Chapter 2 Getting Started

Note: Ensure that the number of modules hosting a specific LES/BUS (e.g. default) does not exceed the maximum number of LESes per ELAN as defined in:

lan elan maxles (default 5, maximum 10).

5Determine if secure “Closed” ELANs are required. If required then you will need to set-up an ELAN client database in the Avaya M770.

For information about setting up ELAN clients, see Chapter 16 Managing ELAN Clients.

— By default when ELANs are created they are set-up as “Open” ELANs.

Recommended Redundant LANE Services Setup

You have the ability to setup redundant LANE services on every module. On each M770 ATM switch that contains N modules, you have the flexibility to configure N resilient LECS hosting ELANs that can be redundant N times. LANE redundancy is not just switch wide, but network wide. Each module in every switch can host redundant LANE services. We do not recommend that you place redundant LANE services on every module. In the event that you want to investigate where clients are registered and to look at the LECS, you need to look at every module in his network. The Cajun LaneMaster application helps you configure your redundant LANE services. To help you decide where to put the LANE services and to minimize configuration time, we recommend the following:

LECS:

Setup 2 resilient LECS on two different switches. One of the LECS

 

should have a higher priority than the other.

LES:

Setup 5 distributed LESs for each ELAN. Configure each LES on a

 

separate switch and if there are less than 5 switches, configure a LES

 

on multiple modules in each switch.

Example for LANE Configuration

The default LANE configuration of the Avaya M770 ATM Switch:

ELAN:

Ethernet ELAN named default

LES/BUS:

Ethernet LES named default

LECS:

Remote at the well known address (wka)

LEC:

Configured to join the Ethernet ELAN default
