIP service, you must configure the other
switch with a similar configuration. Also, both subnets and VCIs must
be identical on both switches. The CIP index, however, does not need
to be the same on both switches.
Configuring the LAN Emulation Client (LEC)
You can configure the FORMULA 8200 switch as a LAN emulation
client (LEC) within an emulated LAN (ELAN) environment. An LEC is a
type of virtual port that performs data forwarding, address
resolution, and other control functions over ATM when attached to a
bridge group on the switch. The LEC provides the MAC-level
emulated Ethernet IEEE 802.3 service interface to higher-level
software. The LEC uses the ATM Forum-specified signaling and LAN
emulation control protocols to establish switched virtual
connections (SVCs) with other LECs across ATM.
For detailed information on the LEC, refer to the ATM Forum
specification, LAN Emulation Over ATM (v1.0).
To configure LEC parameters for an ATM service, you will need to:
❑ Configure a LEC service
❑ Define a VLAN ID or number
❑ Set the port service for binding an ATM port
Note
Make sure that the ATM port is configured for SVC mode and that the
ILMI is enabled.
You can configure up to 16 LAN emulation clients (LECs).
To configure an ATM LEC service:
1. Verify that a valid IP address exists by using the VLAN/SHOW/
VLAN command.
The VLAN/SHOW/VLAN command displays the following
information:
