Example: Configuring MX Series Router ATM Ethernet Interworking

Consider the router topology shown in Figure 1. The MX Series router is configured as the Router PE2 (the provider edge 2 router) in the figure to support the ATM Ethernet IWF.

Figure 1: ATM Ethernet VLAN Interworking

ATM Ethernet VLAN Interworking

The relevant router interfaces are as follows:

  • On Router CE1, the CE1–PE1 interface is at-2/0/0 with IP address 30.1.1.1/24.

  • On Router PE1:

    • The PE1–CE1 interface is at-2/0/1 with no IP address required.
    • The PE1–PE2 interface is ge-5/0/0 with IP address 20.1.1.1/24.

  • On Router PE2:

    • The PE2–CE2 interface is ge-0/2/0 with no IP address required.
    • The PE2–PE1 interface is ge-0/2/8 with IP address 20.1.1.10/24.
  • On Router CE2 interface is ge-0/0/0 with IP address 30.1.1.10/24.

Note: The example configurations in this section are not complete configurations.

Consider the following example MX Series router configurations.
