This chapter describes the LAN Emulation (LANE) Manager feature for the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) module installed in Catalyst 5000 series or Catalyst 3000 series switches.
The LANE Manager for Catalyst 5000 series and Catalyst 3000 series switches automatically performs the following LANE configuration steps:
The LANE Manager window allows access to LANE management categories, including the following:
The LANE Manager displays changes according to the category selected. Only one category is displayed at a time. You can change the category to access different LANE management features. The default category displayed is LEC Management.
To display the information for any category, select the appropriate category from the pull-down menu by the side of the CATEGORY label.
To start the LANE Manager application, from the CiscoView main window, select Tools>LANE Manager.
The LECS Management window provides tools to configure, create, or delete a LECS database and s provide action buttons to display virtual channel connections (VCC) and run-time information about a selected LECS.
The LECS Management window contains a list box of LECS entities on the device (see Figure 4-1).
The following action buttons may be available depending on your platform and operating system:
When you click Database in the LECS Management window, the LECS Database window (see Figure 4-2) opens. The LECS Database window contains a list box of LECS databases on the device. Within this area, you can configure, create, or delete LECS databases.
The following action buttons may be available depending on your platform and operating system:
When you click Configure in the LECS Database window, the LECS Database Configuration window opens. The contents of the Database Configuration area depend on the category you select in the window; several categories are available:
If you select the ELAN category, the LECS Database Configuration window shows the configuration for each ELAN defined in a database (see Figure 4-3).
Displayed information includes the ELAN name, corresponding LES ATM address, and access level. The access level is either open or closed (restricted). Open indicates a LEC's joining requests for the ELAN are accepted; closed indicates that an LEC must match the MAC or ATM address specified in the database for this ELAN to be allowed in this LEC.
The following action buttons may be available depending on your platform and operating system:
If you select the Default ELAN category, the LECS Database Configuration window shows the default ELAN in the database, if it has been defined. In this window, you can specify the Default ELAN name (see Figure 4-4). To modify the existing configuration, edit the fields as appropriate, click Modify to commit your input, and exit the window when the configuration is accepted by the device. If the configuration is rejected by the device, an error message is displayed.
When you click Configure in the LECS Database Configuration--ELAN category window, the Database ELAN Configuration window opens. This window shows the configuration for a selected ELAN defined in a database. In this window, you can specify the LES serving this ELAN and the access mode for this ELAN (see Figure 4-5). To modify the ELAN, edit the fields as desired and click Modify to commit your input and exit the window. If an invalid value exists, an error message is displayed.
When you click Create in the LECS Database Configuration--ELAN category window, the Database ELAN Creation window opens. Within this window, you can specify the ELAN name, the LES serving the ELAN, and the access mode for the ELAN (see Figure 4-6). To create a new ELAN, edit the fields as appropriate and click Create.
If you select the LES category, the LECS Database Configuration window redraws to show LES entities defined for each ELAN, as well as the priority level and current state (see Figure 4-7). The priority level is the relative priority of the LES for servicing the ELAN; the lower the number, the more priority is given to the LES.
The following action buttons may be available depending on your platform and operating system:
When you click Configure in the LECS Database Configuration--LES category window, the Database LES Configuration window opens. In this window, you can specify the priority level for the LES of the selected ELAN (see Figure 4-8). To modify the existing configuration, edit the fields as appropriate and click Modify.
When you click Create in the LECS Database Configuration--LES category window, the Database LES Creation window opens. In this window, you can specify the name of the ELAN, the address, and priority level of a LES (see Figure 4-9). To create a new LES, click Create and define the fields as desired. Click Create to commit your input and exit the window when the creation is accepted by the device. If the creation is rejected by the device, an error message is displayed.
If you select the LEC MAC Address category, the LECS Database Configuration window redraws to show LEC MAC addresses (see Figure 4-10). In this window, you can specify the mapping from the primary MAC address of an LEC to the ELAN to which the LEC is assigned.
The following action buttons may be available depending on your platform and operating system:
When you click Configure in the LECS Database Configuration--LEC MAC Address category window, the Database LEC MAC Address Configuration window opens. This window allows you to specify the mapping from the primary MAC address of a LEC to the ELAN which the LEC is assigned (see Figure 4-11). To modify the existing configuration, edit the fields as appropriate and click Modify.
When you click Create in the LECS Database Configuration--LEC MAC Address category window, the Database LEC MAC Address Creation window opens. In this window, you can designate the LEC MAC address for an ELAN (see Figure 4-12). To create a new LEC MAC address, click Create and define the fields as desired. Click Create to commit your input and exit the window when the creation is accepted by the device. If the creation is rejected by the device, an error message is displayed.
If you select the LEC ATM Address category, the LECS Database Configuration window shows the LEC ATM Addresses. In this window, you can specify the mapping from the primary ATM address of an LEC to the ELAN which the LEC is assigned (see Figure 4-13).
The following action buttons may be available depending on your platform and operating system:
When you click Configuration in the LECS Database Configuration--LEC ATM Address category window, the Database LEC ATM Address Configuration window opens. In this window, you can specify the ELAN name to which the LEC is assigned (see Figure 4-14). To modify the existing configuration, edit the fields as appropriate and click Modify to commit your input, and exit the window when the configuration is accepted by the device. If the configuration is rejected by the device, an error message is displayed.
When you click Create in the LECS Database Configuration--LEC ATM Address category window, the Database LEC ATM Address Creation window opens. In this window, you can specify the LEC ATM address for a specific ELAN (see Figure 4-15). To create a new LEC ATM address, click Create and define the fields as desired. Click Create to commit your input and exit the window when the creation is accepted by the device. If the creation is rejected by the device, an error message is displayed.
The LES/BUS Management window provides tools to configure, create, or delete an LES or BUS, and display the following information:
The LES/BUS Management window contains a list box for all the LES/BUS entities on the device (see Figure 4-16).
The following action buttons may be available depending on your platform and operating system:
When you select an entry from the LES/BUS Management list box and click Configure, the LES/BUS Configuration window opens (see Figure 4-17). This window contains the detailed configuration of the selected LES/BUS and allows you to modify the existing configuration. To modify the existing configuration, edit the fields as appropriate and click Modify to commit your input, and exit the window when the configuration is accepted by the device. If the configuration is rejected by the device, an error message is displayed.
The LEC Management window provides action buttons to display the following information:
The LEC Management window contains a list box for all the LECs on the device (see
Figure 4-18).
