ELAN names you have selected. You will need them for setting up the other switch module.

13When finished, close the Backbone and Services window.

14Wait one minute to allow the LECS order database to transfer to the other switch module.

The LECS ELAN database does not transfer automatically.

15Reboot the switch using the LMA menu sequence: (1) SYS / (7) RBO. The purpose of this step is to make the first switch module active in order to set up the LANE services there.

16After the first switch boots, check its connectivity with the NMS station as in step 8).

17Perform steps 10) and 12) using the same list of ELANs.

18Wait one minute.

Verifying LANE Redundancy Setup

19Use the MIB browser under the Transcend tools menu and browse through the MIB to verify that all the information regarding the LECS order list has been transferred correctly.

Look in the following MIB location:

private
