Configuration Guide 3. PPP and PPPoE PPP and PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) are network protocols that allow data communication between two network hosts or points. PPPoE is encapsulated in Ethernet frames. Both protocols exist at the network access layer (also known as the data link layer).

Configuration Guide 4. ADSL/VDSL ADSL/VDSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a technology for transmitting digital information at a high bandwidth on existing phone lines to homes and businesses. ADSL is asymmetric in that it uses most of the channel to transmit downstream to the user and only a small part to receive information from the user.
WAN & LAN Access Interfaces ADSL Examples In this example, MSBR connects to the Internet Service Provider using ADSL mode. Figure 4-1: ADSL Example MSBR MPLS Internet DSL 0 /0 MPLS Client 1 Network ADSL connection Service Provider # configure data (config-data)# interface dsl 0/0 (conf-if-dsl 0/0)# no shutdown Once the DSL port senses that it is connected to ADSL, the ADSL mode is automatically...

Configuration Guide 5. ATM-based Interfaces and Encapsulation ATM-based Interfaces and Encapsulation Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a high-speed networking standard designed to support both voice and data communications. ATM is normally utilized by Internet service providers on their private long-distance networks. ATM operates at the data link layer (Layer 2 in the OSI model) over either fiber or twisted-pair cable.
WAN & LAN Access Interfaces Command Description multiple protocols need to be transported, there is a separate VC for each. (conf-atm slot/port)# ppp For PPP authentication (if required). Type [user] [password] the username and password (encrypted or not). Examples In this example, MSBR is connected to the Service Provider and the ATM logical interface needs to be configured.

Configuration Guide 6. EFM Interfaces EFM Interfaces Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) is a technology that utilizes symmetric dedicated leased lines to offer bandwidth speeds of up to 35 Mbps. It provides a point-to-point solution that utilizes multiple copper-pairs for enhanced connectivity and resilience. Whereas standard ADSL and SDSL offer just one line, a copper EFM connection can use several of them in parallel - meaning that if one individual line fails, connection can still be maintained, albeit at a lower throughput.

Configuration Guide 7. Configuring VLANs on WAN interface Configuring VLANs on WAN interface A VLAN can be configured on some WAN interfaces. Without a VLAN on the WAN interface, the outgoing packet will not have a VLAN tag on its output. With VLAN configuration on the WAN interface, the outbound packet will have a VLAN tag.

Configuration Guide 8. SHDSL - EFM/ATM SHDSL - EFM/ATM Symmetrical high-speed digital subscriber line (SHDSL) is a form of DSL, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional voice-band modem can provide. Compared to ADSL, SHDSL employs modulation and frequencies that include those used by analog plain old telephone service (POTS) to provide equal transmit and receive (i.e.

Configuration Guide 16. WAN Failover WAN Failover WAN failover is the process in which redundant WAN connections are configured to increase WAN uptime. To establish WAN failover, two separate WAN connections from different ISPs are required, which operate as primary and secondary connections. It is important that both WAN connections are from different ISPs so that if any problem arises in the WAN link from one ISP, the link from the second ISP can be used to establish a WAN connection.

Configuration Guide 17. Wi-Fi Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a term for certain types of wireless local area networks (WLAN) that use specifications in the 802.11 family, Originally, Wi-Fi certification was applicable only to products using the 802.11b standard. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard.
Page 68
WAN & LAN Access Interfaces Command Description 802.11g: transmits at 2.4 GHz like 802.11b, but it's much faster. It can handle up to 54 megabits of data per second. 802.11g is faster because it uses the same OFDM coding as 802.11a.
