lane fixed-config-atm-address

To specify that the fixed configuration server ATM address assigned by the ATM Forum will be used, use the lane fixed-config-atm-address interface configuration command. To specify that the fixed ATM address is not used, use the no form of this command.

lane [config] fixed-config-atm-address

no lane [config] fixed-config-atm-address

Default

No specific ATM address or method is set.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

When the config keyword is not present, this command causes the LANE server and LANE client on the subinterface to use that ATM address, rather than the ATM address provided by the ILMI, to locate the configuration server.

When the config keyword is present, and the LECS is already up and running, be aware of the following scenarios:

• If you configure the LECS with only the well-known address, the LECS will not participate in the SSRP, act as a "standalone" master, and only listen on the well-known LECS address. This scenario is ideal if you want a standalone LECS that does not participate in SSRP, and you would like to listen to only the well-known address.

• If only the well-known address is already assigned, and you assign at least one other address to the LECS, (additional addresses are assigned using the lane config auto-config-atm-address command and/or the lane config config-atm-address command) the LECS will participate in the SSRP and act as the master or slave based on the normal SSRP rules. This scenario is ideal if you would like the LECS to participate in SSRP, and you would like to make the master LECS listen on the well-known address.

• If the LECS is participating in SSRP, has more than one address (one of which is the well-known address), and all the addresses but the well-known address is removed, the LECS will declare itself the master and stop participating in SSRP completely.

• If the LECS is operating as an SSRP slave, and it has the well-known address configured, it will not listen on the well-known address unless it becomes the master.

• If you want the LECS to assume the well-known address only when it becomes the master, configure the LECS with the well-known address and at least one other address.

When you use this command with the config keyword, and the LECS is a master, the master will listen on the fixed address. If you use this command when an LECS is not a master, the LECS will listen on this address when it becomes a master. If you do not use this command, the LECS will not listen on the fixed address.

Multiple commands that assign ATM addresses to the LECS can be issued on the same interface in order to assign different ATM addresses to the LECS. Commands that assign ATM addresses to the LECS include lane auto-config-atm-address, lane config-atm-address, and lane fixed-config-atm- address. The lane config database command and at least one command that assigns an ATM address to the LECS are required to activate a LECS.

Examples

The following example associates the LANE configuration server with the database named network1 and specifies that the configuration server's ATM address is the fixed address:

lane database network1
 name eng server-atm-address 39.020304050607080910111213.0800.AA00.1001.02
 name mkt server-atm-address 39.020304050607080910111213.0800.AA00.4001.01
interface atm 1/0
 lane config database network1
 lane config fixed-config-atm-address

The following example causes the LANE server and LANE client on the subinterface to use the fixed ATM address to communicate with the configuration server:

interface atm 2/0.1
 ip address 172.16.0.4 255.255.255.0
 lane client ethernet
 lane server-bus ethernet eng
 lane fixed-config-atm-address
