lane client-atm-address
To specify an ATM address—and thus, override the automatic ATM address assignment—for the LANE client on the specified subinterface, use the lane client-atm-address interface configuration command. To remove the ATM address previously specified for the LANE client on the specified subinterface, and thus, revert to the automatic address assignment, use the no form of this command.
lane client-atm-address atm-address-template
no client-atm-address [atm-address-template]
| Syntax | Description |
|---|---|
| atm-address-template | ATM address or a template in which wildcard characters are replaced by any nibble or group of nibbles of the prefix bytes, the ESI bytes, or the selector byte of the automatically assigned ATM address. |
Default
Automatic ATM address assignment.
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.
Use of this command on a selected subinterface, but with a different ATM address than was used previously, replaces the LANE client's ATM address.
ATM Addresses. A LANE ATM address has the same syntax as an NSAP (but it is not a network level address). It consists of the following:
A 13-byte prefix that includes the following fields defined by the ATM Forum:
AFI field (1byte)
DCC or ICD field (2bytes)
DFI field (1 byte)
Administrative Authority field (3bytes)
Reserved field (2bytes)
Routing Domain field (2bytes)
Area field (2bytes)
A 6-byte ESI
A 1-byte selector field
Address Templates. LANE ATM address templates can use two types of wildcard characters: an asterisk (*) to match any single character (nibble), and an ellipsis (…) to match any number of leading, middle, or trailing characters. The values of the characters replaced by wildcards come from the automatically assigned ATM address.
In LANE, a prefix template explicitly matches the ATM address 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.
In Cisco's implementation of LANE, the prefix corresponds to the switch, the ESI corresponds to the ATM interface, and the selector field corresponds to the specific subinterface of the interface.
For a discussion of Cisco's method of automatically assigning ATM addresses, refer to Chapter 21, "Configuring LAN Emulation."
Examples
The following example uses an ESI template to specify the part of the ATM address corresponding to the interface; the remaining parts of the ATM address come from automatic assignment:
lane client-atm-address…0800.200C.1001.**
The following example uses a prefix template to specify the part of the ATM address corresponding to the switch; the remaining parts of the ATM address come from automatic assignment:
lane client-atm-address 47.000014155551212f.00.00…
