Identifying the LES
Address
Typically, more than one LAN Emulation Server (LES) is configured in an
ATM network, and each is responsible for the identification and location of a subset of
ELANs on the network. Identifying which LES is responsible for a target ELAN can be
accomplished either automatically or manually. Automatic identification is managed by the
LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS) based on "look-up" tables previously
configured by the network administrator. Automatic identification is the default
operational mode. You can choose, however, to disable automatic identification, and
identify the LES address manually.
Note: Identifying LES
addresses is most easily managed on the LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS).
Managing the address tables centrally on the LECS is easier than changing the LES address
on each GS2000 line card, especially when the physical configuration of a large network
changes. |
