We recently purchased an Avidia 8000 to support ADSL requirements. At the time of purchase, our company could not afford on-site installation costs, so here I am stuck with figuring out how to make this thing talk. The package consists of 1 chassis, 1 management module, 1 OC-3 SONET line card, and 6 twelve port ADSL cards. To give you a little background on what our network looks like, we have a semi-meshed ATM backbone using Fore ASX-1000 switches, Cisco Catalyst 5000 & 5500 switches running LANE, and 2 Cisco 7507 routers doing our routing for us. After reading the Avidia configuration manual, I see that it does not support LANE in it's current configuration. We need to be able to extend one of our VLANs to all of the ADSL users. With HDSL we do this by connecting each HRS modem to a Cisco 10/100 switch by way of REX modules. The ADSL solution does not give me this option, but does give me the OC-3 option. Question is, how do I interface this Avidia with our network that is running LANE. LANE services are being ran by the Catalysts and routers. We do not have LANE services running on the ATM switches. Ideas? _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
