3-4 SmartSwitch 6500 User Guide
Creating an Emulated LAN IP Over ATM and LANE
Note An ELAN comes pre-configured on SmartSwitch 6500 switches. The ELAN
name is “ELAN000.” To use this ELAN, start the LECS, configure your end nodes
and edge devices to use ELAN name ELAN000, and then plug them into the
SmartSwitch 6500.
1. Enter the start lecs command to activate LANE server services on this SmartSwitch 6500.
SmartCell ZX # start lecs
NOTICE - 'LECS' ***** LECS started *****
SmartCell ZX #
2. Create an ELAN on your SmartSwitch 6500 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
< ELAN is named Marketing instead of the default, (ELAN001)
ConnectMethod(SVC):
ELANType(802.3)
<The default (Ethernet) is used
Multipoint(YES) :
MTU(1516) :
ErrorLogEnable(NO) :
< Take the default
MinimumTDEnable(NO) :
< Take the default
Distribute(PROXY) :
SmartCell ZX #
3. Use the add laneclient command to create a client for the switch on the ELAN:
SmartCell ZX # add laneclient
ClientNumber(0) :1
< One is used instead of the default, (0)
LanName(ELAN001) : Marketing
< ELAN name is Marketing, not the default, (ELAN001)
ServerType(LECS) :
ServerAddress()
< No LANE server address is specified; see note below
IPAddress() : 90.1.1.1
< IP address and subnet mask are specified only as examples
NetMask(255.0.0.0): 255.255.255.0
MTU(1516) :
SmartCell ZX #
Note When you create a client, it automatically finds the LECS address using ILMI.
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.
As the local client joins the ELAN, the following messages are sent to the Event Log (see Chapter 9,
"Troubleshooting." Section 9.5):
NOTICE - 'ZLESSRV' LES Join 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:41:80:00:20:D4:
