Chapter14 Configuring LANEmulation
LANE Configuration Tasks
To set up the LECS for the default emulated LAN, perform the following steps, beginning in global
configuration mode:
In Step 2, enter the ATM address of the server for the specified emulated LAN, as noted in your
worksheet and obtained in Displaying LANE Default Addresses, page 14-6. You can have any number
of servers per emulated LAN for fault tolerance. Entry order determines priority: the first entry has the
highest priority unless you override it with the index option.
If you are setting up only a default emulated LAN, t he elan-name value in Step 2 is the same as the
default emulated LAN name you provide in Step 4.
To set up fault-tolerant operation, see Configuring Fault-Tolerant Operation, page 14-15.
For examples of these commands, see LANE Configuration Examples, page 14-17.
Setting Up the Database for Unrestricted-Membership Emulated LANs
When you set up a database for unrestricted emulated LANs, you create database entries that link the
name of each emulated LAN to the ATM address of its server.
However, you can choose not to specify the locations of the LANE clients. That is, when you set up the
configuration server database, you do not have to provide any database entries that link the ATM
addresses or media access control (MAC) addresses of any clients with the emulated LAN name.
To configure a router or switch router as the LECS for multiple emulated LANs with unrestricted
membership, perform the following steps, beginning in global configurat ion mode:
Command Purpose
Step1 Switch(config)# lane database database-name
Switch(lane-config-database)#
Creates a named database for the LECS.
Step2 Switch(lane-config-database)# name elan-name
server-atm-address atm-address [index n]
In the configuration database, binds the name of
the emulated LAN to the ATM address of the
LES.
Step3 Switch(lane-config-database)# name elan-name
local-seg-id seg-num
(Token Ring only.) In the configuration database,
specifies the ring number for the emulated LAN.
(Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010)
Step4 Switch(lane-config-database)# default-name
elan-name
In the configuration database, assigns an
emulated LAN to the LECS trying to join without
specifying an ELAN name.
Command Purpose
Step1 Switch(config)# lane database database-name
Switch(lane-config-database)#
Creates a named database for the LECS.
Step2 Switch(lane-config-database)# name elan-name1
server-atm-address atm-address [index n]
In the configuration database, binds the name of
the first emulated LAN to the ATM address of the
LES for that emulated LAN.
Step3 Switch(lane-config-database)# name elan-name1
local-seg-id seg-num
(Token Ring only.) In the configuration database,
specifies the ring number for the first emulated
LAN. (Catalyst8510 MSR and
LightStream 1010)
