Conﬁguring the Acip

Configuring the ACIP

Conﬁguring the ACIP is a two step process: ﬁrst you conﬁgure the ACIP, then you conﬁgure the cable headend and/or ATM switch. To conﬁgure ATM, complete the following tasks. The ﬁrst two tasks are required, and then you must conﬁgure at least one PVC or SVC. The VC options you conﬁgure must match in three places: on the router, on the ATM switch, and at the remote end of the PVC or SVC connection.

•

Enable the ACIP.

Conﬁgure cable parameters.

Monitor and maintain the ATM interface (optional).

Note To conﬁgure your TeraLink 1000 cable headend and/or ATM switch, refer to the appropriate product’s user documentation.

Perform the tasks in the following sections to conﬁgure the ACIP interface (all tasks are required except for the last task):

•

Conﬁgure an ACIP Interface, page 22

Conﬁgure Cable Parameters, page 23

Conﬁgure the Integrated Routing and Bridging Feature, page 23

Conﬁgure the Bridge-Group Virtual Interface, page 23

Conﬁgure Protocols for Routing or Bridging, page 24

Monitor and Maintain the ACIP, page 25

Note After you conﬁgure the ACIP, you must conﬁgure the cable headend and/or ATM switch.

For information on additional commands that can be used with the ACIP, refer to the Cisco IOS Release 11.2(7)P feature guide. For an example ACIP conﬁguration, refer to the section “Conﬁguration Example” on page 25.
