Transportation of ATM Service via MPLS/IP (PWE3/ATM)
An ATM PW is used to carry ATM cells over an MPLS network. It is an evolutionary technology that
allows you to migrate all packet networks from legacy ATM networks, yet provides transport for legacy
applications.
Configuration for provisioning and creating the PW is done through the existing xconnect command.
The following PW modes are supported in this release:
•
•
•
•
The following examples illustrates how different modes of PWs are configured.
Transparent Cell Transport Service/ATM Port Mode
ATM port mode maps the entire ATM interface to a PW. Use the xconnnect command under the interface
mode to configure a port mode PW.
A sample configuration is written as follows:
ATM N-to-One VCC Cell Mode
ATM N:1 VCC cell relay mode maps one or more permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) to one PW. There
are two ways to configure N:1 VCC in cell relay mode:
1.
A sample configuration is written as follows:

When only one PVC needs to be mapped to a PW, configure the xconnect command under the PVC
mode to configure a N:1 VCC cell relay mode PW.
