RFC 1483 Support

The system software on the Passport 8672ATM Module supports the

configuration of RFC 1483 LAN clients with multiprotocol encapsulation. RFC

1483 supports standards-based methods of encapsulation that enable connectivity

with third-party ATM devices. Multiprotocol encapsulation pr ovides the

capability to set up PVCs between Centillion ATM virtual ports (VPorts) and

other clients based on LLC encapsulation. The current Centillion platform only

supports bridged variations of RFC 1483.

The Passport 8672ATM Module supports the following types of RFC 1483

ELANs:

•RFC 1483 bridged 802.3. The links can be set up within a single device or

with another switch. Multiple RFC 1483 links can be set up within one

ELAN. In all cases, the PVCs must be set up without loops; STP must be

disabled. Both LLC and NULL encapsulation are supported.

•RFC 1483 routed IP and IPX. An RFC 1483 routed VLAN always contains

only one PVC, corresponding to a point-to-point link between routers. The

ATM ELAN is bridged to a single Ethernet VLAN. The software adds and

removes the MAC header, as appropriate. When configuring an IP and IPX

routed circuit, the ATM port must be the only port assigned to the VLAN.

ATM ports do not support bridge/router (BROUTER) configurations.
