IP Over ATM and LANE Creating an Emulated LAN
4. On switch SW1, use the command add lecselan to create the LECS:
SW1 # add lecselan
ELANNumber(0) : 1
ELANName(ELAN001) : mis1
LESAddress(39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:A3:87:0B:00:00:1D:A3:87:0B:03):39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:0
0:00:14:41:80:00:20:d4:14:41:81:02
< Specify the LES address on SW2
ELANType(802.3) :
MTU(1516) :
TLVSet() :
SW1 #
5. Use the add laneclient command on SW1 to add a client to the ELAN:
SW1 # add laneclient
ClientNumber(0) : 1
LanName(ELAN001) : mis1
ServerType(LECS) :
ServerAddress() :
IPAddress() : 90.1.1.22
< This IP address is for example only
NetMask(255.0.0.0) : 255.255.255.0
< This subnet mask is for example only
MTU(1516) :
SW1 #
6. Use the show client command on SW1 to see that the client has reached all the distributed LANE
services and has successfully joined ELAN
mis1.
SW1 # show client
ClientNumber(ALL) :
Client Type IP Address Server Type Server Conn Status
==============================================================================
1 LANE 90.1.1.22 LECS Established Operational
SW1 #
Notice in the example above that creating an ELAN with distributed services is a process of building from the bottom
up: First, the BUS is created so that its address can be specified to the LES. Next, the LES is created so that its address
can be specified to the LECS. Finally, the LECS is created.
If needed, all three ELAN services can exist on separate switches. For example, the BUS can exist on one switch (use
the
add buselan command), the LES can exist on another switch (use the add leselan command), and the LECS can
exist on another switch (use the
add lecselan command).
3.2.5 ELAN Join Policies
The SmartSwitch 6500 provides control over the assigning of clients to ELANs. Control is accomplished by ELAN
join policies. By default, the SmartSwitch 6500 has a single ELAN join policy defined —
Best Effort
. When a client
attempts to join LANE services, the SmartSwitch 6500 uses information provided by the client to performs the
Best
Effort
ELAN join test.
