Con®guring Forum LE Clients

different MAC address. If you have two clients that are bridged together, they should use different MAC addresses.

This MAC address is registered with the LES when the client joins the ELAN.

Valid Values:

Any valid MAC address.

Default Value:

none

Example:

LEC Config> set mac-address

Use adapter address for MAC? [No]

MAC address []: 10.00.5a.00.00.01

multicast-send-avg

Sets the multicast send VCC average rate in Kbps. Used by the LEC for reserving bandwidth on the VCC to the BUS. It speci®es the forward and backward sustained cell rate used when setting up a reserved bandwidth multicast send VCC.

This parameter is only applicable when the multicast-send-type is reserved bandwidth. If multicast-send-avg equals multicast-send-peak, then a constant bit rate (CBR) multicast send is signalled. Otherwise, a variable bit rate (VBR) multicast send is signalled. Multicast-send-avg must be less than or equal to multicast-send peak.

A reserved bandwidth multicast send VCC may improve data transfer rates in congested networks, but reserving bandwidth and not using it wastes network resources.

When the multicast-send-type is reserved, then multicast-send-avg and multicast-send-peak must be speci®ed.

Example:

LEC Config> set multicast-send-avg 4000

multicast-send-peak

Sets the multicast send peak rate in Kbps. Used by LEC for reserving bandwidth on the VCC to the BUS. It speci®es the forward and backward peak cell rate used when establishing a reserved bandwidth multicast send VCC.

This parameter is only applicable when the multicast-send-type is reserved bandwidth. If multicast-send-avg equals multicast-send-peak, then a constant bit rate (CBR) multicast send is signalled. Otherwise, a variable bit rate (VBR) multicast send is signalled. Multicast-send-avg must be less than or equal to multicast-send peak.

A reserved bandwidth multicast send VCC may improve data transfer rates in congested networks, but reserving bandwidth and not using it wastes network resources.

When the multicast-send-type is reserved, then multicast-send-avg and multicast-send-peak must be speci®ed.

Example:

LEC Config> set multicast-send-peak 155

multicast-send-type

Sets the multicast send type. Speci®es the method used by the LEC when establishing the multicast send VCC.
