Managing LANE Services
This section explains how to manage the LAN Emulation (LANE) services provided
by the Cajun M770 ATM Device. It includes the following topics:
•Resilient LANE
• Choosing the LES Address for a LEC
• Setting Up the LECS
For more information on LAN Emulation, refer to

Resilient LANE
The Cajun M770 ATM Device, in addition to LANE 1.0, supports proprietary
redundant LANE services.
For more information on Resilient LANE, refer to
Proprietary Redundant Services
in
The Reference Guide
.
Choosing the LES Address for a LEC
When a LEC starts up, it connects to the LECS as usual. The LECS may have several
different possible LESs for a particular ELAN (if it is in distributed mode), so it must
decide which one to give to the LEC. There are several methods for determining
which LES is assigned to a LEC.
For more information on LEC to LES assignment methods, refer to
LEC to LES
Assignment
in
The Reference Guide.
Setting Up the LECS
Any ATM network which uses LANE must have one LECS that acts as a central
coordinator, ensuring that all LAN Emulation Clients (LECs) join the correct
ELANs. This section describes how to configure the LECS in the Cajun M770 ATM
Switch Manager.
You can view the resilient LECS table, and you can configure the local LECS, the
LECS ELANs table, and the LES/BUS Table.
