Hi guys,
I just came across something interesting and a bit scary.
I was configuring ppp over ATM and since I didn't remember exactly every
command needed, I checked the Doc-CD.
In the doc-cd, all the examples used the aal5mux encap, so that's what I
did. Surprise, surprise. It didn't work.
After checking the SG and the config of the remote router for this task, I
saw that aal5snap encap was being used.
Once I reconfigured my router with aal5snap encap, it worked like a charm.
But, this leads me to a couple questions:
1. If we're not explicitly told which aal5 encap to use in the lab,
is there a way to figure out which encap to use other than by trial or
error?
2. The actual solution was like this:
int atm0.201 p2p
pvc 0/201
encap aal5snap
protocol ppp virtual-template 1
I couldn't find any example like this on the Doc-CD. Does such an example
exist? IF so, where?
3. Based on my results, I assume the encap type must be the same on
both sides. Is this true?
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
TIA, Tim
