On SW1 use the

add lecsneighbor

command to specify the ATM address of the LECS on SW2

SW1 # add lecsneighbor

NeighborATMAddress() : 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:bf:ba:26:00:00:1d:bf:ba:26:01

Similarly, on SW2 use the

add lecsneighbor

command to specify the ATM address of the LECS on SW1

SW2 # add lecsneighbor

NeighborATMAddress() : 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:a3:87:0b:00:00:1d:a3:87:0b:01

The LECSs on switch SW1 and SW2 are now configured for LNNI and are running redundantly. If, for example,
LANE services goes down on SW1, its clients can rejoin the ELAN by registering with LANE services on SW2.

Use the

show lecsneighborinfo

command on any LNNI active switch running an LECS to see a list of known

neighbor LECSs. For example, on SW1, entering

show lecsneighborinfo

shows information about SW2:

SW1 # show lecsneighborinfo

Configuring LNNI Distributed LES/BUS Servers

Under LNNI each switch running an LECS is capable of supporting eight (8) switches running an LES/BUS on the
same ELAN. LES/BUS neighbor information is distributed to the LES/BUS switches by the LECSs. However, server
cache information is distributed among the LES/BUS servers themselves using SCSP (Server Cache Synchronization
Protocol). To assure that SCSP information can be exchanged between all LES/BUS switches, the switches should be
