modes are:

• distributed - the ELAN will adopt the mode that supports distributed LANE
Services.
• autosense - the ELAN will adopt the mode from the first registering LES.
For more information about the above automatic LES address determination
methods, see Chapter 13, “LANE Services”.
To change the automatic registration mode of an ELAN, use the lane elan
autovers command:
