The ATM routed bridge encaps feature on the Cisco 6400 node route processor (NRP) is used to route IP over bridged RFC 1483 Ethernet traffic from a stub-bridged LAN.
Bridged IP packets received on an ATM interface configured in route-bridged mode are routed via the IP header. Such interfaces take advantage of the characteristics of a stub LAN topology commonly used for digital subscriber line (DSL) access and offer increased performance and flexibility over integrated routing and bridging (IRB).
ATM routed bridge encaps reduces the security risk associated with normal bridging or IRB by reducing the size of the non-secured network. By using a single virtual circuit (VC) allocated to a subnet (which could be as small as a single IP address), ATM routed bridge encaps limits the "trust environment" to a single customer premises using IP addresses in the subnet.
ATM routed bridge encaps does not support MAC-layer access lists. Only IP access lists are supported.
ATM routed bridge encaps is supported on the Cisco 6400.

Perform the following tasks to configure ATM routed bridge encaps. The first task is required; the remaining tasks are optional.
Perform the following tasks to configure ATM routed bridge encaps on your Cisco 6400 NRP:
Step | Command | Purpose | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
| Router(config)# interface atm slot/0.subinterface-number
point-to-point
| Specify an ATM point-to-point interface. | ||
| Router(config-if)# pvc VPI/VCI
| Configure a VC to carry the routed bridge traffic. | ||
| Router(config-if)# atm route-bridge ip
| Enable ATM routed bridge encaps for IP. | ||
| Router(config-if)# ip address ip-address mask
[secondary]
| Provide an IP address on the same subnetwork as the remote network. | ||
| Router(config-if)# ^Z
| Exit to EXEC mode. |
Only the specified network layer (IP) will be routed. Any remaining protocols can be passed on to bridging or other protocols. In this manner, ATM routed bridge encaps can be used to route IP while other protocols (such as IPX) are bridged normally.
Use the show ip cache command to confirm that ATM routed bridge encaps is enabled:
Router# show ip cache
IP routing cache version 4490, 141 entries, 20772 bytes, 0 hash overflows
Minimum invalidation interval 2 seconds, maximum interval 5 seconds,
quiet interval 3 seconds, threshold 0 requests
Invalidation rate 0 in last 7 seconds, 0 in last 3 seconds
Last full cache invalidation occurred 0:06:31 ago

This section provides the following configuration examples:
The following example shows a typical ATM routed bridge encaps configuration:
interface atm 4/0.100 point-to-point
ip address 172.69.5.9 255.255.255.0
pvc 0/32
atm route-bridged ip
The following ATM routed bridge encaps example uses a static route to point to an unnumbered interface:
interface atm 4/0.100 point-to-point
ip unnumbered ethernet 1/0
pvc 0/32
atm route-bridged ip
ip route 172.69.5.9 255.255.255.0 interface atm 4/0.100
The following example shows concurrent use of ATM routed bridge encaps with normal bridging. IP datagrams are route-bridged, while other protocols (such as IPX or AppleTalk) are bridged.
bridge 1 protocol ieee
interface atm 4/0.100 point-to-point
ip address 172.69.5.9 255.255.255.0
pvc 0/32
bridge-group 1
atm route-bridged ip
This section documents new commands. All other commands used with this features are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 command references.
To configure an interface to use ATM routed bridge encaps, use the atm route-bridge interface configuration command.

bridge-group---A group of interfaces bridged together to emulate a multi-port bridge.
BVI---Bridge Virtual Interface. The logical Layer 3-only interface associated with a bridge-group when IRB is configured.
NRP---node route processor. One of the component modules used in the Cisco 6400. This module is the Layer 3 element for the Cisco 6400 responsible for implementing the routing function.
routed bridge encaps---The process by which a stub-bridged segment is terminated on a point-to-point routed interface. Specifically, the router is routing on an IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet header carried over a point-to-point protocol such as PPP, RFC 1483 ATM, or RFC 1490 Frame Relay.
IRB---integrated routing and bridging. The process of routing between a number of bridge-groups.
U interface---The interface between the telco and the user, also known as the local digital subscriber line (DSL) loop.
