DESCRIPTION
elconfig is a tool to display and modify the ATM Forum LAN Emulation Client configuration. elconfig allows the superuser to set the ATM address of the LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS), display the list of Emulated LANs (ELANs) configured in the LECS for this host, display the list of ELANs locally con- figured along with the membership state of each, and locally administer ELAN membership.
COMMANDS
show
The -configuredflag is used to display the name, the ATM addresses of the LE Services, local ATM addresses of the LEC, specific ELAN information, and the local network interface name of each ELAN currently configured in the system. Because the LE Services' ATM addresses may be acquired dynamically, only those addresses that have been learned will be displayed. In addition, if connec- tions exist to the LE Services, the VPI/VCI pairs for each connection are displayed. Alternatively, a single ELAN's configuration information may be dis- played by specifying the single argument elan. To retrieve the ATM address of the current LECS, the -lecsflag is used. If no options are given, the name and ATM address of the LES for each ELAN returned by the LECS are displayed.
add
The add command enables the user to join a particular ELAN and specify certain configuration parameters. The -autoflag is used to instruct the LEC to join the ELAN that is returned by the LECS. The -ifflag maps elan to the network inter- face (for example, el0 ), providing a mapping between ELAN name and network interface name. The -lesflag allows the specification of the LES's ATM address as ATMaddress for joining ELANs whose configuration information is not returned by a LECS.
delete
Used with elan, unjoin the specified ELAN, terminating connections to both its LES and BUS and removing the network interface associated with this ELAN.
