LAN Emulation Client (LE only)
In order for SNMP to run properly, every device in the network must have a unique IP address and
subnetwork mask. In a LAN emulation subnetwork, you must use the SET DEVICE
LAN_EMULATION_CLIENT command to assign a unique IP address and subnetwork mask to the CPSW.
To configure the LEC, use the SET DEVICE LAN_EMULATION_CLIENT with the following parameters:
Ÿ LAN type (Ethernet or Token-Ring)
Ÿ IP address
Ÿ Subnetwork Mask
Ÿ Individual MAC address
Ÿ Associated LES/LECS ATM address
Notes:
1. The LEC may be Ethernet or Token-Ring. If Ethernet, then you must specify the Ethernet type (either
DIX or 802.3.) It is possible to specify one Ethernet and one Token-Ring LEC simultaneously.
2. If two LECs are configured, they must have different IP addresses, even if they are connected to
different LESs.
3. The MAC address must be in a 802.3 format. Local and universal administrated MAC addresses are
supported.
4. The associated LES ATM address is the address of a LES monitoring the emulated LAN. The LES
must be a LE Forum compliant LES, connected to an 8265 switch or 8285 ATM Workgroup Switch.
5. The maximum frame size and emulated LAN name are provided by the associated LES.
6. The SET DEVICE LAN_EMULATION_CLIENT command automatically starts the LEC.
7. No command to stop the LEC is available.
For example, to configure an Ethernet LEC with IP address 9.100.20.55:
à ð
8265ATM
>
set device lan_emulation_client eth eth_type DIX ip_address 9.1ðð.2ð.55
Client starting.
8265ATM>
á ñ
After the eth parameter, the other parameters may be entered in any order.
The first time the SET DEVICE LAN_EMULATION_CLIENT command is used, you must configure all
parameters before saving the configuration settings (no default values are provided). Once the
configuration settings have been saved, it is possible to change only one parameter at a time using the
SET DEVICE LAN_EMULATION_CLIENT command.
