Operator Parameters/Permissions Description
start lecs Administrator Starts an LECS not previously started. If you have stopped an
LECS, you must restart it before adding ELANs to the LECS
or clients to the ELAN. You normally keep only one LECS in
your network, across all VLANs, ELANs, and switches.
Creating more than one LECS functionally splits the network
unless the databases are fully replicated.
stop lecs Administrator Shuts down the LECS on the local switch.
