The -auto flag is used to delete an Automatic ELAN that was specified by -auto
flag during the add operation. Used with the -lecs flag, remove the current LECS
from the configuration. A LECS may be deleted only if no ELANs are currently
configured from that LECS.
set -lecs
If the single argument,
ATMaddress
is used, set the ATM address of the LECS to
ATMaddress
and mark this LECS as current. If another set command is invoked
with a different LECS address, this LECS is now marked as current. The add and
delete commands may only be applied to ELANs returned by the current LECS.
The -manual flag places the host in a manual configuration mode; configuration
information will not be retrieved from the LECS and the addition of ELANs will
require the user to set the LES address.
wait
The wait command waits until all ELAN interfaces are ready, or until the number
of seconds specified by
maxSeconds
have elapsed, whichever occurs first. If
maxSeconds
is not specified, then the default is 60 seconds. The elconfig wait
command should be put in the /etc/rc file after the last ifconfig command so
that subsequent commands that depend on the ELAN interfaces do not fail.
When the filer is booted, the ELAN interfaces may not become ready immedi-
ately after the ifconfig command has been issued because it may take several
seconds for the filer and ATM switch to complete the initialization required by the
UNI signalling, ILMI, and LANE protocols.
NOTES
The -unit flag is mandatory if there is more than one adapter installed.
RESTRICTIONS
The interface associated with an ELAN must first be configured "down" through
ifconfig(1)
before deleting the ELAN. If the user attempts to delete an ELAN that
is "up", the message ',50% will be displayed.
CLUSTER CONSIDERATIONS
In takeover mode, the ELAN interface names and unit numbers are those on the
live filer, and in partner mode the interface names and unit numbers are those on
the failed filer. Only ELANs associated with the live or failed filer are shown,
depending on the current host mode.
