Defining LEC Service
To define a LAN emulation client (LEC) service record, navigate to the ATM
interface prompt and enter:
lec-service
<service_name>
encapsulation
<encapsulation_type>
service_name
is a unique text string that you assign to the service record.
encapsulation_type
is the data encapsulation type that you want the LEC service
record to use.
For example, the following command defines a LEC service record with the name
“newyork” on ATM slot 5, connector 1:
atm/5/1# lec-service newyork encapsulation lec
lec-service/newyork#
Adding PVCs
You must add at least one PVC to a PVC service record for that service record to
operate. A PVC is defined by its VPI/VCI pair.
A virtual path is a set of virtual channels between a common source and
destination. The virtual channels within a virtual path logically associate with a
common identifier. This identifier is called the virtual path identifier (VPI) and is
part of the cell header.
A virtual channel is a logical connection between two communicating ATM
entities. Each virtual channel can carry a different protocol or traffic type. The
virtual channel transports cells that have a common identifier. The identifier is
called the virtual channel identifier (VCI) and is part of the cell header.
Note:
ATM does not allow duplicate VPI/VCI pairs on the same physical
interface (that is, on the same link module). However, duplicate VPI/VCI pairs
can exist on different physical interfaces (that is, on different link modules).
