11.8.1 DSL port mapping
A basic requirement for DSL channel bundling is the support of more than
one DSL interface per device. This means that one or more external DSL mo-
dems are connected to the switch of a BAT router.
U Allocation of switch ports to the DSL ports
Depending on the mode, devices with an integrated switch can enable some
of the LAN ports to be used as additional WAN ports for connecting to exter-
nal DSL modems. These ports are listed in the interface table as separate
DSL interfaces (DSL-1, DSL-2, etc.). The DSL ports are activated as DSL in-
terfaces in teh WAN interfaces list, configured with the up- and downstream
rates and allocated to the switch ports in the LAN interfaces list (example:
BAT Wireless 1811DSL):
D The column 'Port' contains the description of the associated port as
marked on the back cover of the device.
D The utilization of the port is listed In the column 'Allocation':
D None: The port is deactivated
D LAN-1: The port is allocated to the LAN
D DSL-1, DSL-2, ... : The port is allocated to one of the DSL interfaces
D Monitor: The port is a monitor port, i.e. everything received at the other
ports is output via this port. A packet sniffer such as Ethereal can be
connected to this port, for example.
