You can use LANE if you have ATM switches and LANE modules to connect buildings or to extend Vlans across your ATM cloud.
If you use LANE, you are 'bridging' you traffic between two points. It works well, but there is concerns about TCNs BPDU and Spanning-Tree. Remember that you will extend you Vlan, with a flat network. The LANE services - LECS, LES and BUS - can be implemented in your LANE module, although it can be implemented in your ATM switch. Each ELAN of your network (the VLAN in the ATM world) will connected to one LES. This means that you need to choose one equipment to be the reference of the ELAN. The CPU capacity of the LANE is not great, so you will have problems if the number of packet through your LANE services increase. Here are an example of the LANE module configuration: LANE module: ! lane database Yourname name ELAN_SPO server-atm-address 47.009181000000001007711101.001007747E41.02 ! interface ATM0.2 multipoint lane config-atm-address 47.009181000000001007711101.001007747E43.00 lane server-bus ethernet ELAN_YOUR lane client ethernet 11 ELAN_YOUR ! end As most of the technologies, it is easy to implement, although there is a lot to learn Hope helps, Alaerte "Ken Chipps" @groupstudy.com em 20/09/2002 17:09:19 Favor responder a "Ken Chipps" Enviado Por: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Assunto: Re: Which Version of ATM to Use [7:53737] Thanks, to the several that pointed out that ATM is dead in such an environment. I know that. What I mean is in the case where it is already in place, how do they do it? Assuming for whatever I reason I do not want to or cannot get rid of the ATM as the campus link, how is such a thing configured? Which of the techniques I listed do most people use? Or is there some other method I have yet to hear about? Is there just one way to do this? Does everybody with such an ATM link use LANE, if IP is the only thing they need to send?
