Configuring an Emulated LAN
3.4.1.2 LECS Configuration File Syntax
Each line that you enter in the configuration file takes the general form:
[[group].]key : value
The
group
field may represent:
• ELANs (by name) - ELAN names are case-sensitive, and may not
exceed 32 characters in length
• clients ATM or MAC addresses
• miscellaneous LECS control information specified by using a
group
name of LECS
The
key
field is used to denote an individual parameter within a
group
.
The value field contains the value assigned to the key .
Omitting the
group
implies that the
key
and
value
apply to all groups in the
configuration file. Leading and trailing spaces, as well as spaces on either side
of the “:”, are ignored.
For example, to specify a maximum frame size of 1516 bytes for the ELAN
named
engineering , enter the following:
engineering.Maximum_Frame_Size : 1516
Similarly, to specify a default maximum frame size of 1516 bytes for all
ELANs defined in a given configuration file, enter the following:
.Maximum_Frame_Size : 1516
