Hi Rodrigo,
ATM LANE is what you need.
Or you can map your vlans on 6500 to or RFC 1483-compliant Permanent Virtual
Circuits (PVCs).

Hi all,

Think about the following environment:

               Ethernet ________ ________
                 | | |
| |
                 | _________| Catalyst| _______________ | 7513 |
                 | | 6500 | ATM |
|
                 | |_______ |
|_______|
                 |
192.168.0.5/24
              192.168.0.0/24

I donīt know if it is possible but here it goes the challenge: i would like
to bridge an atm connection to an ethernet network, in such a way that the
ip network should be seen as a single network.

I was thinking about use transparent bridging, defining a bridge-group and
using on both sides of Catalyst (ethernet and atm), but iīm not sure it will
work, because the address resolution on the atm side works in a different
way.

Does anyone ever done or know a functional way to implement this
connectivity?

Regards,
