An account on Cisco.com is not required. LANE on ATMLANE emulates an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet or IEEE 802.5 Token Ring LAN using ATM technology. LANE provides a service interface for network-layer protocols that is identical to existing MAC layers. No changes are required to existing upper layer protocols and applications. With LANE, Ethernet and Token Ring packets are encapsulated in the appropriate ATM cells and sent across the ATM network. When the packets reach the other side of the ATM network, they are deencapsulated. LANE essentially bridges LAN traffic across ATM switches. Benefits of LANEATM is a cell-switching and multiplexing technology designed to combine the benefits of circuit switching (constant transmission delay and guaranteed capacity) with those of packet switching (flexibility and efficiency for intermittent traffic). LANE allows legacy Ethernet and Token Ring LAN users to take advantage of ATM's benefits without modifying end-station hardware or software. ATM uses connection-oriented service with point-to-point signalling or multicast signalling between source and destination devices. However, LANs use connectionless service. Messages are broadcast to all devices on the network. With LANE, routers and switches emulate the connectionless service of a LAN for the endstations. By using LANE, you can scale your networks to larger sizes while preserving your investment in LAN technology. LANE ComponentsA single emulated LAN (ELAN) consists of the following entities: A LECS, a BUS, a LES, and LANE clients.
ELAN entities coexist on one or more Cisco routers. On Cisco routers, the LES and the BUS are combined into a single entity. Other LANE components include ATM switches--any ATM switch that supports the Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) and signalling. Multiple emulated LANs can coexist on a single ATM network. Simple Server RedundancyLANE relies on three servers: the LECS, the LES, and the BUS. If any one of these servers fails, the ELAN cannot fully function. Cisco has developed a fault tolerance mechanism known as simple server redundancy that eliminates these single points of failure. Although this scheme is proprietary, no new protocol additions have been made to the LANE subsystems. Simple server redundancy uses multiple LECSs and multiple broadcast-and-unknown and LESs. You can configure servers as backup servers, which will become active if a master server fails. The priority levels for the servers determine which servers have precedence. Refer to the "Configuring Fault-Tolerant Operation" section for details and notes on the Simple Server Redundancy Protocol (SSRP). LANE Implementation Considerations
Network SupportIn this release, Cisco supports the following networking features:
Cisco's implementation of LAN Emulation over 802.5 uses existing terminology and configuration options for Token Rings, including SRB. For more information about configuring SRB, see the chapter "Configuring Source-Route Bridging" in the Cisco IOS Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide. Transparent bridging and Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) are not supported at this time.
For information about configuring APPN over Ethernet LANE, refer to the "Configuring APPN" chapter in the Cisco IOS Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide. Hardware SupportThis release of LANE is supported on the following platforms:
The router must contain an ATM Interface Processor (AIP), ATM port adapter, or an NP-1A ATM Network Processor Module (NPM). These modules provide an ATM network interface for the routers. Network interfaces reside on modular interface processors, which provide a direct connection between the high-speed Cisco Extended Bus (CxBus) and the external networks. The maximum number of AIPs, ATM port adapters, or NPMs that the router supports depends on the bandwidth configured. The total bandwidth through all the AIPs, ATM port adapters, or NPMs in the system should be limited to 200 Mbps full duplex--two Transparent Asynchronous Transmitter/Receiver Interfaces (TAXIs), one Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and one E3, or one SONET and one lightly used SONET. This feature also requires one of the following switches:
TR-LANE requires Cisco IOS Release 3.1(2) or later on the LightStream 100 switch and Cisco IOS Release 11.1(8) or later on the LightStream 1010. For a complete description of the routers, switches, and interfaces, refer to your hardware documentation. AddressingOn a LAN, packets are addressed by the MAC-layer address of the destination and source stations. To provide similar functionality for LANE, MAC-layer addressing must be supported. Every LANE client must have a MAC address. In addition, every LANE component (server, client, BUS, and LECS) must have an ATM address that is different from that of all the other components. All LANE clients on the same interface have the same, automatically assigned MAC address. That MAC address is also used as the end-system identifier (ESI) part of the ATM address, as explained in the next section. Although client MAC addresses are not unique, all ATM addresses are unique. LANE ATM AddressesA LANE ATM address has the same syntax as an NSAP, but it is not a network-level address. It consists of the following:
Method of Automatically Assigning ATM AddressesWe provide the following standard method of constructing and assigning ATM and MAC addresses for use in a LECS's database. A pool of MAC addresses is assigned to each ATM interface on the router. On the Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7500 series routers, Cisco 4500 routers, and Cisco 4700 routers, the pool contains eight MAC addresses. For constructing ATM addresses, the following assignments are made to the LANE components:
Because the LANE components are defined on different subinterfaces of an ATM interface, the value of the selector field in an ATM address is different for each component. The result is a unique ATM address for each LANE component, even within the same router. For more information about assigning components to subinterfaces, see the "Rules for Assigning Components to Interfaces and Subinterfaces" section later in this chapter. For example, if the MAC addresses assigned to an interface are 0800.200C.1000 through 0800.200C.1007, the ESI part of the ATM addresses is assigned to LANE components as follows:
Refer to the "Multiple Token Ring ELANs with Unrestricted Membership Example" and the "Multiple Token Ring ELANs with Restricted Membership Example" sections for examples using MAC address values as ESI field values in ATM addresses and for examples using subinterface numbers as selector field values in ATM addresses. Using ATM Address TemplatesATM address templates can be used in many LANE commands that assign ATM addresses to LANE components (thus overriding automatically assigned ATM addresses) or that link client ATM addresses to emulated LANs. The use of templates can greatly simplify the use of these commands. The syntax of address templates, the use of address templates, and the use of wildcard characters within an address template for LANE are very similar to those for address templates of ISO CLNS.
LANE ATM address templates can use two types of wildcards: an asterisk (*) to match any single character, and an ellipsis (...) to match any number of leading or trailing characters. In LANE, a prefix template explicitly matches the prefix but uses wildcards for the ESI and selector fields. An ESI template explicitly matches the ESI field but uses wildcards for the prefix and selector. The table below indicates how the values of unspecified digits are determined when an ATM address template is used:
1 The lowest of the pool of MAC addresses assigned to the ATM interface plus a value that indicates the LANE component. For the Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7500 series routers, Cisco 4500 routers, and Cisco 4700 routers, the pool has eight MAC addresses.
Rules for Assigning Components to Interfaces and SubinterfacesThe following rules apply to assigning LANE components to the major ATM interface and its subinterfaces in a given router:
The assignment of any other component to the major interface is identical to assigning that component to the 0 subinterface.
LANE Configuration Task ListBefore you begin to configure LANE, you must decide whether you want to set up one or multiple emulated LANs. If you set up multiple emulated LANs, you must also decide where the servers and clients will be located, and whether to restrict the clients that can belong to each ELAN. Bridged emulated LANs are configured just like any other LAN, in terms of commands and outputs. Once you have made those basic decisions, you can proceed to configure LANE. Once LANE is configured, you can configure Multiprotocol over ATM (MPOA). For MPOA to work with LANE, a LANE client must have an ELAN ID to work properly, a LANE client must have an ELAN ID. To set up a LANE client for MPOA and give an ELAN ID perform the tasks described in the following section: Although the sections described contain information about configuring SSRP fault tolerance, refer to the Configuring Fault-Tolerant Operation section for detailed information about requirements and implementation considerations. Once LANE is configured, you can monitor and maintain the components in the participating routers by completing the tasks described in the Monitoring and Maintaining the LANE Components section. For configuration examples, see the "LANE Configuration Examples" section at the end of this chapter.
Creating a LANE Plan and WorksheetDraw up a plan and a worksheet for your own LANE scenario, showing the following information and leaving space for noting the ATM address of each of the LANE components on each subinterface of each participating router:
The last three items in this list are very important; they determine how you set up each ELAN in the LECS's database. Configuring the Prefix on the SwitchBefore you configure LANE components on any Cisco 7200 series router, Cisco 7500 series router, Cisco 4500 router, or Cisco 4700 router, you must configure the Cisco ATM switch with the ATM address prefix to be used by all LANE components in the switch cloud. On the Cisco switch, the ATM address prefix is called the node ID. Prefixes must be 26 digits long. If you provide fewer than 26 digits, zeros are added to the right of the specified value to fill it to 26 digits. On the switches, you can display the current prefix by using the show network EXEC command.
To set the ATM address prefix on the Cisco LightStream 1010 or on the Cisco LightStream 100 switch, follow these steps: DETAILED STEPS
Setting Up the Signalling and ILMI PVCsYou must set up the signalling permanent virtual circuit (PVC) and the PVC that will communicate with the ILMI on the major ATM interface of any router that participates in LANE. Complete this task only once for a major interface. You do not need to repeat this task on the same interface even though you might configure LESs and clients on several of its subinterfaces. To set up these PVCs, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode: DETAILED STEPS Displaying LANE Default AddressesYou can display the LANE default addresses to make configuration easier. Complete this task for each router that participates in LANE. This command displays default addresses for all ATM interfaces present on the router. Write down the displayed addresses on your worksheet. To display the default LANE addresses, use the following command in EXEC mode: Entering the LECS ATM Address on the Cisco SwitchYou must enter the LECS's ATM address into the Cisco LightStream 100 or Cisco Lightstream 1010 ATM switch and save it permanently so that the value is not lost when the switch is reset or powered off. You must specify the full 40-digit ATM address. Use the addresses on your worksheet that you obtained from the previous task. If you are configuring SSRP or Fast Simple Server Redundancy Protocol (FSSRP), enter the multiple LECS addresses into the end ATM switches. The switches are used as central locations for the list of LECS addresses. LANE components connected to the switches obtain the global list of LECS addresses from the switches.
Entering the ATM Addresses on the LightStream 1010 ATM SwitchOn the Cisco LightStream 1010 ATM switch, the LECS address can be specified for a port or for the entire switch. To enter the LECS addresses on the Cisco LightStream 1010 ATM switch for the entire switch, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode: DETAILED STEPS
2 Refer to the
LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference
for further information about this command.
Entering the ATM Addresses on the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Per PortTo enter the LECS addresses on the Cisco LightStream 1010 ATM switch per port, use the following commands beginning in interface configuration mode: DETAILED STEPS
3 Refer to the
LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference
for further information about this command.
Entering the ATM Addresses on the Cisco LightStream 100 ATM SwitchTo enter the LECS's ATM address into the Cisco LightStream 100 ATM switch and save it permanently, use the following commands in privileged EXEC mode: DETAILED STEPS
Setting Up the LECS DatabaseThe LECS's database contains information about each ELAN, including the ATM addresses of the LESs. You can specify one default ELAN in the database. The LECS will assign any client that does not request a specific ELAN to the default ELAN. Emulated LANs are either restricted or unrestricted. The LECS will assign a client to an unrestricted ELAN if the client specifies that particular ELAN in its configuration. However, the LECS will only assign a client to a restricted ELAN if the client is specified in the database of the LECS as belonging to that ELAN. The default ELAN must have unrestricted membership. If you are configuring fault tolerance, you can have any number of servers per ELAN. Priority is determined by entry order; the first entry has the highest priority, unless you override it with the index option.
Setting Up the Database for the Default ELAN OnlyWhen you configure a router as the LECS for one default ELAN, you provide a name for the database, the ATM address of the LES for the ELAN, and a default name for the ELAN. In addition, you indicate that the LECS's ATM address is to be computed automatically. When you configure a database with only a default unrestricted ELAN, you do not have to specify where the LANE clients are located. That is, when you set up the LECS's database for a single default ELAN, you do not have to provide any database entries that link the ATM addresses of any clients with the ELAN name. All of the clients will be assigned to the default ELAN. You can have any number of servers per ELAN for fault tolerance. Priority is determined by entry order. The first entry has the highest priority unless you override it with the index option. If you are setting up only a default ELAN, the elan-name value in Steps 2 and 3 is the same as the default ELAN name you provide in Step 4. To set up fault-tolerant operation, see the "Configuring Fault-Tolerant Operation" section later in this chapter. To set up the LECS for the default ELAN, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode: DETAILED STEPS
Setting Up the Database for Unrestricted-Membership Emulated LANsWhen you set up a database for unrestricted emulated LANs, you create database entries that link the name of each ELAN to the ATM address of its server. However, you may choose not to specify where the LANE clients are located. That is, when you set up the LECS's database, you do not have to provide any database entries that link the ATM addresses or MAC addresses of any clients with the ELAN name. The LECS will assign the clients to the emulated LANs specified in the client's configurations. To set up fault-tolerant operation, see the "Configuring Fault-Tolerant Operation" section later in this chapter. To configure a router as the LECS for multiple emulated LANs with unrestricted membership, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode: DETAILED STEPS
Setting Up the Database for Restricted-Membership LANsWhen you set up the database for restricted-membership emulated LANs, you create database entries that link the name of each ELAN to the ATM address of its server. However, you must also specify where the LANE clients are located. That is, for each restricted-membership ELAN, you provide a database entry that explicitly links the ATM address or MAC address of each client of that ELAN with the name of that ELAN. The client database entries specify which clients are allowed to join the ELAN. When a client requests to join an ELAN, the LECS consults its database and then assigns the client to the ELAN specified in the LECS's database. When clients for the same restricted-membership ELAN are located in multiple routers, each client's ATM address or MAC address must be linked explicitly with the name of the ELAN. As a result, you must configure as many client entries (at Steps 6 and 7, in the following procedure) as you have clients for emulated LANs in all the routers. Each client will have a different ATM address in the database entries. To set up fault-tolerant operation, see the "Configuring Fault-Tolerant Operation" section later in this chapter. To set up the LECS for emulated LANs with restricted membership, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode: DETAILED STEPS
Enabling the LECSOnce you have created the database, you can enable the LECS on the selected ATM interface and router by using the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
DETAILED STEPS Setting Up LESs and ClientsFor each router that will participate in LANE, set up the necessary servers and clients for each ELAN; then display and record the server and client ATM addresses. Be sure to keep track of the router interface where the LECS will eventually be located. You can set up servers for more than one ELAN on different subinterfaces or on the same interface of a router, or you can place the servers on different routers. When you set up a server and BUS on a router, you can combine them with a client on the same subinterface, a client on a different subinterface, or no client at all on the router. Where you put the clients is important because any router with clients for multiple emulated LANs can route frames between those emulated LANs. Depending on where your clients and servers are located, perform one of the following tasks for each LANE subinterface.
Setting Up the Server and BUS and ClientIf the ELAN in Step 3 is intended to have restrictedmembership, consider carefully whether you want to specify its name here. You will specify the name in the LECS's database when it is set up. However, if you link the client to an ELAN in this step, and through some mistake it does not match the database entry linking the client to an ELAN, this client will not be allowed to join this ELAN or any other. If you do decide to include the name of the ELAN linked to the client in Step 3 and later want to associate that client with a different ELAN, make the change in the LECS's database before you make the change for the client on this subinterface. Each ELAN is a separate subnetwork. In Step 4 make sure that the clients of the same ELAN are assigned protocol addresses on the same subnetwork and that clients of different emulated LANs are assigned protocol addresses on different subnetworks. To set up the server, BUS, and (optionally) clients for an ELAN, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode: DETAILED STEPS Setting Up Only a Client on a SubinterfaceOn any given router, you can set up one client for one ELAN or multiple clients for multiple emulated LANs. You can set up a client for a given ELAN on any routers you choose to participate in that ELAN. Any router with clients for multiple emulated LANs can route packets between those emulated LANs. You must first set up the signalling and ILMI PVCs on the major ATM interface, as described earlier in the "Setting Up the Signalling and ILMI PVCs" section, before you set up the client. Each ELAN is a separate subnetwork. In Step 2, make sure that the clients of the same ELAN are assigned protocol addresses on the same subnetwork and that clients of different emulated LANs are assigned protocol addresses on different subnetworks. To set up only a client for an emulated LANs, use the following commands beginning in interface configuration mode: DETAILED STEPS Disabling the FLUSH Process of LAN Emulation ClientsDisable the LE_FLUSH process and make the transition from using the BUS to using a data direct virtual channel connection (VCC). Disabling the LE_FLUSH process is recommended to prevent the initial packet drops during the establishment of LANE Direct VC. With the LE_FLUSH process disabled, LAN Emulation Clients (LECs) in the node will not send a flush request and will directly use a data direct VCC for data transfer.
To keep LECs from sending LE_FLUSH messages to the remote LEC, use the following command in interface configuration mode: Setting Up LANE Clients for MPOAFor Multiprotocol over ATM (MPOA) to work properly, a LANE client must have an ELAN ID for all ELANs represented by the LANE client.
For more information on configuring the MPOA client, refer to the "Configuring the Multiprotocol over ATM Client " chapter. To configure an ELAN ID, use one of the following commands in LANE database configuration mode or in interface configuration mode when starting up the LES for that ELAN:
Configuring Fault-Tolerant OperationThe LANE simple server redundancy feature creates fault tolerance using standard LANE protocols and mechanisms. If a failure occurs on the LECS or on the LES/BUS, the ELAN can continue to operate using the services of a backup LES. This protocol is called the SSRP. This section describes how to configure simple server redundancy for fault tolerance on an ELAN.
Simple Server Redundancy RequirementsFor simple LANE service replication or fault tolerance to work, the ATM switch must support multiple LES addresses. This mechanism is specified in the LANE standard. The LE servers establish and maintain a standard control circuit that enables the server redundancy to operate. LANE simple server redundancy is supported on Cisco IOS Release 11.2 and later. Older LANE configuration files continue to work with this new software. This redundancy feature works only with Cisco LECSs and LES/BUS combinations. Third-party LANE Clients can be used with the SSRP, but third-party configuration servers, LE servers, and BUS do not support SSRP. For server redundancy to work correctly:
The LANE protocol does not specify where any of the ELAN server entities should be located, but for the purpose of reliability and performance, Cisco implements these server components on its routers. Fast Simple Server Redundancy RequirementsFast Simple Server Replication Protocol (FSSRP) differs from LANE SSRP in that all configured LE servers of an ELAN are always active. FSSRP-enabled LANE clients have virtual circuits (VCs) established to a maximum of four LE servers and broadcast and unknown servers (BUSs) at one time. If a single LES goes down, the LANE client quickly switches over to the next LES and BUS resulting in no data or LE-ARP table entry loss and no extraneous signalling. Due to the increase in LAN client connections to all LE servers in an ELAN, FSSRP increases the number of VCs in your network. On a per client basis, up to 12 additional VCs will be added. These include the additional control direct, control distribute, multicast send and multicast forward VCs (times the 3 extra LE servers and BUSs), which totals 12 additional VCs. Users should take care to calculate whether or not the number of existing VCs in their network can be maintained with additional VC connections to the secondary LE servers and BUSs. A LANE client may connect to up to only 4 LE servers and BUSs at a time. Redundant Configuration ServersTo enable redundant LECSs, enter the multiple LECS addresses into the end ATM switches. LANE components can obtain the list of LECS addresses from the ATM switches through the Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI). Refer to the "Entering the LECS ATM Address on the Cisco Switch" section for more details. Redundant Servers and BUSsThe LECS turns on server/BUS redundancy by adjusting its database to accommodate multiple server ATM addresses for a particular ELAN. The additional servers serve as backup servers for that ELAN. To activate the feature, you add an entry for the hierarchical list of servers that will support the given ELAN. All database modifications for the ELAN must be identical on all LECSs. Refer to the "Setting Up the LECS Database" section for more details. Implementation ConsiderationsThe following is a list of LANE implementation restrictions:
SSRP Changes to Reduce Network FlapSSRP was originally designed so that when a higher LES came on line, all the LECs in that ELAN flipped over to the higher LES. This caused unnecessary disruptions in large networks. Now SSRP is designed to eliminate unnecessary flapping. If the current LES is healthy, the flapping can be eliminated by changing the SSRP behavior so that the ELAN does not flip over to another LES. Obviously, if the currently active LES goes down, all the LECs will then be switched over to the first available highest LES in the list. This is now the default behavior. If ELANs are now configured in the new way, an LECS switchover may or may not cause a network flap depending on how quickly each LES now reconnects to the new master LECS. If the old active LES connects first, the flap will not occur. However, if another LES connects first (since now the criteria is that the first connected LES is assumed the master LES, rather than the highest ranking one), then the network will still flap. For customers who would specifically like to maintain the old SSRP behavior, they can use the new LECS name elan-name preemptLANE database configuration command.This command will force the old behavior to be maintained. This feature can be enabled/disabled on a per individual ELAN basis from the LECS database. In the older scheme (preempt), the LES switchover caused network flap. To enable network flap and set the ELAN preempt for a LES, use the following command in LANE database configuration mode: Monitoring and Maintaining the LANE ComponentsAfter configuring LANE components on an interface or any of its subinterfaces, on a specified subinterface, or on an ELAN, you can display their status. To show LANE information, use the following commands in EXEC mode: LANE Configuration ExamplesAll examples use the automatic ATM address assignment method described in the "Method of Automatically Assigning ATM Addresses" section earlier in this chapter. These examples show the LANE configurations, not the process of determining the ATM addresses and entering them.
Single Ethernet ELAN ExampleThe following example configures four Cisco 7500 series routers for one Ethernet ELAN. Router 1 contains the LECS, the server, the BUS, and a client. The remaining routers each contain a client for the ELAN. This example accepts all default settings that are provided. For example, it does not explicitly set ATM addresses for the different LANE components that are collocated on the router. Membership in this LAN is not restricted.

The same components are assigned to the four routers as in the previous example. The ATM address prefixes and MAC addresses are also the same as in the previous example. However, this example restricts membership for the Engineering and Marketing emulated LANs. The LECS's database has explicit entries binding the ATM addresses of LANE clients to specified, named emulated LANs. In such cases, the client requests information from the LECS about which ELAN it should join; the LECS checks its database and replies to the client. Since the Manufacturing ELAN is unrestricted, any client not in the LECS's database is allowed to join it. Router 1 ConfigurationRouter 1 has the LECS and its database, the server and BUS for the Manufacturing ELAN, the server and BUS for the Engineering ELAN, a client for Manufacturing, and a client for Engineering. It also has explicit database entries binding the ATM addresses of LANE clients to specified, named emulated LANs. Router 1 is configured as shown here: !
