Appendix E - Connection Setup
Creating a WAN connection is a two-stage process.
1 - Setup a Layer 2 Interface (ATM, PTM or Ethernet).
2 - Add a WAN connection to the Layer 2 Interface.
The following sections describe each stage in turn.
E1 ~ Layer 2 Interfaces
Layer2 interface supports VLAN Mux modes, which allow for multiple connections
over a single interface. PPPoE, IPoE, and Bridge are supported while PPPoA and IPoA
connections are not.
The figure below shows multiple connections over a single VLAN Mux interface.
