5.3Configuring EoA Interfaces

This section describes how to configure an Ethernet-over-ATM interface on the HM210dp/di, if one is needed to communicate with your ISP.

The Ethernet-over-ATM (EoA) protocol is often referred to as RFC1483, which is the Internet specification that defines it. It is commonly used to carry data between local area networks that use the Ethernet protocol and wide-area networks that use the ATM protocol. Many telecommunications industry networks use the ATM protocol. ISPs who provide DSL services often use the EoA protocol for data transfer with their customers’ DSL modems.

EoA can be implemented to provide a bridged connection between a DSL modem and the ISP. In a bridged connection, data is shared between the ISP’s network and their customer’s as if the networks were on the same physical LAN. Bridged connections do not use the IP protocol. EoA can also be configured to provide a routed connection with the ISP, which uses the IP protocol to exchange data.

Before creating an EoA interface or modifying the default settings, contact your ISP to determine which type of protocol they use.

5.3.1Adding EoA Interfaces

Follow these instructions to add an EoA interface:

1.Select WAN > EoA to display the RFC1483/Ethernet over ATM(EoA) Configuration page.
