Enter the

start LECS

command to activate LANE server services on this switch.

SmartCell ZX # start lecs

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

SmartCell ZX #

Create an ELAN on your SmartCell 6A000 switch by executing the

add elan

command. The

following is an example.

SmartCell ZX # 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) :

SmartCell ZX #

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

SmartCell ZX # 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) :

SmartCell ZX #

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 SmartCell
6A000 Ethernet port.
