9A426-01/9A426-02 Module Specific Information
LEC Administration Screen Fields
The following information briefly explains each LEC Administration Screen field.
Configure LEC (Toggle)
Specifies whether the LAN Emulation Client should auto-configure the next time
it is started. Use the Space Bar to select one of the following choices:
• Automatic (default) - A client uses a LAN Emulation Configuration Server
(LECS) to learn the ATM address of its LAN Emulation Server and to obtain
other parameters.
• Manually - Management tells the client the ATM address of its LAN Emulation
Server (LES) and the values of other parameters.
ELAN Name
The name of the ELAN to which this client is joined.
By default, the unit makes a LANE join request to the ATM network with the
ELAN name blank (no entry). By popular LANE convention, Join Requests of this
type will put that client into the first configured ELAN on the LECS (also known
as the “default ELAN”). Assume this ELAN is named “ELAN1”. Once the device
has successfully completed the Join process, all ATM-specific Local Management
screens will then reflect “ELAN: ELAN1”. This means that all Local Management
screen information pertains to the “ELAN1” ELAN.
To set the device back to join the “default” ELAN, you must delete the current
ELAN (ELAN1). After the current ELAN is deleted, a message is displayed that
states that there are no longer any active ELANs. Now, you can move to the
ELAN Name: field. Press the Space Bar, then the Return key. Highlight SAVE and
press the Return key. This will cause the device to join the “default ELAN” again.
Since we support just a single ELAN, you cannot create a new ELAN unless all
current ELANs have been deleted.
If you set Configure LEC to Automatic, do not write to any other attribute on the
LEC Administration screen.
NOTE
Future releases will support multiple ELANs. Check your release notes to
determine whether your release supports multiple ELANs.
