CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE

 Setting Up RFC1483 Bridging

Configuration Description

When you use RFC1483 bridging, Ethernet frames bridge over the ATM virtual circuit. This circuit connects the router to the Internet Service Provider (ISP). The router operates in Bridge Mode, and only passes Ethernet packets between the ISP and local network. The ISP may choose to statically or dynamically assign IP addresses to local network nodes. If the ISP employs dynamic assignment, a DHCP server in the ISP’s network assigns addresses.

Setup

  1. Open the SureConnect Web User Interface (WUI). This example employs the Web User Interface. You can set up the Network Model with any of the router's three interfaces. The other two interfaces are the Terminal User Interface (TUI) and the Command-Line Interface (CLI). In any case, succeeding steps are similar.

  2. Click the Service Provider Settings tab. This tab is on the top of the screen. The Service Provider Settings Window opens.

  3. Click ADSL Standard. The ADSL Standard Window opens.



  4. Select the ADSL protocol that you’ll use. For most users, Multi Mode is the right choice.

  5. Click Apply.

  6. Click WAN Setup. The WAN Setup Window opens.



  7. Below the Add button, notice the Current ATM PVC List. On this list, select any PVC that you don’t need.

  8. Click Delete.

  9. Click RFC1483 Bridged.

  10. Enter VPI and VCI values.

  11. Select your desired encapsulation mode. Your choices are: LLC/SNAP and VC Multiplexing.

  12. At Network Settings, be sure that Enable NAPT and Enable DHCP remain unselected.

  13. Click Add.

  14. Click the Tools tab at the top of the window.

CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE

 Setting Up MER

 

Configuration Description

When you use MAC Encapsulated Routing (MER), Ethernet frames bridge over the ATM Virtual Circuit. The router can still perform IP routing with Network Address Translation (NAT) for the LAN. To perform this NAT function, the router requires a static IP address for its MER interface. Your ISP must supply the address. The router also supports dynamic assignment of IP addresses to local network nodes. When using dynamic assignment, the router acts as a DHCP server.

Setup

  1. Open the SureConnect Web User Interface (WUI). This example employs the Web User Interface. You can set up the Network Model with any of the router's three interfaces. The other two interfaces are the Terminal User Interface (TUI) and the Command-Line Interface (CLI). In any case, succeeding steps are similar.
