In the Encapsulation Type menu, select the desired encapsulation type.
Current versions of ATM BRIM firmware use 802.3 VC-based multiplexing for
bridging protocols (designated VC MUX 802.3 Bridged); future versions will
add support for additional encapsulation methods.

NOTE
Currently, versions of CabletronÕs ATM device Þrmware restrict the range of VPI and
VCI values that you can set. VPI values for the BRIM-A6 and BRIM-A6DP are
restricted to a value of 0; VCI values are restricted to a range of 0-1023.
