Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) When the CGMP-capable = > router receives an IGMP control packet, it creates a CGMP packet that = > contains the request type (either join or leave), the multicast group = > address, and the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the host. The = > router sends the CGMP packet to a well-known address to which all = > Catalyst 5000 series switches listen. When a switch receives the CGMP = > packet, the supervisor engine module interprets the packet and modifies = > the forwarding table automatically CGMP requires Catalyst 5000 series = > software release 2.2 or later and a network connection from the = > Catalyst 5000 series switch to a router running CGMP. By default, CGMP = > is disabled, and no multicast routers are configured. Before you enable = > CGMP on a Catalyst 5000 series switch, you must disable IGMP snooping = > if it is enabled, by entering the set igmp disable command. If you try = > to enable CGMP without first disabling IGMP snooping, an error message = > is generated. > 7.. LANE: LAN Emulation Client (LEC) LAN emulation client (LEC)-End = > systems that support LANE, such as network interface = > card(NIC)-connected workstations, LAN switches with ATM uplinks (for = > example, the Catalyst family of switches), and Cisco 7500, 7000, 4500, = > and 4000 series routers that support ATM attachment, all require the = > implementation of a LEC. The LEC emulates an interface to a legacy LAN = > to the higher-level protocols. It performs data forwarding, address = > resolution, and registration of MAC addresses with the LANE server and = > communicates with other LECs via ATM virtual channel connections (VCCs). = > > 8.. LAN Emulation Server (LES) LAN emulation configuration server = > (LECS)-The LECS maintains a database of ELANs and the ATM addresses of = > the LESs that control the ELANs. It accepts queries from LECs and = > responds with the ATM address of the LES that serves the appropriate = > ELAN/VLAN. This database is defined and maintained by the network = > administrator. > 9.. Broadcast and Unknown Server (BUS) Broadcast and unknown server = > (BUS)-The BUS acts as a central point for distributing broadcasts and = > multicasts. ATM is essentially a point-to-point technology without = > "any-to-any"or "broadcast" support. LANE solves this problem by = > centralizing the broadcast support in theBUS. Each LEC must set up a = > Multicast Send VCC to the BUS. The BUS then adds the LEC as a leaf to = > its point-to-multipoint VCC (known as the Multicast Forward VCC). The = > BUS also acts as a multicast server. LANE is defined on ATM adaptation = > layer 5 (AAL5), which specifies a simple trailer to be appended to a = > frame before it is broken into ATMcells. The problem is that there is no = > way to differentiate between ATM cells from different senders when = > multiplexed on a virtual channel. It is assumed that cells received will = > be in sequence, and whe the End of Message (EOM) cell arrives, you = > should just have to reassemble all of the cells that have already = > arrived. The BUS takes the sequence of cells on each Multicast Send VCC = > and reassembles them into frames. When a full frame is received, it is = > queued for sending to all of the LECs on the Multicast Forward VCC. This = > way, all the cells from a particular data frame can be guaranteed to be = > sent in order and not interleaved with cells from any other data frames = > on the point-to-multipoint VCC. > 10.. LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS) LAN emulation server = > (LES)-The LES provides a central control point for all LECs. LECs = > maintain a Control Direct VCC to the LES to forward registration and = > control information. The LES maintains a point-to-multipoint VCC, known = > as the Control Distribute VCC, to all LECs. The Control Distribute VDD = > is used only to forward control information. As new LECs join the ATM = > ELAN, each LEC is added as a leaf to the control distribute tree. > 12.
