Introduction

This sample configuration shows a Cisco 67x Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Router connected to a Cisco 6130 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), that terminates on a Cisco 6400 Universal Access Concentrator (UAC).

The Cisco 67x router is configured with RFC1483 Bridging and the Cisco 6400 is configured with routed bridge encapsulation (RBE).

The ATM RBE feature in the Cisco 6400 node route processor (NRP) routes IP over bridged RFC1483 Ethernet traffic from a stub-bridged LAN.

Bridged IP packets received on an ATM interface configured in route-bridge mode are routed via an IP header. The interface takes advantage of the characteristics of a stub LAN topology commonly used for DSL access and offers increased performance and flexibility over integrated routing and bridging (IRB).

Route-bridged encapsulation alleviates the security, scalability, and performance problem inherit with bridge-group commands and IRB that pertain to MAC layer broadcasting.

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

  • PC Workstation

  • Cisco 67x asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)

  • Cisco 6400 UAC-NRP IOS® Software Release 12.0(7)DC

  • Cisco 6400 UAC-NSP IOS Software Release 12.0(4)DB

  • Cisco 6130 DSLAM-NI2 IOS Software Release 12.1(1)DA

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Configurations

This document uses these configurations:

PC

  1. Set IP addressing to obtain an IP address automatically.

  2. Set WINS to use DHCP for WINS resolution.

  3. Ensure that no default gateway is set.

    It might potentially be necessary to set a domain name because DHCP cannot pass this information.

Note: It is often neglected and very important to add static routes for all subscriber IP addresses. In many cases, previous setups utilized straight bridging architectures where static host routes were not needed.
