Add ELAN

The primary function of the LECS is to assign clients to LESs that serve ELANs. You enter the LE-Services LECS ELANS Add option to configure all of the ELANs under the administrative control of the LECS. Before any client for a particular ELAN can use this LECS, information on that ELAN must be configured on this LECS. Even if an ELAN is served by a local LES-BUS, the ELAN information must be configured here if the LECS is to refer any clients to that ELAN.

The Add option adds an ELAN to the static configuration of the LECS' administrative domain.

  1. Enter the ELAN name.

    Valid Values: any alphanumeric character string of length in the range of 1 to 32 characters.

    Default Value: ELANxx, where xx represents a unique, automatically generated decimal integer.

  2. Select the ELAN type.

    The type is either token-ring or ethernet.

  3. Select the maximum frame size of the ELAN.

    The Maximum frame size is the maximum size of an AAL-5 service date unit that the LE Service can guarantee not to drop because it is too large.

    Valid Values:

    Default Value:

    If the ELAN type is token ring, the default is 4544.

    If the ELAN type is Ethernet, the default is 1516.

Select the Submit button.


Remove ELAN

The Remove option prompts you to choose an ELAN for removal from the static configuration of the LECS' domain.

Select the name of the ELAN to be removed.

Valid Values: any alphanumeric character string of length in the range of 1 to 32 characters.

Default Value: none

Select the Submit button.


Select ELAN and Add LES

The primary function of the LECS is to assign clients to LESs that serve ELANs. You enter the LE-Services LECS ELANS Add option to configure all of the ELANs under the administrative control of the LECS. Before any client for a particular ELAN can use this LECS, information on that ELAN must be configured on this LECS. Even if an ELAN is served by a local LES-BUS, the ELAN information must be configured here if the LECS is to refer any clients to that ELAN.

Select an ELAN for additional (detailed) configuration.

The LESs option is used to manage the LES ATM addresses which represent LESs serving the selected ELAN. The ATM address of each LES serving this ELAN must exist here. Each LES ATM address consists of two addresses, a primary LES address and a backup LES address. The backup LES address serves as a hot standby LES which is activated when the primary LES goes down.

  1. Select if the primary LES is local or remote.

    If either of the LESs is located on the same MSS Server, you do not need to know the 20-byte ATM address of the LES; it will be determined at run-time.

  2. If the primary LES is remote, enter its ATM address.

  3. Select if the backup LES is local, remote or unspecified.

    If no backup support is provided for a particular LES, the unspecified option should be selected.

  4. If the primary LES is remote, enter its ATM address.

Select the Submit button.
