Configuring an ATM-over-SHDSL Interface with Quick Configuration

Logical Interface Name

Lists the logical interfaces for the ATM-over-SHDSL physical interface.

If you have not added an at-pim/0/port interface, click Add and enter the information required in the Interfaces Quick Configuration fields.

If you have already configured a logical interface, select the interface name from the Logical Interface Name list.

To delete a logical interface, select the interface and click Delete.

Add logical interfaces

Defines one or more logical units that you connect to this physical ADSL interface.

Click Add.

Logical Interface Description

(Optional) Describes the logical interface.

Type a text description of the logical interface to clearly identify it in monitoring displays.

Encapsulation

Specifies the type of encapsulation on the SHDSL logical interface.

From the list, select one of the following types of encapsulations.

For ATM-over-SHDSL interfaces that use inet (IPv4) protocols only, select one of the following:

• Cisco-compatible ATM NLPID—Use Cisco NLPID encapsulation.
• ATM NLPID—Use ATM network layer protocol identifier (NLPID) encapsulation.
• ATM PPP over AA5/LLC—Use AAL5 logical link control (LLC) encapsulation.
• ATM PPP over raw AAL5—Use AAL5 multiplex encapsulation.
• ATM LLC/SNAP—For interfaces that carry IPv4 traffic, use ATM over logical link control (LLC) encapsulation. You cannot configure multipoint interfaces if you use this type of encapsulation.
• ATM VC multiplexing—Use ATM virtual circuit multiplex encapsulation.

For other encapsulation types on the ATM-over-SHDSL interfaces, select one of the following:

• Ethernet over ATM (LLC/SNAP)—Use ATM subnetwork attachment point (SNAP) encapsulation.
• PPPoE over ATM (LLC/SNAP)—Use PPP over Ethernet over ATM LLC encapsulation. When you use this encapsulation type, you cannot configure the interface address. Instead you configure the interface address on the PPP interface.

VCI

Configures the ATM virtual circuit identifier (VCI) for the interface.

In the VCI box, type the number for the VCI.

Add IPv4 address prefixes and destinations

Specifies one or more IPv4 addresses and destination addresses.

Click Add.

IPv4 Address Prefix

Specifies an IPv4 address for the interface.

Type an IPv4 address and prefix. For example:

10.10.10.10/24

Destination Address

Specifies the destination address.

1. Type an IPv4 address for the destination.

2. Click OK.

Physical Interface Description

Describes the physical interface description information. (Optional)

Type a description of the interface.

MTU (bytes)

Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size, in bytes, of a packet on the ATM-over-SHDSL interface.

Type a value for the byte size—for example, 1500.

Encapsulation

Selects the type of encapsulation for traffic on the physical interface.

Select one of the following types of encapsulation:

• ATM permanent virtual circuits—Use this type of encapsulation for PPP over ATM (PPPoA) over SHDSL interfaces. This is the default encapsulation for ATM-over-SHDSL interfaces.
• Ethernet over ATM encapsulation—Use this type of encapsulation for PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) over ATM-over-SHDSL interfaces that carry IPv4 traffic.

VPI

Configures the ATM virtual path identifier (VPI) for the interface.

In the VPI field, type a number between 0 and 255—for example, 25.

PIC Mode

Specifies the mode on the ATM-over-SHDSL interface.

Select either of the following:

• 1-port-atm—1-port four-wire mode
• 2-port-atm—2-port two-wire mode

Annex

Specifies the type of annex for the interface.

Annex defines the System Reference Model for connecting DSL networks to the plain old telephone service (POTS).

Select one of the following:

• Annex A—Used in North American network implementations.
• Annex B—Used in European network implementations.

Line Rate

Specifies the available line rates, in kilobits per second, to use on an G.SHDSL interface.

Select the appropriate value.

For 2-port-atm mode only, you can select auto, which automatically selects a line rate.

Loopback

Specifies the type of loopback testing for the interface.

Loopback testing is a diagnostic procedure in which a signal is transmitted and returned to the sending device after passing through all or a portion of a network or circuit. The returned signal is compared with the transmitted signal in order to evaluate the integrity of the equipment or transmission path.

Select one of the following:

• local—Used for testing the SHDSL equipment with local network devices.
• payload—Used to command the remote configuration to send back the received payload.
• remote—Used to test SHDSL with a remote network configuration.

Current SNR Margin

Disable

Value

Specifies the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) margin or disables SNR.

To disable Current SNR Margin, select Disable.

To configure a specific value, type a number from 0 to 10—for example, 5.

The range is 0 dB to 10 dB with a default value of 0.

SNEXT SNR Margin

Disable

Value

Sets a value, from –10 dB to 10 dB, for the self-near-crosstalk (SNEXT) SNR margin, or disables SNEXT.

To disable SNEXT SNR Margin, select Disable.

To configure a specific value, type a number from –10 to 10—for example, 5.
