LECS Search Policy You can configure the LECS search policy.

Display LECS Search Display the search policy of the resident LECS, according to which a LES Policy address is assigned to a LEC that requests to join an ELAN.

When a LEC applies to the LECS to join an ELAN, it can supply the following information to assist the LECS:

The ATM address of the LES with which it wants to communicate over an ELAN

The MAC address of the LES with which it wants to communicate over

￿an ELAN

The name of the ELAN it wants to join

Accordingly, there are three possible search policies that the LECS can execute:

1The LECS searches for an ELAN whose LES has the required ATM address.

2The LECS searches for an ELAN that contains the LES with the required MAC address.

3The LECS searches for an ELAN with the required name.

These three policies are tried by the LECS in order. If one does not succeed, the next is tried.
