Add ELAN Add an ELAN to the LECS database, that is, add a new LES. Specify the
ELAN name and LES ATM address.
You can use any legal ELAN name. The names of the ELANs on a
particular switch all have the form elan_
<XXXX>_<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 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch. Each CoreBuilder 9000 ATM
Enterprise Switch LECS database has 16 default ELAN names and default
ATM addresses corresponding to the LESs in the same switch.
