Console Commands

LECSAddress

Use LECSAddress (LAN emulation configuration server ATM address) to configure addresses on the switch. This address identifies the LECS on the network that will be contacted for information when LAN emulation is used. While there can be many switches in a network, there should be only one active LECS, with the LECS address on each switch being configured to point to that LECS.

Parameters/Permissions

Description

 

 

 

add[LECSAddress] <lecsaddr> lecsaddress

Administrator

Defines the LECS ATM address to be used by LANE clients. If a local LECS is running, this address is automatically set to this LECS. If another LECS is to be used, stop the local LECS and add the new LECS ATM address. Remember that you can have only one LECS in an ATM network.

delete Administrator

lecsaddress

modify [LECSAddress] <lecsaddr> lecsaddress

Administrator

Removes the LECS ATM address from the switch.

Modifies the ATM address of the LECS. Enter modify lecsaddress if the LECS is not on the local switch and you want to redirect the LECS requests to another switch. To make your modification permanent between reboots, be sure to stop the LECS before entering this command.
