Maps well-known address to the registered address of the server. This only can be done one address at a time, although you can add multiple well-known addresses. This mapping translates incoming call setups using the well-known address to the registered address of the server. Using a well-known address for the server provides location independence for accessing services (such as LECS). You are automatically assigned an address ID number when entering this command. This ID is useful when deleting well-known addresses, because you have to type only the ID number and not the whole ATM address.

Specifically for the LECS, you can map the well-known LECS address to the registered LECS address manually. Once the mapping is set, if the client fails to get the address through ILMI (integrated local management interface), it tries the well-known address. You can configure the server (LECS) anywhere in the network. Some applications expect to address packets to the well-known address. Clients use the same well-known address, so the location of the server does not matter. The AFI byte is set to 47 to indicate this is a well-known address.

Deletes the mapping between one well-known address and its registered address of an entity (such as LECS). Enter

before entering this command to

display the ID number to use as input.

Displays the mapping between the well-known address and the registered address of an entity (such as LECS). It also shows whether the address is dynamic or static. It lists all well-known addresses currently active. It is used for autodiscovery of the LECS by LANE clients.

flush	[RouteType] <routetype>
wellknownaddress	Administrator
	Administrator

Flushes all well-known addresses on the switch. Enter flush wellknownaddress with caution because it deletes all addresses of the indicated route type within the one command. This is the fast method of deleting a set of well-known addresses.
