The router supports IP/ATM, IP/Frame Relay, and IP/PPP over SONET on the OCx/STMx interfaces. OC48 interfaces support IP/Frame Relay and IP/PPP over SONET, but do not support ATM operation. This interface support allows service providers to accept incoming optical connections or connect the router to the backbone network through optical connections. The router’s SONET implementation supports termination, statistic gathering, and alarm surveillance at the section, line, and path layers of a SONET interface.

The following sample command sequence configures POS for an OC3 interface. See JUNOSe Link Layer Configuration Guide , for details.
- host1(config)#interface pos 0/1
- host1(config-if)#encapsulation ppp
- host1(config-if)#clock source internal module
- host1(config-if)#loopback line
- host1(config-if)#pos framing sdh
- host1(config-if)#mtu 1600
- host1(config-if)#mru 1600
- host1(config-if)#pos scramble-atm
