This is analogous to a phone company that supports a communication system. Even though the phone company maintains the circuits, a call to the phone company itself cannot be made unless the phone company has its own number and connection on its own phone system. Similarly, VLAN membership (and the reachability) of a SmartCell 6A000 on any particular VLAN depends upon whether the SmartCell 6A000 has a local client connection for that VLAN.

Clients are created using the command add laneclient for LAN emulation, and add ipatmclient for IP over ATM.

For example, the following command adds a switch client to the ELAN elan1:

SmartCell ZX# add laneclient

 

ClientNumber(0)

: 1

LanName(ELAN001)

: elan1

ServerType(LECS)

:

ServerAddress()

:

IPAddress()

: 128.213.77.95

NetMask(255.255.0.0)

:

MTU(1516)

:

SmartCell ZX#

 

Prior to creating this local client connection, end devices could communicate with each other through elan1, but they could not communicate with the SmartCell 6A000.
