Conﬁguring the LAN Emulation Clients (LECs)

The LEC applications software included with your 3C971-F adapter provides a method for allowing one ATM adapter to communicate with up to four LAN emulation servers (LESs) at a time. In a typical LAN emulation network, the LAN emulation conﬁguration server (LECS) provides a central point of contact for LAN emulation clients to obtain conﬁguration information. The LECS provides the client with the MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) size, ELAN name, and ATM address for the host LES. If your network does not contain an LECS, you have the option for setting each client to contact and join an LES directly instead of contacting the LECS.
