ATM LAN Emulation Overview
B-5
Initial State
An LE client always starts in the Initial state before attempting to set up a
connection to the LECS.
LECS Connect State
An LE client enters the LECS Connect state when it attempts to set up a
connection to the LECS.
Configure State
An LE client enters the Configure state when it attempts to retrieve necessary
information (that is, the ATM address of the LES, LAN type, LAN name,
Maximum MTU, and various timeout values) to begin joining an emulated LAN.
Join State
An LE client enters the Join state when it attempts to join an emulated LAN.
Joining an emulated LAN requires that the LE client
• Set up a control VCC to communicate with the LES
• Send a join request (containing the client MAC address) to the LES
• Accept a control distributed VCC to receive control data from the LES
• Receive a valid join response from the LES containing a LAN emulation
client ID (LECID)
Note: No more than one Bay Networks router ATM LE client can join an
emulated LAN at any point in time. However, you can always move a LAN
emulation client to the desired emulated LAN using network management
software (for example, the Bay Networks Network Management Application
software).
