6.10.12 ADSL G.Bond Creation and use of Profiles
In release 11.0, there is support for G.bond (ITU G.998) for ADSL interfaces.
Note: Refer to the Allied Telesis iMAP User Guide for detailed information on provisioning G.Bond, feature operation, and alarms/
performance monitoring.
To provision this, there is the profile called ADSLBOND, and it contains references to two regular ADSL profiles, referred
to as the Primary and Secondary profiles. (Refer to Figure 6-59)
In release 11.0 there is support for only two ADSL interfaces, but the use of Primary and Secondary profiles is sufficient since
there is always one Primary (Root) port, with all other ports as Secondary.
Normally, the same ADSL profile is used for both the Primary and Secondary profile, so when the Primary is selected the
Secondary defaults to the same profile. Additional fields (explained in the iMAP User Guide) are the minimum upstream/
downstream rates.
Since Tagged and Untagged VLANs can be attached to the ETH interface of the bond, the referenced ADSL profiles must not
contain VLAN information. Therefore, ADSL profiles that are referenced by an ADSL-BOND profile must have their
“Include VLAN Configuration” value disabled. The QOS Policy parameter is treated similarly; it must be set to NONE in
ADSL profiles that are referenced by ATM-BOND profiles.
During creation of an ADSL-BOND profile, if no appropriate ADSL profiles can be found, a window will popup explaining
these requirements and then the profile window will close.
