1. Enter the
start LECS
command to activate LANE server services on this switch.
SmartSwitch # start lecs
NOTICE - 'LECS' ***** LECS started *****
SmartSwitch #
2. Create an ELAN on your SmartSwitch 9A100 switch by executing the
add elan
command. The
following is an example.
SmartSwitch # add elan
ELANNumber(0) : 1
<1 is used instead of the default, (0)
ELANName(ELAN001): Marketing <ELAN is named Marketing instead of the default, (ELAN000)
ConnectMethod(SVC):
ELANType(802.3)
<The default (Ethernet) is used
Multipoint(YES) :
MTU(1516) :
Distribute(PROXY) :
SmartSwitch #
3. Create a client for the switch on the ELAN. For example, enter
SmartSwitch # add laneclient
ClientNumber(0) :1
<One is used instead of the default, (0)
LanName(ELAN001) : Marketing < ELAN name is Marketing, not the default, (ELAN001)
ServerType(LECS) :
ServerAddress()
<No LANE server address is specified; see note below
IPAddress() : 90.1.1.1 < IP address and subnet mask are included only as examples
NetMask(255.0.0.0): 255.255.255.0
MTU(1516) :
SmartSwitch #
Note
The command
add laneclient
always prompts you with a subnet mask that is
appropriate for the IP address. However, if necessary, you can change the subnet
mask to correspond to the strategy employed within your networks.
Note
When you create a client, it automatically finds the LECS address using ILMI.
As the local client joins the ELAN, the following messages are sent to the Event log:
NOTICE - 'ZLESSRV' LES Join 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:41:80:00:20:D4:
14:41:82:00
NOTICE - 'ZLESSRV' BUS Connect 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:14:41:80:00:20:D4:
14:41:82:00
Caution
Never create an ELAN (or ELAN client) with the same subnet as the
SmartSwitch 9A100 Ethernet port.
