The Emulated LAN column lists the ELAN that is presently configured to
each port. The Type column contains a user defined keyword used by the
LECS to configure the port. There are two keywords used by the LECS:
❑
MAC - The LECS assigns an ELAN to a device using the device’s
MAC address. When the MAC address is received by the LECS, the
MAC address is matched to an ELAN using previously defined
information stored in the LECS.
❑
FIXED - The port is configured to the ELAN listed in the Emulated
LAN column. The MAC address of the device is ignored. In order for
the device to switch packets locally all ports must be configured to
“Fixed ELAN.”
Select a port by typing its number listed on the left of the screen. The port
you have selected will appear to the immediate right of “Emulated LAN: . . . ”
line. Port 1 was selected in this example.
On the ELAN configuration screen for the selected port, you can change the
method the
switch
uses to assign ELAN membership to network devices.
Choose either
M
for “MAC address determines ELAN; default is port’s
ELAN” or
F
for “Fixed ELAN: all devices on this port forced to port’s
ELAN.”
