3-8CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURING THE ATM BACKBONE SWITCHMODULE

	■ LECs 2 through 8 are set to the following parameter values:
	■ Configuration mode is Manual.
	■ Interface mode is Disabled.
	■ ELAN Name is None.
	■ Vbridge assignment is Unassigned.
Configuring LAN	The procedure you use to configure the LAN Emulation parameters for
Emulation	a LAN Emulation Client depends on whether the LEC is configured for
Parameters	automatic or manual configuration.
Automatic	By default, the configuration mode of LEC 1 of the ATM Backbone
Bridgeport-LEC	SwitchModule is set to Automatic. Upon initial power-on, a LEC that is
Configuration	set to Automatic configuration mode attempts to establish connection
Mode	with the LECS according to established autoconfiguration guidelines.
	Refer to Chapter 2, LAN Emulation Overview, for more information.
	After the automatic bridgeport-LEC configuration is complete, you must
	assign the LEC to a vbridge. Only one bridgeport LEC from the same
	ATM Backbone SwitchModule may be assigned to each virtual bridge.
	In this example, LEC 1 of a ATM Backbone SwitchModule in slot 4 is
	assigned to vbridge 2:
	CB5000> set bridge_port 4.1 vbridge 2
	Before the LEC can exchange data, a bridgeport on the Ethernet or
	FDDI SwitchModule must also be assigned to the vbridge.

Manual If the module cannot successfully autoconfigure, use the following Bridgeport-LECprocedure to manually configure the required initial parameters.

Configuration

Mode

1Configure initial ATM Backbone SwitchModule parameters using the commands in the following example (configuring LEC 1 on a module in slot 4):

CB5000>set bport_lec 4.1 mode disable

CB5000>set bridge_port 4.1 vbridge 2

CB5000>set bport_lec 4.1 config_mode manual

CB5000>set bport_lec 4.1 les_atm_address <address>

CB5000>set bport_lec 4.1 elan_name <name> (may not be required)

CB5000>set bport_lec 4.1 mode enable
