852.0. "" by TAV02::YAIR (Yair Tsoran, Israel, DTN 882-3094) Wed Mar 05 1997 05:44

I know LAN Emulation V2.0 is not official standard yet, but most of our
competitors already have it. As stated in previous note, LES/LECS/BUS redandency
becomes mandatory in a lot of RFPs. We can't offer GIGAswitch/ATM until we'll
have that feature.

What are our plans in this issue?

Thanks,
Yair

852.1How about LECS redundancy?NPSS::NEWTONThomas NewtonWed Mar 05 1997 07:2211
The next major baseline we ship - Version 2.5 - will not have support for LAN
Emulation v2.0.

It will support the ILMI Service Registry MIB.  This will let you set up each
switch to advertise both the address of its own LECS and the addresses of all
the other LECSes.  If you then manually replicate the ELAN database among all
the LECSes, this will give you a form of redundancy.

I don't know enough about our plans for Version 3.0 to give you an indication
about it.

    V2.5 - April 1997 should have Redundant LANE servers
           based on LANE V1 (so it's proprietary like any other
           implementation of our competition)
