5.1.10 8285 LAN Emulation Specifications

The 8285 is able alone to manage small LAN emulation networks.

Mechanisms and characteristics supported are:

5.1.10.1LAN Emulation Server (LES) and Broadcast Unknown Server (BUS)

•

•

•

•

•

•

Number of LES: 2

Maximum number of client registrations per LES: 128

Maximum number of client registration for both LES: 128 Multicast trees used by LES and BUS

Each LES is using one control distribute VCC for the non-proxy LECs, and one control distribute VCC for the proxy LECs

Each BUS uses one multicast forward VCC for proxy and non-proxy LECs.

5.1.10.2 IP over ATM (RFC 1577)

•

•

In-band management for SNMP/Telnet/Ping supported.

−Maximum transmission unit (MTU) size supported: 944 bytes. IP over ATM client imbedded.

−Maximum concurrent IP over ATM connections supported: 64.

5.1.10.3LAN Emulation Client (ATM Forum-Compliant LAN Emulation)

•

•

•

Number of LECs: 2.

−Token-Ring LAN (802.5).

−Ethernet LAN (Ethernet 802.3 or Ethernet V2/DIX).

−Both LEC can run concurrently.

Maximum number of connections supported per LEC: 30

Maximum length of LANE information field (MTU):

Is depending on the the maximum service data unit (SDU) size supported on the corresponding ELAN.
