Not having ATM in my Lab (no cash), I've been working through several
configurations on paper, and running through the online documentation.
I'm fairly comfortable with PVCs now if I equate it to Frame Relay, however
I do have a couple of questions.
All of the cisco examples in the book show the pvcs on the physical
interface, however I have seen some other examples where a multipoint
subinterface is created.
These interfaces have all the characteristics of F/R physical and multipoint
interfaces, and I would expect the same layer 3 issues with them that I
would have with F/R.
Can ATM also be configured with Point-to-point interfaces in the same way as
F/R, and does it then follow the same rules ?
If you need different subnets with your PVCs to different routers, I assume
you would have to use subinterfaces, so would you use multipoint or not ?
Any other recomendations on whether to use a multipoint subinterface as
opposed to a physical interface, and whether with multiple subnets I should
use multiple multi-point interfaces or point-to-point interfaces (if there
is one) ?
2 days to go...
