Overview
8.1.1
ADSL upload interface
The Allied Telesis Gateway product provide an ADSL
access to WAN Network, this interface is commonly
called upload interface. This chapter will describe the interaction between the ADSL physical port
a1
and the
TCP/IP stack of the system using different kind of transport layer.
8.1.2
Documentation Structure
After a brief description of the ADSL module and its interaction with other modules of the system all the CLI
(command line interface) commands will be described to allow a correct configuration of all the parameters
available configuring
an ADSL Allied Media Gateway product.
We will start from a description of the physical ADSL port a1 and its parameters and all possible setting in
accord with any DSLAM access device. Then, following the main indication of network topology after some
example of configuration there will be a complete and exhaustive description of all CLI command available on
Allied Telesis Media Gateway.

FIGURE 8-1
ADSL upload interface module
The ADSL port of a Media Gateway can be connected both to an Ethernet DSLAM or to an ATM DSLAM,
observing
the figure the connection between the ADSL port and the TCP/IP stack would be done via rfc1483
encapsulation transport in case of an Ethernet DSLAM while will be done using a Point to Point Protocol trans-
port in case of a connection to an ATM DSLAM.
8.2.2
ADSL connection via RFC1483 bridged mode
In order to allow the management of the VLAN directly from the Allied Media Gateway using only one ADSL
PVC (permanent virtual circuit)
it is possible to set up an RFC1483 transport attached to the ATI Bridge mod-
ule; ATI Bridge module provides support for virtual VLAN creating a domain, one for each VLAN, in which
RFC1483 bridged transport can carry on frames tagged for each different domain on the Bridge that will corre-
spond to different
VLAN the Bridge module provide also standard interfaces for attachment to the system

TCP/IP Stack allowing the termination of IP frames belonging to a specific VLAN to a well defined IP interface
(see proper chapter of this manual for further information about ATI Bridge module).
Example
#Typical set up for ADSL B and ADSL C group of devices
#Create a vlan with vid 666 and name vlan666
-->vlan create vlan666 666
#Create rfc1483 transport with VPI/VCI: 1/34
-->rfc1483 add transport pvc_1_34 a1 1 34
#Create a bridge interface
-->bridge add interface pvc_1_34_if
#Attach the bridge interface to the bridge
-->bridge attach pvc_1_34_if pvc_1_34
#Put the interface in the correct vlan on the bridge
-->bridge add vlaninterface vlan666 untagged pvc_1_34_if
#Create IP interface
-->ip add interface ip666
#Attach rfc1483 transport to the defined IP interface
-->ip attach ip666 vlan666
#Set a static IP address on the IP interface
-->ip set interface ip666 ipaddress 192.168.99.1 255.255.255.0

8.2.3
ADSL connection via RFC1483 routed mode
When it is not necessary to make ATI media gateway manage virtual vlans but it is preferable to leave the
Ethernet DSLAM manages directly one or more IP interfaces on different ADSL permanent virtual circuit then
the connection between the physical adsl port and the TCP/IP stack will be done using directly a transport of
type
RFC1483 since not using ATI Bridge it will be routed directly to the ADSL port
This approach let the Ethernet DSLAM to manage a multiple ADSL PVC connection and multiple vlan network.
Example
#Typical set up for all ADSL group of devices
#Create rfc1483 transport with VPI/VCI: 1/34
-->rfc1483 add transport pvc_1_34 a1 1 34
#Create IP interface
-->ip add interface ip666
#Attach rfc1483 transport to the defined IP interface
-->ip attach ip666 pvc_1_34
#Set a static IP address on the IP interface
-->ip set interface ip666 ipaddress 192.168.99.1 255.255.255.0

8.2.4
ADSL connection via Point to Point Protocol over ATM (PPPOA)
To maintain the compatibility with old type of network topography it is possible to set up a connection
between Allied Telesis media gateway TCP/IP stack and an ATM DSLAM using a Point to Point Protocol con-
nection transport over ATM cells.
Example
#Typical set up for all ADSL group of devices
#Create PPPoA transport with VPI/VCI: 8/35
-->pppoa add transport trpppoa dialout pvc 2 a1 8 35
#Create IP interface
-->ip add interface ip_pppoa
#Attach PPPoA transport to the defined IP interface
-->ip attach ip_pppoa trpppoa
# Set PPPoA account parameters
-->pppoa set transport trpppoa username <username>

Port a1
The following chapter describes all the ADSL port available parameters. Note the ADSL port is physically iden-
tified in the system with the name
a1
.
Under the Port command section it’s also possible display other ports (ethernet0, bunbridge, tel1 tel2, etc).
Some of these ports are real physical ports while others are virtual ports used by software modules as logical
ports.
Only ADSL a1 port is described in this section.
