This document discusses two RFC 1483 bridging implementations for configuring a Cisco DSL router: integrated routing and bridging (IRB), which is recommended, and allows the router to perform functions like NAT and DHCP; and pure bridging, where the router simply bridges traffic between the ADSL and Ethernet interfaces without additional functions. The document provides an overview of prerequisites and conventions, and links to related Cisco support information.

RFC 1483 Bridging Implementations
Select one of these RFC 1483 bridging implementations for your Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) service.
• Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) (Recommended) The IRB feature allows your Cisco DSL Router to bridge traffic in on its ATM interface (the ADSL interface) and then route that traffic out on its Ethernet interface. With IRB enabled, the Cisco DSL Router can perform value−added services such as Network Address Translation (NAT) overload, NAT Pool, Static NAT, and Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) Server. • Pure Bridging In a Pure Bridging implementation, your Cisco DSL Router acts as a simple ADSL to Ethernet bridge, and is unable to provide value−added services.
