AT-S7/AT-S9 Operations Manual

25

By default, all devices on a port are in the same ELAN, but you can override 
membership assignments for individual devices on a port. See “MAC Address 
to ELAN Configuration Submenu” on page 28.

  NOTE

Ensure that the management workstation remains on the same ELAN as the 
management client port, Port 17. Otherwise you will lose contact with the 

switch

 via Telnet. If you lose contact, either Telnet in from a station on the 

management port’s ELAN, or initiate an Omega local session and reassign the 
management station’s port to be on the same ELAN as Port 17.

To make ELAN assignments by port:

Enter 

po

 to select the 

Port to ELAN Configuration

 submenu.

The Emulated LAN column lists the ELAN that is presently configured to each port. 
The Type column contains a user defined keyword to configure the port. 

There are normally two keywords used:

MAC - 

If you select MAC, the MAC address defined in the MAC 

address to ELAN configuration menu is used to determine ELAN 
membership for a device. This is the default method for assignment of 
devices to ELANs. If a device’s MAC address is not explicitly 
assigned to an ELAN, it is a member of the port’s ELAN

.

FIXED - 

If you choose Fixed ELAN, all devices on the port join the 

port’s designated ELAN regardless of individual device assignments

The MAC address of the device is ignored.
