Creating an Emulated LAN IP Over ATM and LANE
The LECS address is constructed from:
netprefix + chassis MAC address + selector byte of 01
For example
netprefix = 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:A3:87:0B
chassis MAC address = 00:00:1D:A3:87:0B
then,
default LECS address = 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:A3:87:0B:00:00:1D:A3:87:0B:01
The LES and BUS have the same ATM address. LES and BUS addresses are constructed from:
netprefix + chassis MAC address + ELAN number summed with the numerical value two (2)
For example
netprefix = 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:A3:87:0B
chassis MAC address = 00:00:1D:A3:87:0B
ELAN number = 3
then,
default LES and BUS addresses = 39:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:1D:A3:87:0B:05
2.2.2 ELANs Across Multiple Switches
ELANs can exist within a single switch, or they can span multiple switches. When an ELAN spans multiple switches,
it’s important that all switches within the group use the same LECS (see note, below). The general rule is: “Within an
administrative domain (a group of switches with related ELANs), there should be one and only one LECS.” For this
reason, never start the LECS on more than one switch within the administrative domain.
Note The exception to the statement above is that if LNNI is enabled, multiple,
redundant LECS’ and LES/BUS’ can exist within the same administrative
domain. See Section 2.2.7 “Using LNNI.”
Note If an uplink, end node, or other ATM switch does not support PNNI, or if its
version of ILMI is incompatible, it may be necessary to set up a static route
between the device and the rest of the ELAN. See Chapter 4, "Routing."
