LLC/SNAP only

-no bridging PDUs

-no CRCs

-no ARP

-discard broadcast frames

-discard multi-cast frames

-discard PDUs without XSR’s MAC

The limitations of this configuration are as follows:

Maximum MTU of 1492 bytes

ARP is not supported

Other received bridged PDU types are silently discarded (802.4, 802.5, 802.6, FDDI)

Does not send (PID type 0x00-01) and ignores received (PID type 0x00-01) LAN FCSs

Spanning tree protocols are not supported

Any received PDU which does not specify the XSR’s MAC address are silently discarded

The access concentrator must be configured with bridging and ATM ILMI disabled

ATM SVCs are not supported

Routed IP over ATM

The XSR’s Routed IP over ATM (IPoA) method, as shown in Figure 13-4, supports the following subset of RFC-2684 as it relates to Routed IP PDUs:

LLC encapsulated routed non-NLPID formatted IP version 4 PDUs over ATM PVCs

Non-encapsulated routed IP v4 PDUs over ATM PVCs (virtual circuit multiplexing mode)

Statically configured IP address

IPoA is invoked by the encapsulation ipoa command.

Note: Your choosing the correct encapsulation method depends on the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) support offered by your DSL provider.
