The following example shows how to configure the FR DLCI to Ethernet VLAN 802.1Q feature on a 
PE2 router using bridged interworking:

Note To verify the L2VPN interworking status and check the statistics, refer to the “Verifying L2VPN 
Interworking” section on page 21-30.
ATM to Frame Relay—Routed Interworking
To perform routed interworking, the ATM and FR PE router must be configured. Routing protocols must 
also be configured to operate in the P2P mode. ATM packets arriving from the ATM CE router are 
translated into IP encapsulation over the pseudowire.  
When packets arrive from the FR CE router, the FR PE router removes the L2 framing, and forwards the 
IP packet to the egress PE router, using IPoMPLS encapsulation over the pseudowire.  The FR PE router 
makes the forwarding decision based on the L2 circuit ID (DLCI number) of the incoming L2 frame. The 
FR CE router can use static map of IP address to DLCI number.
At the ATM PE router, after label disposition, the IP packets are encapsulated over the AAL5, using 
routed encapsulation.
Address resolution is done at the ATM PE router, if the ATM CE router is doing inverse ARP. It is not 
required if the ATM CE router is configured using P2P subinterfaces or static maps.
Packets arriving from either ATM CE or FR CE routers with unsupported translations are dropped.
Figure 21-17 demonstrates ATM to FR routed interworking.
