The limitations of this configuration are as follows:
• Maximum MTU of 1492 bytes
• ARP is not supported
• Other received bridged PDU types are silently discarded (802.4, 802.5, 802.6, FDDI)
• Does not send (PID type 0x00-01) and ignores received (PID type 0x00-01) LAN FCSs
• Spanning tree protocols are not supported
• Any received PDU which does not specify the XSR’s MAC address are silently discarded
• The access concentrator must be configured with bridging and ATM ILMI disabled
• ATM SVCs are not supported
Routed IP over ATM
The XSR’s Routed IP over ATM (IPoA) method, as shown in Figure 13-4 , supports the following
subset of RFC-2684 as it relates to Routed IP PDUs:
• LLC encapsulated routed non-NLPID formatted IP version 4 PDUs over ATM PVCs
• Non-encapsulated routed IP v4 PDUs over ATM PVCs (virtual circuit multiplexing mode)
• Statically configured IP address
• IPoA is invoked by the encapsulation ipoa command.
