Where You Should End Up—Verification
Configuring and Monitoring LANE Services
As the network administrator, you were notified that the company will be expanding to include two new buildings. These buildings will house additional engineers and other employees that the company plans on hiring.
Your current network configuration consists of two segments. On each segment, a VLAN exists for the Marketing department, called VLAN2. Both segments belong to the same VTP domain, called "San Jose." See Figure 13-1 for deails.
Note
The network design used in this scenario is intended to illustrate how to use Campus applications to manage your network. It is not a guideline for designing your network. For instructions on designing networks, consult the network design guidelines.
Figure 13-1 Current Network Configuration with San Jose VTP Domain
In this scenario, you want to connect these VLANs through the ATM cloud called fabric-2 by creating an ATM VLAN. To do this, see these sections:
•
What You Need—Prerequisites
Before beginning, make sure you do the following:
1.
3.
4.
In this scenario, you will use the following applications:
•
•
Understand Required LANE Components
Before beginning, make sure you understand the components required for LANE to function:
•
•
•
See the "LANE Components" section for detailed information about these components and their requirements.
Prepare the ATM Devices
To prepare the ATM devices in fabric-2 for LANE:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
The ANI Server requires SNMP and ILMI for proper discovery of ATM devices. If the ATM devices do not appear on the topology view, you may need to increase the SNMP timeout values. Do not increase the SNMP timeout for all devices because the discovery process will take much longer. For more information about increasing the SNMP timeout, refer to User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services.

Create a Master LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS)
If the ATM Domain does not already have a master LECS, you must create one. To do so, perform the following steps:
Step 1
LANE Management... > Configure Config Server....The Configure the Config Server window appears.
Step 2
Topology Services displays the host name and module/port number of the best candidate for the LECS as the default entry in the Device column. You can accept this choice or click on the device to select another device.
Notice that the Oper Status (operating status) column shows Not Configured. This means that the LECS has not been configured. Once you click Apply, the configuration will be updated on the switch and the status will change to Configured.
Step 3
Step 4
Create a Backup LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS)
If a master LECS already exists, you can add a backup LECS by performing the following steps:
Step 1
Configure Config Server... .Step 2
The Master State column should show the state of the master LECS as Active/Master and the Oper Status should show Configured.
Step 3
Another row is added. Notice that the domain name is the same as the domain you selected.Topology Services displays the host name and module/port number of the best candidate for the backup LECS as the default entry in the Device column. You can accept this choice or click on the device to select another device.
Step 4
Notice that the Oper Status (operating status) column shows Inactive/Backup. This means that the LECS has not been configured yet. After the configuration is updated on the switch, the status will change to Active/Backup.
How to Do It—Procedure
Before creating an ATM-VLAN, make sure you have at least one LECS in the ATM domain. See the "Prepare the ATM Devices" section.
See the procedures to create an ATM-VLAN:
1.
2.
Create an LE/Broadcast Server
Because you have already created VLAN 2 on each segment in your network, you need to add the LE/Broadcast server capability to the VLAN to extend the VLAN across the ATM network.
To create an LE/Broadcast server for VLAN 2:
Step 1
Step 2
See Table 13-1 for help filling in the required information.
Step 3
Topology Services displays the host name and module/port number of the best candidate for the LE/Broadcast server as the default entry in the Device column. You can accept this choice or click on the device to select another device.
Step 4
The LE/Broadcast server is added to the ATM-VLAN, and its operating status changes to Configured.
Step 5
Another row is added. Notice that the domain name is the same as the domain you selected. Topology Services displays the host name and module/port number of the best candidate for the backup LE/Broadcast server as the default entry in the Device column. You can accept this choice or click on another device.
Step 6
Notice that the Oper Status (operational status) column shows Not Configured. This means that the backup LE/Broadcast server has not been configured yet. After the configuration is updated on the switch, the status will change to Configured and the Master State column will show Inactive/Backup.
After creating a new LE Broadcast Server, an entry for a standalone ATM VLAN will immediately appear in the Standalone ATM VLANs folder inside the appropriate ATM domain in the ATM Domains folder.
To see the appropriate hybrid ATM VLAN entry for the VLAN (under the appropriate VTP domain) for which the LE Broadcast Server was created, you must first create a LAN Emulation Client for the new ATM VLAN and rediscover your network.
Create LAN Emulation Clients (LECs)
You must create an LEC on each required ATM device that will participate in the ATM-VLAN and map the VLAN to the ATM VLAN across the ATM interfaces (LECs).
Campus does not support these functions. You can do this in three ways:
•
•
•
See the device Command Reference or Configuration guide for more information about how to do this.
Rediscover the Network
If you want to view the changes you have made to your network before the next automatically scheduled discovery cycle, perform a manual discovery that is limited to the desired ATM domain.
To rediscover the ATM domain, perform these steps:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
The ANI Server begins rediscovering only those devices that you have selected (those in the fabric-2 ATM domain).
Where You Should End Up—Verification
You have configured LANE components to your network and have added LANE capability to VLAN 2. Now you need to make sure that they are correctly configured and that the switches are operational (green icon on the topology view).
To check this, display the LANE components in your network:
Step 1
VTP Domains > San Jos > VLAN 2.A cloud icon will have been added to the name. This denotes that the VLAN is now an ATM-VLAN.
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
You can verify the LE Clients, and LE/B'cast details in the ATM-VLAN in a tabbed page under the Summary window.
