Cabletron Systems 9A100 manual Create a client for the switch on the ELAN. For example, enter

%•F"›amV˜"m˜'h¤d"›F=˜/"2 ˜˜,6˜3¦F•˜":1˜"m=˜/"2'

1.Enter the start LECS command to activate LANE server services on this switch.

SmartSwitch # start lecs

NOTICE - 'LECS' ***** LECS started *****

SmartSwitch #

2.Create an ELAN on your SmartSwitch 9A100 switch by executing the add elan command. The following is an example.

SmartSwitch #	add	elan
ELANNumber(0)	: 1	<1 is used instead of the default, (0)

ELANName(ELAN001): Marketing <ELAN is named Marketing instead of the default, (ELAN000)

ConnectMethod(SVC):
ELANType(802.3)	<The default (Ethernet) is used
Multipoint(YES) :
MTU(1516) :
Distribute(PROXY) :
SmartSwitch #

3.Create a client for the switch on the ELAN. For example, enter

SmartSwitch # add laneclient

ClientNumber(0) :1<One is used instead of the default, (0)

LanName(ELAN001) : Marketing < ELAN name is Marketing, not the default, (ELAN001)

ServerType(LECS) :
ServerAddress()	<No LANE server address is specified; see note below
IPAddress() : 90.1.1.1	< IP address and subnet mask are included only as examples

NetMask(255.0.0.0): 255.255.255.0

MTU(1516) :

SmartSwitch #

Note The command add laneclient always prompts you with a subnet mask that is appropriate for the IP address. However, if necessary, you can change the subnet mask to correspond to the strategy employed within your networks.

Note When you create a client, it automatically finds the LECS address using ILMI.

As the local client joins the ELAN, the following messages are sent to the Event log:

NOTICE - 'ZLESSRV' LES Join 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:41:80:00:20:D4:

14:41:82:00

NOTICE - 'ZLESSRV' BUS Connect 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:41:80:00:20:D4:

14:41:82:00

Caution Never create an ELAN (or ELAN client) with the same subnet as the

SmartSwitch 9A100 Ethernet port.
