3Com 9000 manual ANE Add new Elan record, New elan was added

LECS ELAN Database Operations 259

Add ELAN Add an ELAN to the LECS database, that is, add a new LES. Specify the ELAN name and LES ATM address.

You can use any legal ELAN name. The names of the ELANs on a particular switch all have the form elan_<XXXX>_<n> where <XXXX> is a number unique to the switch and <n> is the sequential number of the ELAN between 0 and 15. This is the form to use for ELANs that you enter in this section.

If the requested LES ATM address already exists in the LECS database, this command defines a new alias ELAN with the same LAN type and frame size. If the LES ATM address does not match any ATM address in the LECS database, a new ELAN is created with the LAN type and max frame size set to the default values (Ethernet, 1516).

You can define up to 380 ELANs in the LECS database of a CoreBuilder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch. Each CoreBuilder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch LECS database has 16 default ELAN names and default ATM addresses corresponding to the LESs in the same switch.
