[c-nsp] Bridging ATM PVCs to VLANs

[Clayton Zekelman]

We have a customer who wants to upgrade from an ATM-DS3 access to an 
Ethernet access from our network.

We currently deliver around 80 PVCs to them on the DS3 (Bridged 
1483), and want to convert these to VLANs.

We were going to come from our Ethernet network into a 7206 with ATM 
and Ethernet interfaces on it.

The quick and dirty solution would to be to set up sub interfaces on 
the ATM and Ethernet interface, and set up individual bridge 
groups.  This seems cumbersome.  Is there a better way to do this?

 From what I recall, doing large scale bridging like this is CPU 
intensive, and the configurations get messy.
