[cisco-nas] terminating DSL VLANs/Tunnels (spec. bell nexxia, canada)

[Francisco (fxdomin2)]

Is this a Bell Nexxia PPPoE service (GAS) or ADSL gateway
(HSA)?
If it's GAS you'll also need to terminate the L2TP on a
specific device.

(may be OT in that it doesn't specifically reference a cisco
nas, but it deals
in access provisisioning of sirts so am hoping it will reach
the right audience)

we are about to terminate a 100baset connection from bell
nexxia up here over
which they will be sending 120 tunnels from the various
redback switches to us
spread over 12 VLANs.
this will connect all the various DSL clients to our network
for us to route
traffic out our internet pipe (datacenter).

We are looking at having this terminate into a Cisco 3550
EMI to have all the
VLANs and Tunnel switching and so forth.  This would provide
sufficient port
density for the DNS, Radius, and so forth servers wthat will
also occupy the
rack in the datacenter.

Had some brief speculation on this earlier, and before
actually purchasing,
wanted to make sure that this would more than likely handle
our needs.  Can
anyone either with first hand experience with Bell or other
such DSL service
links provide some insight and/or recommendations?

thanks

Dave
