Configuring an Emulated LAN

NOTE

You must enter the address of each of the DLE
peer servers when you are starting DLE; e.g., if
you want four peers, then all four must be
configured with the addresses of the other three
peers, as well as their own LES address, at the
time that each LES/BUS is started. If you want to
add new peers to the list, you can use the 

conf

lane

 

les

 

peeradd

 command.

2.

Use the following AMI command to verify that the LES and the BUS have been
started and are running.

3.

You should then configure the DLE peer servers. Open an AMI session on one of
the other switches that will run a DLE peer server and enter something similar to
the following:

conf lane les new 10 engineering -anycast

4.

Open an AMI session on the third switch that will run a DLE peer server and enter
something similar to the following:

conf lane les new 44 engineering -anycast
