CREATING AN EMULATED LAN

This section describes the steps for implementing an Ethernet or Token Ring Emulated LAN (ELAN) on your
SmartCell 6A000 switch. The following assumptions are made:
•
The switch will contain a client on the ELAN.
•
The switch uses the ATM Well Known LECS Address for the address of its LAN Emulation
Configuration Server (LECS).
•
All end nodes (computers, edge devices, and so on) support the Well Known LECS Address or can
obtain the address of the LECS using ILMI.
•
All end nodes support Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs).
An ELAN (including local client) comes preconfigured on SmartCell 6A000
Note
switches running server software. The ELAN name is "ELAN000" and the local
client number is zero (0). To use ELAN000, configure your end nodes and edge
devices to use this ELAN, and then plug them into the switch.
1. Map the Well Known LECS Address to the address of the SmartCell 6A000 LECS by executing the

WellKnownAddress(47:00:79:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:a0:3e:00:00:01:00):

The first ATM address in the example above is the Well Known LECS Address, the second (supplied as a default) is
the ATM address of this switch's LECS.
The Well Known LECS Address is an ATM Forum standard, supported by many
Note
ATM devices. The configuration software of these devices provides a simple way
(for instance, a dialog box button) for selecting the Well Known LECS Address as
the address of the LECS. If your end devices use the Well Known LECS Address,
it is unnecessary to enter the 20-byte LECS address by hand.
It is unnecessary to specify the LECS address if your end devices support
Note
discovery of the LECS through ILMI.
