Enter the

command to activate LANE server services on this switch.

SmartSwitch # start lecs

NOTICE - 'LECS' ***** LECS started *****

Create an ELAN on your SmartSwitch 9A100 switch by executing the

add elan

command. The

following is an example.

SmartSwitch # add elan

ELANNumber(0) : 1

<1 is used instead of the default, (0)

ELANName(ELAN001): Marketing

ConnectMethod(SVC):

ELANType(802.3)

Multipoint(YES) :

MTU(1516) :

Distribute(PROXY) :

SmartSwitch #

Create a client for the switch on the ELAN. For example, enter

SmartSwitch # add laneclient

ClientNumber(0) :1

LanName(ELAN001) : Marketing

< ELAN name is Marketing, not the default, (ELAN001)

ServerType(LECS) :

ServerAddress()

IPAddress() : 90.1.1.1

< IP address and subnet mask are included only as examples

NetMask(255.0.0.0): 255.255.255.0

MTU(1516) :

SmartSwitch #

Note

The command

add laneclient

always prompts you with a subnet mask that is

appropriate for the IP address. However, if necessary, you can change the subnet
mask to correspond to the strategy employed within your networks.

Note

When you create a client, it automatically finds the LECS address using ILMI.

As the local client joins the ELAN, the following messages are sent to the Event log:

NOTICE - 'ZLESSRV' LES Join 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:41:80:00:20:D4:

14:41:82:00

NOTICE - 'ZLESSRV' BUS Connect 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:41:80:00:20:D4:

14:41:82:00

Caution

Never create an ELAN (or ELAN client) with the same subnet as the
SmartSwitch 9A100 Ethernet port.
