LEC Administration Screen

• Join - During the Join phase, the LEC establishes a Control Direct VCC with the LES. After
this connection is made, the LEC is assigned a LEC ID, the name of the ELAN it will join, and is
notified of the maximum frame size allowed on the ELAN and the LAN type that is being
emulated (IEEE 802.3). The initialization process then proceeds to the Initial Registration phase.
• Initial Reg. - The Initial Registration phase is used by the LEC to confirm that its MAC
Address(es) is unique before becoming fully operational on the network. During this phase, the
LEC may also register any additional unicast LAN destinations and Route Descriptors.
• BUS Connect - While in the BUS Connect phase, the LEC connects to the Broadcast and
Unknown server (BUS). At the end of this phase, the LEC has a BUS Multicast Send VCC and a
BUS Multicast Forward VCC with the BUS. Once these VCCs have been created, the LEC
becomes operational on the network.
• Operational - The LEC is now fully configured, and is switching traffic.
