NOTE You can install line cards of two or more different types in a single Cisco 6160 chassis.
However, mixing different types of cards (Flexi ADSL, SDSL, and/or IDSL) on the same
side of the chassis might result in decreased performance.
Basic Cisco 6160 DSLAM Configuration
In this section, you will learn all the necessary information to successfully configure the
Cisco 6160 DSLAM.
Interface Numbering
Before you begin the configuration, it is important to know the interface numbering scheme
used by the Cisco IOS software in the 6160. Interfaces whose names begin with ATM0 (ATM0/0,
ATM0/1, and so forth) are NI-2 card WAN interfaces. ATM0/0 is the ATM switch’s interface
with the processor. There is no need to configure ATM0/0 unless you plan to use in-band
management. ATM0/1 is the trunk port. ATM0/2 and ATM0/3, if present, are subtending interfaces.
Table 8-2 illustrates the interface numbering scheme for Cisco 6160 DSLAM.
