John,

I thought in the same way as Kenny, you shouldn't need the LECS if you
specify the addresses for LES BUS and LEC.

Perhaps there is some issue in Cisco implementation because of
configuring in the same subinterface the Lane Server and the client and
not using LECS.

In the original post from Matt, everithing seems Ok, and it must work:

I only are confused about:

>>LE Server ATM0.3, Elan name: elan3, Admin: up, State: operational
>>Master/Backup: Backup, Type: ethernet, Max Frame Size: 1516
>>locally set elan-id: not set
>>elan-id obtained from LECS: not set
>>ATM address: 47.0091810000000050E2058501.00000C34B43B.03
>>LECS used: 47.007900000000000000000000.00A03E000001.00 NOT yet connected

LECS used is LECs ATM well-known address, and I'm not sure if The LES
is fully operational without its VC connection with the LECS.

Also we have that "Master/Backup: Backup", perhaps there is another LES
for this ELAN?????, or when you have no LECS, the LES because of
the Cisco SSRP thinks that it is the Server Backup for the ELAN.

In the proof that Kenny sends we only see the LE Client, and I'm almost sure
that the problen is in the server.
