E-6 Administration Guide
Protocols
ATM Protocols: ATM Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaption Layer 5 (RFC 1483): Logical Link
Control (LLC) encapsulation routed modes
Support for up to 8 ATM PVCs and 16 Frame Relay PVCs
PPP Over ATM, PPP over Ethernet: PAP, CHAP or no authentication (RFC 2364). Compression Control
Protocol (RFC 1974)
Frame Relay Supports: ANSI T1.617 and ANSI T1.618 Annex D LMI, Annex A and Cisco LMI, (RFC 1490)
multiprotocol Interconnect over Frame Relay. FRF.12 Fragmentation.
Compression: IP Control Protocol (RFC 1332), PPP Stac LZS Compression Protocol (RFC 1974), Ascend
LZS Compression Protocol, Van Jacobson Header Compression
Virtual Circuit: Terminates ATM Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) with ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5); Allows
manual configuration of Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI). Suppor ts Multiple
PVCs, and multiple VCI/VPI support.
Routing: Transmit and Receive RIPV1 and RIPV2 (RFC 2453) and RIPV1 compatibility mode, up to 32 static
routes with default route and the option to not advertise routes, configurable with up to 8 subnets on LAN
with DHCP pool associated with each subnet
IP Addressing: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and BootP servers. Supports up to 8 dif ferent
pools of IP addresses (one per subnet) with a maximum of 512 addresses.
WAN IP Interface: Numbered or Unnumbered Interface
Quality of service
TOS Bit Type of Service or application based queuing.
Frame Relay: FRF.12 support
ATM: UBR, CBR, VBR-rt support
Management
(with G.HSDSLAMs): Automatically hunts through available speed modes until successfully trains at the
speed set by remote DSL concentrator
Management Security: Password-protected with up to 4 user names and passwords
LEDs: Diagnostic lights for at-a-glance management of Ethernet, WAN, phone and power connections
Firmware: Upgrade firmware in flash memory via TFTP or X-Modem transfer using modem or direct cable
connection; configuration retained with upgrades; battery backup to protect configuration across power
failures
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Client: Allows remote upload and download firmware and configuration
files directly to the router
Integrated Management Utilities: ICMP Ping: Tests IP connectivity from router to local or remote site. Trace
Route: Determines routing path to particular host name or IP address. Telnet Client: Provides remote
management access to Telnet hosts on the LAN and WAN. Syslog Client: Maintains ongoing activity log on
