Chapter 14 Configuring LAN Emulation
LANE Configuration Tasks
In Steps 2 and 4, enter the ATM address of the server for the specified emulated LAN, as noted in your
worksheet and obtained in Displaying LANE Default Addresses, page 14-6.
To set up fault-tolerant operation, see Configuring Fault-Tolerant Operation, page 14-15.
For examples of these commands, see LANE Configuration Examples, page 14-17.
Setting Up the Database for Restricted-Membership Emulated LANs
When you set up the database for restricted-membership emulated LANs, you create database entries
that link the name of each emulated LAN to the ATM address of its server. However, you also must
specify where the LANE clients are located. That is, for each restricted-membership emulated LAN, you
provide a database entry that explicitly links the ATM address or MAC address of each client of that
emulated LAN with the name of that emulated LAN.
When clients for the same restricted-membership emulated LAN are located in multiple routers, each
client’s ATM address or MAC address must be linked explicitly with the name of the emulated LAN. As
a result, you must configure as many client entries (See Step 7 in the following procedure) as you have
clients for emulated LANs in all the routers. Each client will have a different ATM address in the
database entries.
To set up the configuration server for emulated LANs with restricted membership, perform the following
steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step 4
Switch(lane-config-database)# name elan-name2
server-atm-address atm-address [index n]
In the configuration database, binds the name of
the second emulated LAN to the ATM address of
the LES.
Repeat this step, providing a different emulated
LAN name and an ATM address, for each
additional emulated LAN in this switch cloud.
Step 5
Switch(lane-config-database)# name elan-name2
local-seg-id seg-num
(Token Ring only) In the configuration database,
specifies the ring number for the second emulated
LAN. (Catalyst 8510 MSR and
LightStream 1010)
Repeat this step for each additional Token Ring
emulated LAN.
Step 6
Switch(lane-config-database)# default name
elan-name1
Specifies a default emulated LAN for LANE
clients not explicitly bound to an emulated LAN.

Command Purpose
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch(config)# lane database database-name
Switch(lane-config-database)#
Creates a named database for the LECS.
Step 2
Switch(lane-config-database)# name elan-name1
server-atm-address atm-address [index n]
In the configuration database, binds the name of
the first emulated LAN to the ATM address of the
LES for that emulated LAN.
