To add a LANE client address entry to the configuration server's configuration database, use the client-atm-address database configuration command. To remove a client address entry from the table, use the no form of this command.
client-atm-address atm-address-template name elan-name
no client-atm-address atm-address-template
atm-address-template Template that explicitly specifies an ATM address or a specific part of an ATM address and uses wildcard characters for other parts of the ATM address, making it easy and convenient to specify multiple addresses matching the explicitly specified part.
Wildcard characters can replace any nibble or group of nibbles in the prefix, the end-system identifier (ESI), or the selector fields of the ATM address.
elan-name Name of the emulated LAN. Maximum length is 32 characters.
No address and no emulated LAN name are provided.
Database configuration
| Release | Modification | 11.0 | This command was introduced. |

The effect of this command is to bind any client whose address matches the specified template into the specified emulated LAN. When a client comes up, it consults the LANE configuration server, which responds with the ATM address of the LANE server for the emulated LAN. The client then initiates join procedures with the LANE server.
Before this command is used, the emulated LAN specified by the elan-name argument must have been created in the configuration server's database by use of the name server-atm-address command.
If an existing entry in the configuration server's database binds the LANE client ATM address to a different emulated LAN, the new command is rejected.
This command affects only the bindings in the named configuration server database. It has no effect on the LANE components themselves.
See the lane database command for information about creating the database, and the nameserver-atm-address command for information about binding the emulated LAN's name to the server's ATM address.
The client-atm-address name command is a subcommand of the global lane database command.
A LANE ATM address has the same syntax as a network service access point (NSAP) but it is not a network-level address. It consists of the following:
LANE ATM address templates can use two types of wildcards: 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 prefixtemplate explicitly matches the prefix but uses wildcards for the ESI and selector fields. An ESItemplate explicitly matches the ESI field but uses wildcards for the prefix and selector.
In our 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.
The following example uses an ESI template to specify the part of the ATM address corresponding to the interface. This example allows any client on any subinterface of the interface that corresponds to the displayed ESI value, no matter which switch the router is connected to, to join the engineeringemulated LAN:
client-atm-address ...0800.200C.1001.** name engineering
The following example uses a prefix template to specify the part of the ATM address corresponding to the switch. This example allows any client on a subinterface of any interface connected to the switch that corresponds to the displayed prefix to join the marketing emulated LAN:
client-atm-address 47.000014155551212f.00.00... name marketing
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| default-name | Provides an ELAN name in the database of the configuration server for those client MAC addresses and client ATM addresses that do not have explicit ELAN name bindings. |
| lane database | Creates a named configuration database that can be associated with a configuration server. |
| mac-address | Sets the MAC layer address of the Cisco Token Ring. |
| name server-atm-address | Specifies or replaces the ATM address of the LANE server for the ELAN in the configuration database of the configuration server. |
