Virtual LANs in the 7600 Card 12-19

a Virtual LAN. The LAN stations communicate over the VCCs set up by the ELAN.

Figure 12-4 shows how two such vLANs, for example Engineering and Finance, might be connected on the ATM network. Each vLAN has a separate ELAN (ELAN 1 and ELAN 2) which establish the data-direct VCCs on which members of the vLAN communicate. Figure 12-5 shows how an ELAN is embedded in a vLAN.
