Basic configuration procedures
This section provides instructions on configuring the Passport 8672ATM Module
with Device Manager to perform basic networking tasks:

Bridging point-to-point traffic using an ATM 1483 PVC using
Device Manager
In this configuration (Figure 51) , the Passport 8672ATM Module has an ATM
1483 PVC bridged across an ATM PVC network. Use a separate ATM1483 PVC
for each VLAN. The VLANs may appear on the same port or on different ports of
the Passport 8672ATM Modules. You cannot bridge between PVCs in the same
VLAN on the same port of the Passport 8672ATM Module.
Nortel Networks recommends that you create a new STP group for bridging
between ATM ports and Ethernet ports. You should remove the ATM port from
the default STP group and from the default VLAN. This minimizes BPDU traffic
to the ATM port. Passport ports receive BPDU traffic for the default STP group
and the tagged VLAN.
