Example—PVC with PPPoA on an ATM Interface
The following example shows a typical PVC configuration for PPP over ATM (PPPoA). For information
on configuring PPPoA, see the“PPPoA Baseline Architecture”white paper on Cisco.com.

Verifying PVCs on the ATM Interface
To verify successful configuration of PVCs on the main ATM interface, use the show atm vc EXEC
command. Check that the status (Sts) is up, and that the encapsulation type is correct.

Configuring PVCs on ATM Subinterfaces
The NRP allows the configuration of multiple virtual interfaces, or subinterfaces, on a single physical
interface. The ATM interface on the NRP (interface atm 0/0/0) can be configured with subinterfaces to
allow greater flexibility and connectivity when working with subscriber sessions.
A subinterface must be classified as either point-to-point or multipoint. A point-to-point interface
supports only a single PVC; a multipoint interface can be configured with multiple PVCs. Because of
the standard rule of bridging, a PVC on a multipoint subinterface configured for RFC 1483 bridging
cannot send data to another PVC on the same subinterface. This means that an RFC 1483 bridged
multipoint interface can offer greater security than a point-to-point interface, but only at the expense of
flexibility.
By default, all PVCs use AAL5 SNAP encapsulation. When you specify an encapsulation type for the
main ATM interface (ATM 0/0/0), all PVCs on its subinterfaces inherit this encapsulation type. You can,
however, override the inherited encapsulation type by specifying the encapsulation type in ATM VC
configuration mode.
