LANE consists of several logical components, each configured on a router, switch, or an ATM switch:
- - LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS)— The central administrative control point for all ELANs in a domain. The LECS keeps a database of ELANs and the ATM addresses of the LANE servers that control each ELAN. (Each administrative domain has only one LECS.)
- - LAN Emulation Server (LES)— The central control point for all LANE Clients ...
