Components
ATM Backbone SwitchModule configuration consists of three main
components, described in the following sections:
LAN Emulation Configuration
Defines up to 64 LECs (LAN Emulation Client s) and assigns each to a
unique ELAN. LEC configuration also invol ves defining various ELAN
parameters for created LECs.
Initial LEC configuration requirements are specified in Configuring LAN
Emulation Parameters later in this document.
Bridge Configuration
After it is created, a LEC must be assigned to an existing SwitchModule
vbridge and can be configured as a normal Sw itchModule bridge port,
except that the SwitchModule never elects a bridgeport-LEC as master
bridge port.
See the CoreBuilder5000 SwitchModule User Guide for more
information on master bridge ports.
Initial bridge configuration requirements are specified i n Configuring
LAN Emulation Parameters later in this chapter. For a complete list of
configurable bridging parameters, see the CoreBuilder500 0
SwitchModule User Guide.
