Example: Configuring Dynamic Subscriber Interfaces over Bridged Ethernet
This example shows how you can configure a dynamic subscriber interface in an IP over bridged Ethernet over ATM configuration by using DHCP events.
Requirements
This example uses the following software and hardware components:
- JunosE Release 7.1.0 or higher-numbered releases
- E Series router (ERX7xx models, ERX14xx models, the ERX310 router, the E120 router, or the E320 router)
- ASIC-based line modules that support Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet
Overview
Figure 11 shows the interface stack built for this configuration.

Configuring Dynamic Subscriber Interfaces over Bridged Ethernet
To configure a dynamic subscriber interface in an IP over bridged Ethernet over ATM configuration by using DHCP events, perform the following steps:
- Configure the DHCP server.
For instructions, see Configuring the DHCP Local Server.
- Create an ATM major interface.host1(config)#interface atm 3/3
- Create an ATM 1483 subinterface.host1(config-if)#interface atm 3/3.1
- Configure an associated PVC for the ATM 1483 subinterface
by specifying the VCD, the VPI, the VCI, and the encapsulation type.host1(config-subif)#atm pvc 10 100 22 aal5snap
Specify the VCD, the VPI, the VCI, and the encapsulation type. (For more information about these parameters, see the Creating a Basic Configuration section in the JunosE Link Layer Configuration Guide .)
Use the no version to remove the specified PVC.
- Specify bridged Ethernet as the encapsulation method on
the ATM 1483 subinterface.host1(config-subif)#encapsulation bridge1483
Use the no version to remove bridged Ethernet as the encapsulation method on the interface.
- Create the primary IP interface by assigning an IP address
and mask to the bridged Ethernet interface (or make it unnumbered).host1(config-subif)#ip address 192.168.2.20 255.255.255.0
You must specify the layer 2 encapsulation before you set the IP address. Issuing this command creates the primary IP interface. You must create a primary IP interface on which to enable dynamic creation of subscriber interfaces.
Use the no version to remove the IP address or to disable IP processing.
- Configure the primary IP interface to enable dynamic creation
of subscriber interfaces.host1(config-subif)#ip auto-configure ip-subscriber
- (Optional) Append the virtual router name to the subscriber
interface in case of DSI configuration.host1(config-if)#ip auto-configure append-virtual-router-name
- (Optional) Specify the source address of traffic that
is destined for the primary IP interface.host1(config-subif)#ip source-prefix 192.168.2.20 255.255.255.0
You can use this command to configure a subscriber interface or a primary IP interface enabled for dynamic creation of subscriber interfaces to demultiplex traffic with the specified source address. Use the no version to remove the association between the interface and the specified IP source address and mask.
