Configuring LECs on ATM Router Module Interfaces (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

Note

The procedures for configuring LANE clients (LECs) on the ATM router module are the same as for the configuration of LECs on the route processor, with one exception: To specify an ATM router module interface, rather than the route processor interface, use the interface atm card/subcard/port command. On the route processor, you would use the interface atm 0 command.

To route traffic between an emulated LAN and a Fast Ethernet (FE) or Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface, you must configure the LEC on an ATM router module interface rather than a route processor interface.

An ATM router module interface can be configured for either LECs or RFC 1483 PVCs, not both. For both features to operate on the same ATM router module, configure LECs on one interface and RFC 1483 PVCs on the other.

LANE clients are not supported on the Catalyst 8540 MSR enhanced ATM router module.

To configure a LEC on an ATM router module interface, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

Switch(config)# interface atm

Creates the ATM router module

 

card/subcard/port.subinterface# multipoint

point-to-multipoint subinterface and enters

 

Switch(config-subif)#

subinterface mode.

 

 

 

 

Note The ATM router module only supports

 

 

point-to-multipoint subinterfaces.

Step 2

 

 

Switch(config-subif)# ip address ip-address mask

Provides a protocol address and subnet mask for

 

 

the client on this subinterface.

Step 3

 

 

Switch(config-subif)# lane client ethernet

Enables a LANE client for an emulated LAN.
