ATM-over-ADSL Overview

J4300 and J6300 Services Routers with asymmetrical DSL (ADSL) Annex A or Annex B PIMs can use an ATM interface to send network traffic through a point-to-point connection to a DSLAM. ATM-over-ADSL interfaces are not supported on J2300 Services Routers.

Note: You can configure J4300 and J6300 Services Routers with ADSL PIMs for connections through DSL only, not for direct ATM connections.

You configure the underlying ADSL as an ATM interface with an interface name of at-pim/0/port. Multiple encapsulation types are supported on both the physical and logical ATM-over-ADSL interface.

You can configure Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) over ATM to connect through DSL lines. For PPPoE on an ATM-over-ADSL interface, you must configure encapsulation on both the physical and logical interfaces. To configure encapsulation on an ATM-over-ADSL physical interface, use Ethernet over ATM encapsulation. To configure encapsulation on an ATM-over-ADSL logical interface, use the PPPoE over AAL5 LLC encapsulation. LLC encapsulation allows a single ATM virtual connection to transport multiple protocols.

Note: PPPoE encapsulation is not supported on an M120 router with ATM2 PICs.

When you configure a point-to-point encapsulation such as PPP on a physical interface, the physical interface can have only one logical interface (only one unit statement) associated with it.

For more information about configuring PPPoE, see Configuring PPPoE.
