6-14 CHAPTER 6: CONFIGURING THE COREBUILDER 7000 FAMILY ATM SWITCH
LE Client Configuration Section This section prompts you for the LAN Emulation Client configuration. You give names to the ELANs that you want to be active in the network. In the Virtual Network Configuration section, you will assign Ethernet ports to the ELANs you have named in this section to create vLANs. Until then, the ELANs are considered potential ELANs.
You can enter the names of resident ELANs of the switch you are setting up and you can enter names of ELANs from other devices in the network. You can define any number of potential ELANs. To end the sequence, press Enter.
The names of the ELANs resident on a particular switch all have the form elanXXXX_n where “XXXX” is a number unique to the switch and “n” is the sequential number of the ELAN. This is the form you need to use for ELANs that you enter in this section (except for the admin ELAN).
You are first prompted for the name of the admin vLAN. The default name displayed is the name of the admin vLAN of the CoreBuilder 7X00 which is installed in the highest occupied slot in the CoreBuilder chassis. You can change it if you wish.
The name for the admin vLAN which is specified in this section will be automatically chosen for the other modules housed in the same CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch chassis, overriding any existing admin vLAN names.
For this section and the Virtual Network Configuration section to operate correctly, at least one CoreBuilder 7X00 interface card must be installed in the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch chassis.
The following shows a typical LE Client Configuration section. Make a list of the ELAN names and the numbers to which they are assigned in this section. You will use it in the Virtual Network Configuration section.
