The lower the numerical value of a priority, the higher the priority. In the example above, a priority value of 1000 was specified. Subsequently, This policy will be tried before Best Effort (policy value = 65001).

: 6

— Specify type 6, assign ELAN by packet size requested by client

— Weight the policy at 1000

The LECSELANLEC Table

Many of the ELAN join policies use the information supplied by the add lecselanlec command. Use the add lecselanlec command to create a list of clients and to assign the ELAN each client should join.

Note You can also assign a TLV set to be used by the client on the specified ELAN.

Clients are identified within the lecselanlecs list by one (or a combination of) the following attributes:

ATM address

MAC address

Token Ring route descriptor (segment ID and bridge number)

IP address
