3. Configuring the DSL Router

Routed vs. Bridged PDUs

The router supports both the VNET model and 1483 Routed model (derived from RFC 1483) for the transportation of PDUs (Protocol Data Units) from the DSL router to the router in the core network. When operating in Standard mode, the DSL router in conjunction with the DSL line card with an ATM uplink (for example, Model 8304, 8344, etc.) supports routed PDUs. When operating in VNET mode, the DSL router in conjunction with the DSL line card with an ATM uplink supports bridged PDUs only.

NOTE:

Standard mode vs. VNET mode is configured on the DSL card at the DSLAM/GranDSLAM chassis by changing the link encapsulation on the DSL port.

Both ends of the network (e.g., the DSL router and the DSL line card and the core router) must be configured to operate the same way (i.e., routed or bridged).

If Using This Network Model . . .

Then These DSL Cards Can Be Used . . .
