Step 3
ATM(lane-config-database)#
nameelan -namelocal-seg-
idsegment-number
Assigns a segment number to the emulated Token Ring LAN in the configuration
database.
The segment number you specify for the local-seg-id keyword must remain the same for
each entry you add and it must also be identical to the ring number of the TrCRF. The set
vlaninterface configuration command assumes that any ring number you enter is in
hexadecimal. The name elan-name local-seg-id segment-number LANE database
configuration command assumes that any value you enter for the local-seg-id keyword is
in decimal unless you enter it explicitly in hexadecimal.
Step 4
ATM(lane-config-database)#
default-nameelan -name
Provides a default name for the ELAN in the configuration database.
If you are setting up only a default ELAN, the elan-name argument in Step 2 and Step 3
is the same as the default ELAN name you provide in Step 4.
Step 5
ATM(lane-config-database)#
exit
Exits from database configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.
Setting Up the Database for Unrestricted-Membership ELANs
When you configure unrestricted-membership ELANs in the LECS database, you create database entries
that link the name of each ELAN to the ATM address of its LES/BUS.
However, you may choose not to specify where the LECs are located. That is, when you set up the LECS’s
database, you do not have to provide any database entries that link the ATM addresses or MAC addresses
of any clients with the ELAN name. The LECS assigns the clients to the ELANs specified in the client’s
configurations.
Note
In the steps listed in the task table, enter the ATM address of the server for the specified ELAN, as noted in
your LANE worksheet and obtained in the
Displaying LANE Default Addresses, page 11
section earlier in
this chapter.
To configure unrestricted-membership ELANs in the LECS database, use the following commands
beginning in global configuration mode:
