MX Series Router ATM Ethernet Interworking Function
You can configure an MX Series router as part of an ATM Ethernet interworking function
(IWF) scenario mapping outer and inner VLAN tags to ATM Virtual Path Identifier (VPI)
and Virtual Channel Identifier (/VCI).
The ATM Ethernet interworking scenario is shown in Figure 10 on page 77. The MX Series
router is configured as the Provider Edge 2 (PE2) router in the figure to support the ATM
Ethernet IWF. Ethernet is the only transport type supported.

The PE1 router translates between ATM and Ethernet VLANs. Only an M Series router
can function as the PE1 router.
The PE1 router translates between the ATM VPI and VCI and Ethernet VLAN tags as
follows:
ATM VPI to and from outer VLAN tag of the Ethernet frame
ATM VCI to and from inner VLAN tag of the Ethernet frame
