As a result, the LES and BUS on an ELAN use the same ATM address and the CIP interface address may be in conflict with one of the LANE components′ addresses. These ATM address duplications are supported by the IBM 8285 and also by the The ATM Forum standard.
Note
As to the ATM address sharing of LANE servers, The ATM Forum standard is defined as follows:
An LES may share an ATM address with an ATM address with a BUS on the same ELAN. An operational LES must not share an ATM address with any LANE components other than a BUS, even if two LANE components are
•LES/BUS Parameters
The integrated LES/BUS supports
To configure the LES/BUS, use the SET LAN_EMUL SERVER command with the following parameters:
−Server ID
Specify the designated LES/BUS identifier to issue the command. The valid options are 1 or 2.
−START / STOP
Start or stop the designated LES/BUS. When the command is to stop the server, the following parameters are not needed.
−ELAN Type
Specify the ELAN type of the designated LES/BUS. The valid options are ETH (Ethernet LANE) or TR
