VLAN/ELAN. LECs not in the same VLAN/ELAN can only communicate using a router.

Insufficient Resources

Excessive traffic is overloading the ATM

 

device, and it does not have sufficient

 

resources to assign new connections.

 

A LEC requires a separate connection for

 

each LEC with which it needs to

 

communicate. If you try to bring up all of

 

the connections at the same time, the

 

ATM Module may run out of connections.

You may need to reconfigure or restructure your network. For example, you may wish to use a separate ATM Switch for LECS functionality.

Do not try to bring up too many connections at the same time.

You may need to reconfigure or restructure your network.
