This chapter describes how to use the command-line interface to manage the management LEC in an Avaya M770 ATM Switch. For information about how to access and use the command-line interface, see Chapter 3 How to Use the Command-line Interface.

Avaya M770 LANE services

The Avaya M770 can host multiple LANE Servers (LECS, LES and BUS) in addition to one management LEC. For a list of all the M770 ATM Switch default LANE services settings, see Appendix A, “Default Settings on a New Avaya M770 ATM Switch”.

For information on how to manage the LANE services in an Avaya M770, see the LANE Chapters in this manual.

Configuring the Management LEC

The M770 ATM Switch has one management LEC for managing the M770 ATM Switch. It supports several high-level protocols such as:

•Telnet for a command-line interface.

•UDP for SNMP management and TFTP software upgrades.

•BOOTP for obtaining M770 ATM Switch’s IP address from a server.

•ICMP for PING inward and outward for IP network configuration diagnosis.

The management LEC resides on the module elected as the Master Agent. For information on Master Agent, see Chapter 1, ”Introduction”.

By default, the M770 ATM Switch management LEC uses the Burnt-In Address (BIA) of the Master Agent as its MAC address. This address can be overridden and a Locally Administered Address (LAA) can be assigned.

The management LEC will register this address with the LAN Emulation Server (LES) that is hosting the Emulated LAN (ELAN) the LEC wishes to join.

The M770 ATM Switch management LEC, by default, is assigned to register to an Ethernet ELAN named “default”.
