Chapter 16 Managing an ELAN
216 Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide
Changing the Security of an ELAN
You can change the security of an ELAN. By default, all ELANs are open ELANs
when they are created. This means that any LEC can request to join the open ELAN.
If an ELAN is closed then only LECs that have client mappi ngs to the ELAN will be
able to access the secure ELAN. For more information about setting up client
mappings, see Managing ELAN Clients later in this chapter.
To change the security of an ELAN, enter the lane elan security command:
Note: The above change will take effect immediately, but will not affect the LECs
that are already on the ELAN.
Command: M15-155s8:/>lane elan security <name> {open |closed}
Parameters: <name> The name of the ELAN.
open Changes the security of the named ELAN to open. By default all
ELANs are set to open security when created.
