Please log in for more thread options My lack of knowledge keeps me from solving this problem, and maybe someone can help me... I have a testbed made of an alcatel asam7300 dslam (controlled by an AWS workstation), utp cable simulator and speedtouch 6100 dsl modem at customer side. The dslam is equipped with a vdsl line termination card. After a series of tests on the local loop (where the asam was in a "stand alone" configuration), now the problem is to interface the dslam with an E-Man "core" network in order to evaluate the performance of a vdsl video stream. The asam has a fast ethernet interface for the connection with an E-Man network. In fact it is an "Ethernet Asam": in the upstream direction it reassembles frames from ATM cells and executes a forwarding towards the E-Man network; in the downstream direction it forwards the frame to the correct ATM PVC and segments the frame into ATM cells. It implements a Cross-Connection mode, where a unique user connection is associated to a virtual LAN. The asam's "uplink" 100BaseTx cable is connected to a Juniper M10 router. That's the situation. The AWS shows no alarms, but I have a lot of problems...I can't establish ip connectivity between asam and cpe, for example. If someone thinks he can help me somehow please contact me, all suggestion are appreciated! | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options What do you mean no connection? No physical connection? Or IP? The ASAM7300 is a layer 2 device with layer3 remote management functdionality on later FGs. You would need to setup a device behind the DSLAM for IP connectivity unless you can figure out how to create some kind of loop in the 7300. | ||||||||||||||||
