Guidelines for Configuring ATM for Subscriber Access
The following guidelines apply when you configure IP-over-ATM (IPoA) and IP-over-Ethernet-over-ATM (IPoE-over-ATM) 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:
Make sure you specify the correct encapsulation type on the ATM logical interface for your configuration, as described in ATM for Subscriber Access Encapsulation Types Overview.
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).
