Chapter 14 Configuring LAN Emulation

Entering the ATM Address of the Configuration Server

You must enter the configuration server ATM address into the ATM switch routers and save it
permanently, so that the value is not lost when the device is reset or powered off. The configuration
server address can be specified for all of the ATM switch routers, or per port.
To enter the configuration server addresses for all of the ATM switch routers, perform the following steps
in global configuration mode:
Command
Step 1 Switch(config)# atm lecs-address-default
lecsaddress
Step 2
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
Step 3 Switch# copy system:running-config
nvram:startup-config
For examples of these commands, see

Setting Up the Configuration Server Database

After you have determined all LESs, BUSs, and LECS on all ATM subinterfaces on all routers and switch
routers that will participate in LANE, and have displayed their ATM addresses, you can use the
information to populate the configuration server's database.
You can set up a default emulated LAN, whether or not you set up any other emulated LANs. You can
also set up some emulated LANs with restricted membership and others with unrestricted membership.
To set up the LANE database, complete the tasks in the following subsections as appropriate for your
emulated LAN plan and scenario. To set up fault-tolerant operation, see
Operation, page

Setting Up the Database for the Default Emulated LAN Only

When you configure a router as the LECS for one default emulated LAN, you provide the following
information:
•
•
•
•
When you set up a database of only a default unrestricted emulated LAN, you do not have to specify
where the LANE clients are located. That is, when you set up the configuration servers database for a
single default emulated LAN, you do not have to provide any database entries that link the ATM
addresses of any clients with the emulated LAN name.
