Overview
10
Each entry which is automatically entered (a dynamic entry)
includes:
❑
An Ethernet MAC address
❑
The port number of the LAN on which the address resides
❑
The age of the entry
❑
ELAN/VLAN membership
Each entry which is manually entered (a static entry)
contains the same
information as a dynamic entry, except that a static entry is not aged.
The AT-4016F can store up to 2,048 static and dynamic entries in its
Bridge Address Table.
AT-4016F User Topology
As defined by the ATM Forum, the AT-4016F offers interoperability with
Ethernet hosts and other LAN Emulation Clients (LECs) through a LAN
Emulation User to Network Interface (LUNI).
Figure 7 shows an example linking many LANs across an ATM network.
In this example, even if all AT-4016F switches are in separate locations,
all the computing resources connected to them behave as if they are
co-located on the same LAN.
