Chapter 2: System Configuration
Configure ELAN (Toggle)
Used to specify if the LEC is created manually by user, or automatically by the
SmartSwitch 9500. This field toggles between Automatic and Manual. For instructions on
how to configure the LEC automatically and manually, refer to
Section 2.28.3.
ELAN Name (Modifiable)
Used to provide a user-defined ELAN for this LEC to join. This field is modifiable when the
LEC is configured in both automatic and manual mode.
If this field is left blank, the LEC will attempt to join the default ELAN, as defined by
NOTE
the wellknown LECS.
If the LEC is created manually, the name entered in the ELAN Name field is the
ONLY ELAN the LEC will join. The LEC will not take another ELAN name from the
LES.
MAX MTU Size (Read-Only)
Displays 1516. This is the only MAX MTU size allowed for the management LEC.
LAN Type (Read-Only)
Displays the type of ELAN that this LEC joins. This field is read-only and displays 802.3,
which is the only type of ELAN currently supported.
The LES ATM Address field does not display if the LEC is configured automatically.
NOTE
Instead, the field reads LECS ATM Address. If the LEC is configured automatically,
it is not possible to enter the LES ATM Address, as the SmartSwitch 9500 learns
the address dynamically from the LECS.
LES ATM Address (Modifiable)
Displays the address of the LAN Emulation Server with which the LEC registers. If the LEC
is configured manually, the LES ATM Address must be entered in this field manually.
The LECS ATM Address field does not display if the LEC is configured manually.
NOTE
Instead, the field reads LES ATM Address. If the LEC is configured manually, it is
not possible to enter the LECS ATM Address.
LECS ATM Address (Modifiable)
Displays the ATM address of the LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS). It is not
necessary to enter the LECS address. Some network configurations, however, may have more
than one LECS. To specify which LECS to which the LEC will connect, the address must be
entered in this field. If the LEC will be created automatically, it will default to the wellknown
LECS address.
