Basic configuration procedures

This section provides instructions on configuring the Passport 8672ATME Module with Device Manager to perform basic networking tasks:

Bridging point-to-point traffic using an ATM 1483 PVC using Device Manager

In this configuration (Figure 50), the Passport 8672ATME Module has an ATM 1483 PVC bridged across an ATM PVC network. Use a separate ATM1483 PVC for each VLAN. The VLANs may appear on the same port or on different ports of the Passport 8672ATME Modules. You cannot bridge between PVCs in the same VLAN on the same port of the Passport 8672ATME Module.

Nortel Networks recommends that you create a new STP group for bridging between ATM ports and Ethernet ports. You should remove the ATM port from the default STP group and from the default VLAN. This minimizes BPDU traffic to the ATM port. Passport ports receive BPDU traffic for the default STP group and the tagged VLAN.
