ATM Configuration and Troubleshooting Guide

Conﬁguring LAN Emulation Interfaces

Conﬁguring an ELAN Interface

Chapter 4 53

For Ethernet and Token Ring Networks

You can conﬁgure the ATM adapter to be a member of up to 32 ELANs

simultaneously. The ATM adapter has one logical LEC for every ELAN of

which it is a member.

IMPORTANT HP’s implementation of ATM does not support MPOA for Token Ring

networks. This is because of a lack of MPOA Server (MPS) support for

Token Ring in routers.

Also, HP’s implementation does not support MPOA for secondary LANs.

To conﬁgure an ELAN interface, follow these steps:

Step 1. Log in as root.

Step 2. Type sam to start SAM.

Step 3. Select “Networking and Communications”.

Step 4. Select “Network Interface Cards”.

Step 5. Highlight the ATM adapter that you want to conﬁgure ELAN interfaces

for, and then choose Configure from the “Actions” menu.

This opens the “Conﬁgure ATM Card” window, which lists all conﬁgured

interfaces for the ATM adapter.

Step 6. If there is no ELAN interface listed in the column under “Interface

Name,” select Add ELAN Interface from the “Actions” menu. This opens

the “Add ELAN interface” window.

If an ELAN interface is already listed in the “Interface Name” column,

highlight the interface and select Modify Interface from the “Actions”

menu. This opens the “Modify ELAN interface” window.

Step 7. Conﬁgure the ELAN interface parameters (use the SAM online help if

you need more information about any of the parameters). Note that the

ELAN name is case sensitive. So, you must conﬁgure the ELAN name in

SAM exactly as it is conﬁgured in the LECS.
