Chapter 14 Managing the LECS

Specified ELAN Defaults in the LECS

Viewing default ELANs

When a LEC contacts the LECS, it usually specifies the ELAN name or the ELAN type that it wants to join. You can define up to 64 different ELAN names in an M770 ATM Switch LECS.

You can define default ELANs for switches hosting a local LECS. These are the ELANs that a LEC should join if it only specifies the ELAN type and not the name of an ELAN.

In cases where the LEC has not specified the ELAN name or the ELAN type, you can set up a default ELAN that will be used.

The following default ELAN names are defined in a M770 ATM Switch:

an Ethernet type ELAN:“default”.

an Unspecified type ELAN:“default”.

The ELAN name specified here will be used when a LEC does not provide the ELAN name nor the ELAN type that it wants to join.

Note: You can only view and configure the defaults if you are using the local LECS in the M770 ATM Switch or hosting a resilient LECS.

To display the default ELANs that have been specified in the LECS, use the lane lecs default command:

Command:

M15-155s8:/>lane lecs default

Output:

No default Token Ring ELAN

 

Default Ethernet ELAN: default

 

Default ELAN for unspecified type: default

To change the ELAN names for the default ELAN names, see “Specifying default ELANs” on page 198.
