Setting Up a LAN Emulation Client
To configure the LEC, use the SET DEVICE LAN_EMULATION_CLIENT with the following parameters:
Ÿ LAN type
Ÿ IP address
Ÿ Subnetwork Mask
Ÿ Individual MAC address
Ÿ Associated LES ATM address
Notes:
1. The MAC address must be in a 802.3 format. Local and universal administered MAC addresses are
supported.
2. The associated LES ATM address is the address of a LES monitoring the 802.3 emulated LAN. The
LES may be internal to the 8285 or external.
In the case of an internal LES you should start the LES before you configure the LEC, in order to be
able to get its ATM address (via
SHOW LAN_EMUL SERVERS ).
3. The LEC does not support a LECS connection.
4. The maximum frame size and emulated LAN name are provided by the associated LES.
5. The
SET DEVICE LAN_EMULATION_CLIENT
command automatically starts the LEC.
6. By default, an 802.3 LEC is started. To start an Ethernet V.2 (DIX) LEC, use the ETH_TYPE DIX
keywords.
7. IBM TCP/IP for DOS configures the Emulated Ethernet Layer as Ethernet V.2 (DIX) by default.
8. No command to stop the LEC is available.
