lane global-lecs-address

To specify a list of LECS addresses to use when the addresses cannot be obtained from the ILMI, use the lane global-lecs-address command in interface configuration mode. To remove an LECS address from the list, use the no form of this command.

no lane global-lecs-address address

Syntax Description

address

Address of the LECS. You cannot use the well-known LECS address.

Defaults

No addresses are configured. The router obtains LECS addresses from the ILMI.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
11.2	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command when your ATM switches do not support the ILMI list of LECS addresses and you want to configure Simple Server Redundancy. This command will simulate the list of LECS addresses, as if they had been obtained from the ILMI. Use this command with a different address for each LECS. The order they are used determines their priority. You should enter the addresses in the same order as you would on the ATM switch.

---

Note You must configure the same list of addresses on each interface that contains a LANE entity.

---

If your switches do support ILMI, this command forces the router to use the addresses specified and will not use the ILMI to obtain the LECS addresses.

Since the well-known LECS address is always used as a last resort LECS address, you cannot use the address in this command.

lane le-arp

To add a static entry to the LE ARP table of the LANE client configured on the specified subinterface, use the lane le-arp command in interface configuration mode. To remove a static entry from the LE ARP table of the LANE client on the specified subinterface, use the no form of this command.

lane server-bus

To enable a LANE server and a broadcast and unknown server (BUS) on the specified subinterface with the ELAN ID, use the lane server-bus command in interface configuration mode. To disable a LANE server and BUS on the specified subinterface, use the no form of this command.

lane server-bus {ethernet | tokenring} elan-name [elan-id id]

no lane server-bus {ethernet | tokenring} elan-name [elan-id id]

Syntax Description

ethernet	Identifies the emulated LAN attached to this subinterface as an Ethernet emulated LAN (ELAN).
tokenring	Identifies the emulated LAN attached to this subinterface as a Token Ring ELAN.
elan-name	Name of the ELAN. The maximum length of the name is 32 characters.
elan-id	(Optional) Identifies the ELAN.
id	(Optional) Specifies the ELAN ID of the LEC.

Defaults

No LAN type or emulated LAN name is provided.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
11.0	This command was introduced.
12.0	This command was modified to support the elan-id keyword.

Usage Guidelines

The LANE server and the BUS are located on the same router.

If a lane server-bus command has already been used on the subinterface for a different emulated LAN, the server initiates termination procedures with all clients and comes up as the server for the new emulated LAN.

To participate in MPOA, a LEC must have an ELAN ID. This command enables the LEC to get the ELAN ID from the LES when the LEC bypasses the LECS phase.

---

Caution If an ELAN ID is supplied, make sure that it corresponds to the same ELAN ID value specified in the LECS for the same ELAN.

---

The LEC can also obtain the ELAN ID from the LECS by using the name elan-id command.

Examples

The following example enables a LANE server and BUS for a Token Ring ELAN named MYELAN:

lane server-bus tokenring myelan

Related Commands

maximum routes

To limit the maximum number of routes in a VRF to prevent a PE router from importing too many routes, use the maximum routes command in VRF submode. To remove the limit on the maximum number of routes allowed, use the no form of this command.

Syntax Description

limit	Specifies the maximum number of routes allowed in a VRF. You may select from 1 to 4,294,967,295 routes to be allowed in a VRF.
warn threshold	Rejects routes when the threshold limit is reached. The threshold limit is a percentage of the limit specified, from 1 to 100.
warn-only	Issues a SYSLOG error message when the maximum number of routes allowed for a VRF exceeds the threshold. However, additional routes are still allowed.

Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

VRF submode

Command History

Release	Modification
12.0(7)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use the maximum routes command, you must enter the VRF submode. In this submode you create a VRF routing table and assign a route distinguisher in one of the following formats:

• 16-bit autonomous system number (ASN): your 32-bit number
  For example, 101

• 32-bit address: your 16-bit number
  For example, 192.168.255.255

You then create a route-target extended community for a VRF and specify the import, export, or both arguments for the route-target command. These arguments allow you to configure a router to import and export routing information to the target VPN extended community.

Examples

In the following example, the route distinguisher ASN is 100, and the maximum number of VRF routes to allow is set to 1000. When the maximum routes for the VRF reaches 1000, the router issues a SYSLOG error message, but continues to accept new VRF routes.

ip vrf vrf1
 rd 100:1
 route-target import 100:1
 maximum routes 1000 warn-only

Related Commands

Command	Description
rd	Creates VRF routing and forwarding tables and specifies the default route distinguisher for a VPN.
route-target	Configures a VRF route target community for importing and exporting extended community attributes.
import map	Configures an import route map for a specified VRF for more control over routes imported into the VRF.

metric-style narrow

To configure a router to generate and accept old-style TLVs (TLV stands for type, length, and value object), use the metric-style narrow command in router configuration mode.

Command Modes

Router configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
12.0(5)S	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

If you enter the metric-wide style command, a router generates and accepts only new-style TLVs. Therefore, the router uses less memory and other resources rather than generating both old-style and new-style TLVs.

This style is appropriate for enabling MPLS traffic engineering across an entire network.

---

Note This discussion of metric-styles and transition strategies is oriented towards traffic engineering deployment. Other commands and models may be appropriate if the new-style TLVs are desired for other reasons. For example, a network may require wider metrics, but may not use traffic engineering.

---

Examples

The following command configures a router to generate and accept only new-style TLVs on level 1:

metric-style wide level-1

Command History

Release	Modification
11.3(3a)WA4(5)	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command attaches an MPS to a specific (major) interface. At this point, the MPS has the capability to obtain its auto-generated ATM address and an interface through which it can communicate to the neighboring MPOA devices. Only when an MPS is both defined globally and attached to an interface is it considered to be operational. Although multiple different servers may share the same hardware interface, an MPS can be attached to only a single interface at any one time. Note that the specified MPS must have already been defined when this command is entered.

Examples

The following example attaches the MPS named MYMPS to an ATM interface:

mpoa server name MYMPS

mpoa server name trigger ip-address

To originate an MPOA trigger for the specified IP address to the specified MPOA client from the specified MPS, use the mpoa server name trigger ip-address command in EXEC mode.
