Chapter 2 Getting Started

Following is a simple configuration example, which will enable you to start working with the LANE services and to connect a network management station which uses SNMP and CajunView Management.

1You need to decide where you want the LECS. The following command creates a local resilient LECS with priority 0 which advertises the well known address, on the module (while the LECS priority is 0 it will not be elected as active):

M15-155s8:/>lane lecs priority 0

To see all of the resilient LECS on the network type the following:

M15-155s8:/>lane lecs resilient show

If the location of the LECS is resident on a different switch or module at the wka, change the location of the LECS to be remote at the wka using the following command:

M15-155s8:/>lane lecs location remote wka

2If your management station is on an ELAN different than default, you might need to create a new ELAN. In order to create a new ELAN, two things must be performed. First, an entry for the ELAN must be defined in the LECS table, and a LES/BUS pair must be defined for the ELAN.

To create an ELAN named elan1, you need to first define an entry for elan1 in the LECS table, typing the following command, at the module which holds the LECS:

M15-155s8:/>lane elan create elan1 auto ethernet

3After all of the ELANs have been defined, in the ELAN database, you need to change the priority of the LECS to a priority higher than 0, so that it can participate in the LECS election. If you will be using more than one resilient LECS, configure one of the LECS to have a higher priority to the others using the following command (this example changes the LECS priority to 200):

M15-155s8:/>lane lecs priority 200

Then you need to define a distributed LES/BUS for elan1. To create a LES/BUS, that will use the selectors a1 and b1 for their ATM addresses, type the following command:

M15-155s8:/>lane les create elan1 distributed ethernet a1 b1

To Check if the LES registered its address with the LECS type:

M15-155s8:/>lane elan show

To check if any Clients registered with the LES elan1 type:

M15-155s8:/>lane les show
