Configuring the LECS
This section describes how to configure the LECS, and includes the following procedures:
• Configuring the ATM Address of the LECS
• Configuring the LECS Database
You must configure the ATM address of the LECS on the ATM switch router.
Configuring the ATM Address of the LECS
The ATM switch router comes with a default unique prefix. To see the default prefix, enter
the show lane default atm address command. You can use the default prefix or assign a
new one. If you want to use the default prefix, skip this section and proceed to the next
section.
This section describes how to change the default prefix and configure a new one. All
attached LANE entities use the prefix to create their own ATM network service access point
(NSAP) addresses.
Take these steps:

[sequence#]
Configure a redundant LECS address and
sequence number for the entire switch. The
sequence number specifies the order of the
address in the LECS address table. If you
do not specify a sequence number, the
addresses are used in the order entered.
