Guidelines for Configuring ATM for Subscriber Access

The following guidelines apply when you configure PPP-over-Ethernet-over-ATM (PPPoE-over-ATM), IP-over-ATM (IPoA), IP-over-Ethernet-over-ATM (IPoE-over-ATM), PPP-over-ATM (PPPoA), and concurrent PPPoE-over-ATM and IPoE-over-ATM configurations for ATM subscriber access. You can create these configurations on MX Series routers with Modular Port Concentrator/Modular Interface Card (MPC/MIC) interfaces that use the ATM MIC with SFP.

For all supported ATM subscriber access configurations:

For PPPoE-over-ATM configurations:

  • For dynamic or static PPPoE-over-ATM configurations, including concurrent PPPoE-over-ATM and IPoE-over-ATM subscriber interfaces on a single ATM PVC, specify PPPoE-specific options at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family pppoe] hierarchy level. Specifying PPPoE-specific options at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number pppoe-underlying-options] hierarchy level is not supported for these configurations.

  • For dynamic or static PPPoE-over-ATM configurations, you must configure the router to act as a PPPoE server (also known as a remote access concentrator). Configuring the router to act as a PPPoE client is not supported in these configurations.

  • For dynamic PPPoE-over-ATM configurations, issue the dynamic-profile profile-name statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family pppoe] hierarchy level to associate the ATM logical interface with the dynamic profile that defines the PPPoE subscriber interface.

For static IPoA and IPoE-over-ATM configurations:

  • Specify interface-specific options at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family inet] hierarchy level (for IPv4) or at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family inet6] hierarchy level (for IPv6).

For static PPPoA configurations:

  • Specify PPP-specific options at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number ppp-options] hierarchy level.
