3Com 6416SW manual LAN Emulation Client LEC, Max

LAN Emulation Client (LEC)

The 6416SW contains an integrated ‘lite’ LEC that provides basic LAN emulation client functions for use by an SNMP agent or for Internet FTP functions. Such functions include Netview, TELNET, and TFTP. The LEC implementation is fully ATM Forum

compliant.

The	maximum length of PING and TELNET messages depends on the	maximum SDU
size	supported on the corresponding emulated LAN. Table 1-2	lists the correspondence
