Configuring LAN Emulation
LANE Configuration Tasks
Note
This connection can be used for switch router management only.
A route processor (or optional ATM router module interface) configured as a LANE client allows you to
configure the ATM switch router from a remote host.
Configuring an Ethernet LANE Client
To configure the route processor interface (or optional ATM router module interface on the
Catalyst 8540 MSR) as an Ethernet LANE client on the ATM switch router, perform the following steps,
beginning in global configuration mode:
Note
To route traffic between an emulated LAN and a Fast Ethernet (FE) or Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface,
you must configure the LANE client on an ATM router module interface rather than a route processor
interface.
Example
The following example shows how to specify the LANE configuration server (LECS) address and
configure a LANE client on the route processor interface to emulate an Ethernet connection using the
automatic ATM address assignment:
Switch(config)#
atm lecs-address 47.0091.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.00
Switch(config)#
interface atm 0
Switch(config-if)#
lane client ethernet eng_elan
For additional examples of these commands, see
LANE Configuration Examples, page 14-17
. For LANE
client configuration examples on ATM router module interfaces, see
Chapter 25, “Configuring ATM
Router Module Interfaces.”

Step 3
Switch(config-if)#

atm-address-template
Specifies an ATM address, and overrides the
automatic ATM address assignment for the
LANE client.
Step 4
Switch(config-if)#

Configures a LANE client on the specified
subinterface.
