Re: CCIE SP - Basic Question

Hi,

I'm not exactly sure about the design rationale behind it but you
won't find the option "mpls" on the ATM main interface. You will only
find that option when you create a sub interface.

It is not necessary to set "mpls atm control-vc x y". It will default
to 0 32 if the opposing switch is also in default. You can set it to
1 64 or a lot of other combinations but just has to match what the
opposing switch is expecting. You verify with the command "show atm
vc".
