LECS ELAN Database Operations 301
Add ELAN Adds an ELAN to the LECS database, that is, adds a new LES. Specify the
ELAN name and LES ATM address.
Any legal ELAN name can be used. The names of the ELANs resident on a
particular switch all have the form elanXXXX_n
where “XXXX” is a
number unique to the switch and “n” is the sequential number of the
ELAN between 0 and 15. This is the form to use for ELANs that you enter
in this section.
If the requested LES ATM address already exists in the LECS database, this
command defines a new
alias
ELAN with the same LAN type and frame
size. If the LES ATM address does not match any ATM address in the LECS
database, a new ELAN is created with the LAN type and max frame size
set to the default values (Ethernet, 1516).
You can define up to 380 ELANs in the LECS database of a CoreBuilder
7000 switch. Each CoreBuilder 7000 switch LECS database has 16 default
ELAN names and default ATM addresses corresponding to the LESs in the
same switch.
