ATM Addresses. The LECS uses LEC Media Access Control (MAC) addresses
(also known as Ethernet addresses) to determine ELAN assignment. If you do
not want to assign a MAC address to each and every device, a default ELAN can
be created.
For example, the first screen from the Emulated LAN definitions submenu
(via the Main and Lan Emulation menus) shows the first sixteen (of 64) ELANs.
ELAN Number corresponds to the LEC number. ELAN Name is the name of the
ELAN itself which is retrieved from the LECS during a configuration request.
ELAN #1 is Client #1 with the ATM address of: [NET Prefix] [Base MAC
Address] [Selector #01].
For instance, ELAN Number #1 is identified by “Default Elan” and is
“Operational.”
The following pages provide specific information which directly correlates the
Omega menus with LAN Emulation.
Note that a more complete discussion of Emulated LANs including such
information as address configuration and resolution, components, and topography
is contained in Appendix B — LANE.
