Cabletron Systems HSIM-A6DP- Manual De Usuario

The ATM Discovery ELAN Setup screen is used only when the host 
device is configured to operate as a SecureFast switch. Upon first 
initialization, the HSIM-A6DP attempts to contact any other 
HSIM-A6DPs present on the SecureFast network. Once all HSIM-A6DPs 
have discovered each other, they automatically create a default discovery 
ELAN.

All LECs that have been configured on the HSIM-A6DP use the 
discovery ELAN(s) for notification of new LECs joining the discovery 
ELAN. In this fashion, all LECs are aware of each other on the 
SecureFast ATM network. The SecureFast network may be further 
segmented by setting specific HSIM-A6DPs to belong to specific 
discovery ELANs designated by the user in the Discovery ELAN Setup 
screen. Up to 16 ELANs may be designated as discovery ELANs, and the 
HSIM-A6DP may belong to any number of these 16 ELANs.

The default ELAN is represented as Index 1 on the ATM Discovery 
ELAN Setup screen in 

After this default ELAN is created, the user may set existing ELANs to be 
discovery ELANS (to a total of 16) and assign the HSIM-A6DP to these 
new discovery ELANs. The ATM Discovery ELAN Setup screen also 
allows the user to enable or disable each ELAN, as desired. The following 
definitions describe each of the ATM Discovery ELAN Setup screen 
fields:

Index (Read-only)

This field displays the number assigned to this ELAN by the 
HSIM-A6DP. A total of 16 discovery ELANs are able to assigned to the 
HSIM-A6DP.

If the HSIM-A6DP is inserted into a SecureFast network where 
the default discovery ELAN has already been created, it will be 
instructed to join this ELAN, rather than create a new discovery 
ELAN.

The default ELAN does not have a name assigned to itself.
