Mapped Interfaces

Use this page to re-direct ATM traffic to a specific Ethernet or wireless port, or a group of ports. An application such as multicast streaming of video data to set-top boxes requires this interface. Do not create a bridge group without dedicated ATM service from your Internet Service Provider.

You would use this feature if you have at least one Bridge-mode PVC that you want to map to a particular Ethernet port and a second PVC (PPP, IPoA, or MER type) that will be mapped to the remaining Ethernet port(s). For example, you could use the bridge PVC for video streaming and a second PVC, with the firewall and NAT supported, for regular data transfer and Internet traffic. Check with your Internet Service Provider to see if they would support this.
