Configuring LAN Emulation Client (LEC) Services
The Web Agent enables you to configure LAN Emulation Client (LEC) services. To
configure these services:
1. In the ATM Switch A500 section of the Web Agent window, select Services, then
select LEC. The LEC Configuration window opens.
2. Select the Mode (Enabled/Disabled).
3. Enter the Initialization Method to use.
4. Enter the Server ATM Address.
5. Enter the ELAN Name to use.
6. Click Apply to save your changes, or Cancel to restore previous settings.
To configure the LEC options, using the CLI:
1. In the ATM Switch A500 section of the Web Agent window, select CLI. A shell
window opens.
2. Execute the
admin lec
commands. For more information on these commands, see
Chapter 6, "admin Commands".
Static IP Connectivity
The Cajun A500 supports Internal Static IP connectivity. This functionality enables you
to manage the switches when there is no ethernet or any LANE services available. This
functionality supports in-band communication from an ethernet attached management
station on one Cajun A500 to the other Cajun A500s in the network. This capability is
only available when LANE in not available in the network. See Figure 1-3 for more
information.
U You configure one switch as the designated A500 or static IP server.
U You configure all other switches in the topology as static IP clients.
Static IP Server
The server keeps a table that maps the ATM addresses of the clients to their respective IP
addresses.The server also creates Inband connections to each of the clients. In this way,
ethernet connectivity is required only to the designated A500 static IP server. The server
acts as a proxy for the clients and bridges across the ethernet to the inband ATM
connections to the clients. The result is that you only need an out-of-band connection to
the server and from this connection can access (via telnet, web, SNMP etc.) all of the
other switches via the static IP connections.
