Configuring LECs and Resilient Server Links
6 Enter the ELAN name.
In most cases, the ELAN name should match a preconfigured
name on the ATM switch, such as the 3Com CELLplex
switch. Other manufacturers may have different requirements.
Refer to your ATM switch documentation for details
concerning ELAN naming.
7 Enter the link type.
Select Ethernet or Token Ring according to your need.
8 Enter the card numbers of the designated active NICs if the
current card is to be a standby NIC.
An entry in the Home Parameter field makes the current NIC
(the NIC associated with the current card number) a standby
NIC. Enter the card numbers (separated by commas) of the
active NICs to be assigned to this standby NIC. When the
Home Card parameter is set, any previously configured LECs
with the same card number as the standby NIC are ignored.
The Link LED of a standby NIC does not light until it assumes
the configuration profile of a failed active NIC.
9 Enter the maximum frame size.
Enter 1514 when communicating with Ethernet LAN
segments.
Enter 4542 when communicating with 4 Mbps token ring
LAN segments.
Enter 9232 when communicating with 16 Mbps token ring
LAN segments.
An end station can only communicate with end stations that
are using the same maximum frame size, also known as the
maximum transfer unit (MTU). Make sure that the ATM switch
supports the specified maximum frame size.
