Note: The router shown in Figure 1.6 is not a LAN Emulation component, but would be required should a device on one Emulated LAN need to communicate with a device on another Emulated LAN.

LAN Emulation and Avaya Devices

LAN Emulation components are implemented in ATM devices. The LAN Emulation standards do not specify how each vendor implements each of these components.

Avaya provides a wide range of ATM equipment, and the following example is just one way in which you can implement an Emulated LAN using Avaya devices.

An Example:

•The Avaya M770 ATM switch incorporates the BUS, LES and LECS components. These components are known collectively as LANE Services.

•The M-ACC module has 16 LAN Emulation Clients (LECs); one for each of the Virtual LANs (VLANs) supported by the module.
