ELAN Assignment Policies
Description
This is a proprietary assignment policy. By this policy, if the client configuration
request specifies a preferred ELAN name, the LECS attempts to assign the client to the
corresponding ELAN number. If no name is specified, the following information is
used in sequence to assign the client to an ELAN number: layer 3 (IP) address, MAC
address (or, for a token ring client, route descriptor), ATM address. If the above three
fail, the LECS assigns the client to the default ELAN. At least one instance of this
policy is always in effect at the lowest priority level.
The LECS assigns the client based on information set up in the ATM address table. Use
LECSELANLEC to manage entries in this table.
The LECS assigns the client based on information set up in the MAC address table. Use
LECSELANLEC to manage entries in this table.
The LECS assigns the client based on information set up in the Route Descriptor table.

The LECS assigns the client based on the LAN type specified by the client
configuration request.

table. Use LECSPacketSizes to manage entries in this table.
