I have a customer that is trying to connect Alpha Digital Unix with ATMworks 350 to FORE systems ASX200 switch in LANE. The LES and the BUS on the FORE switch are configured on the same ATM address (the same selector byte). When trying to set up the LANE in DU, it finds the LES, but the BUS address stays zero. "atmelan show" shows that it's in state "WAIT_JOIN". The Alpha fails to register as LEC in the LES (LEC ID zero). Any help? Thanks, Yair

The DIGITAL UNIX LANE code doesn't currently support "combined" LES and
BUS. The only workaround is to configure the LES and BUS on different
selectors.

In IBM switches, the default LANE setup is the same selector byte for LES and
BUS. Since there's IBM mainframe around, they set the FORE switch as the IBM
expected. SUN's LANE setup support this. I think we should support "combined"
LES and BUS for interoperability reasons.
