must define an ELAN name and associate it with a number. To define
your ELAN, access the
Emulated LAN Definition
option within
the
Main Menu
. Choose the number and the name you wish to use.

Decide which ports (or MAC addresses) will be assigned to which ELANs.
Access the
Port to ELAN Configuration
submenu within the
LAN Emulation Menu

enabled on each port. By default all ports belong to ELAN 1 which is
named the “Default ELAN”.

PVC
Definitions
submenu within the
LAN Emulation Menu

switches which make up the point-to-point connection.
ATM Address — This is the ATM address of the device this PVC is
going to connect to.
VPI — Virtual Path Identifier. Accessed within the
ATM
Parameters

ELAN Number — Pick the correct number of the ELAN you want
this PVC to be a member of, or use the default (Default ELAN).
