Configuring the ATM adapter for an Emulated LAN

Adding an Emulated LAN to the ATM adapter

Prerequisite

Before you configure the ATM adapter to operate on an Emulated LAN, you must configure the LANE Configuration Server ATM address for each adapter, as described in Configuring the LANE Configuration Server address. Also, the Emulated LAN you specify must already have been configured at the switch.

Adding an Emulated LAN to the adapter

To add the Emulated LAN to the adapter, complete the following steps.

Step	Action
1	Enter the following command: atm elconfig add ELAN -if interface -les ATM_address - type ethernet -unit unit_number ELAN is the Emulated LAN that you want the adapter to join. interface is the logical network interface. The `-les` flag is for joining Emulated LANs whose configuration information is not returned by a LANE Configuration Server. Note You only use the `-les` flag when the `-manual` flag is set in the `atm elconfig set` command. Do not use the `-les` flag if the LANE Configuration Server address is set to `wellknown`. ATM_address is the LANE Server ATM address. unit_number is the unit designator for the ATM adapter in the filer. Note If there is only a single ATM adapter in the filer, you do not need to specify the unit number in the command. The `atm elconfig` command sets it automatically.
2	To add more than one Emulated LAN to an adapter, repeat Step 1.

Step

Action

Enter the following command:

atm elconfig add ELAN -if interface -les ATM_address -
type ethernet -unit unit_number

ELAN is the Emulated LAN that you want the adapter to join.

interface is the logical network interface.

The -les flag is for joining Emulated LANs whose configuration information is not returned by a LANE Configuration Server.

Note
You only use the -les flag when the -manual flag is set in the atm elconfig set command. Do not use the -les flag if the LANE Configuration Server address is set to wellknown.

ATM_address is the LANE Server ATM address.

unit_number is the unit designator for the ATM adapter in the filer.

Note
If there is only a single ATM adapter in the filer, you do not need to specify the unit number in the command. The atm elconfig command sets it automatically.

To add more than one Emulated LAN to an adapter, repeat Step 1.

Example of the atm elconfig add command

The following command adds the adapter unit 2 to the nineKMTU Emulated LAN of type Ethernet, using interface el1:

atm elconfig add nineKMTU -if el1 -type ethernet -unit 2

Interpreting the output

This example assumes that the nineKMTU Emulated LAN already exists on the switch.

The el1 interface refers to a logical interface, thereby enabling you to configure more than one logical interface for the same physical ATM adapter. This means that you can use the atm elconfig add command repeatedly to configure the filer to communicate over multiple Emulated LANs using a single physical ATM adapter. Only Ethernet emulated networks are supported.
