Chapter 16 Managing an ELAN

To list or change the ELAN names for the default ELAN names, see Specified ELAN Defaults in the LECS in Chapter 14, “Managing the LECS”.

Listing all ELANs known to the local LECS

In an M770 ATM Switch LECS, the LECS will support 64 ELANs including the pre- defined ELAN. The name “default” supports Ethernet ELANs.

If the ELAN mode has been determined by the first LES to register with the ELAN, then an asterisk (*) will be displayed.

An asterisk near the LANE2 capability parameter indicates that it was set to “auto” and the capability has been set by the first LES to register.

An asterisk near the ELAN-ID indicates that it has been calculated by the software.

To display a list of ELANs that are known to the local LECS, enter the lane elan show command:

Creating a New ELAN

You can define up to 64 ELANs that will be known to the LECS on an M770 ATM Switch.

If the LES is hosted in a device other than the M770 ATM Switch, then you must specify the ATM address where the LES will be located.

If the M770 ATM Switch will host the LES, then you should set the <LES-id> to “auto”. This will enable the LES to automatically register with the ELAN. For information about the automatic LES address determination method, see the Section “The LES and BUS in an Avaya M770 ATM Switch”, in Chapter 13, “LANE Services”.
