Chapter 16 Managing an ELAN
214 Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide
Renaming an ELAN
You can rename an existing ELAN. The rename command will change the name
known to the LECS. If you are renaming a default ELAN, then the M770 ATM
Switch will update the default ELAN name with the new name, therefore no user
configuration is required.
You must be aware of the following changes that will be required, when you
rename an ELAN:
• Any LECs that specified the old ELAN name, must be configured to use the
new ELAN name.
Otherwise, when the LECs on this ELAN lose their connection with the LES
they will not be able to use the renamed ELAN.
• Any LES or LESes that used the old ELAN name should be renamed to use the
new ELAN name, wherever the LES may be located in the network.
To rename an ELAN, enter the lane elan rename command:
Note: The above change will take effect immediately.
Changing the Operating Mode of an ELAN
You can change the expected operating mode of LESes on a specified ELAN. This is
the method that LESes will learn the location of the specified ELAN.
If you are using a M770 LES and wish it to determine the method of registration for
the ELAN then you should set the ELAN operating mode to “auto”. For more
information about the different automatic LES address determination methods, see
Chapter 13, “LANE Services”.
Otherwise you must supply the full ATM address of the LES that will host the
specified ELAN.
