LECS ATM Address
By default, the SunATM software attempts to obtain the LECS address using ILMI, as specified in the LAN Emulation specification. If this is not successful, the “well- known” ATM address, also specified by the ATM Forum, is used.
If your LECS uses a different ATM address (not the

Emulated LAN Name
If multiple Emulated LANs (ELANs) are present, you can enter a character string in the Emulated LAN Name parameter. The LAN emulation client uses this parameter to tell the LAN emulation services which ELAN it wants to join. By default, if a SunATM LAN emulation client does not specify an ELAN name, it tells the services to assign it to the default (or only) ELAN.
Note
Additional Hostnames
The SunATM software supports logical interfaces in the SunATM LAN emulation environment. Logical interfaces allow you to assign multiple IP addresses to a single LAN Emulation interface. A logical interface name consists of three parts: the device name (in the case of SunATM LAN emulation, lane); the major number, which corresponds to the lane instance number; and the minor number, which distinguishes the logical interfaces on a single lane instance. The format of a LAN Emulation logical interface name is laneN:X, where N is the major number and X is the minor number (for example, lane0:2).
