The Discovery ELAN Setup Screen

3.16.1 ATM Discovery ELAN Setup Screen Fields

The ATM Discovery ELAN Setup screen is used only when the host device is configured to operate as a SecureFast switch. Upon first initialization, the HSIM-A6DP attempts to contact any other HSIM-A6DPs present on the SecureFast network. Once all HSIM-A6DPs have discovered each other, they automatically create a default discovery ELAN.

NOTE

If the HSIM-A6DP is inserted into a SecureFast network where the default discovery ELAN has already been created, it will be instructed to join this ELAN, rather than create a new discovery ELAN.

All LECs that have been configured on the HSIM-A6DP use the discovery ELAN(s) for notification of new LECs joining the discovery ELAN. In this fashion, all LECs are aware of each other on the SecureFast ATM network. The SecureFast network may be further segmented by setting specific HSIM-A6DPs to belong to specific discovery ELANs designated by the user in the Discovery ELAN Setup screen. Up to 16 ELANs may be designated as discovery ELANs, and the HSIM-A6DP may belong to any number of these 16 ELANs.

The default ELAN is represented as Index 1 on the ATM Discovery ELAN Setup screen in Figure 3-15.

NOTE

The default ELAN does not have a name assigned to itself.

After this default ELAN is created, the user may set existing ELANs to be discovery ELANS (to a total of 16) and assign the HSIM-A6DP to these new discovery ELANs. The ATM Discovery ELAN Setup screen also allows the user to enable or disable each ELAN, as desired. The following definitions describe each of the ATM Discovery ELAN Setup screen fields:

Index (Read-only)

This field displays the number assigned to this ELAN by the HSIM-A6DP. A total of 16 discovery ELANs are able to assigned to the HSIM-A6DP.
