I've got a central site with several remote sites connected over ATM.
A typical setup looks like this (starting from the remote side):

core 3500 switch -> 3640 router -> 8510 ATM switch -> ATM cloud ->
8510 ATM switch -> central core 4507

All the remote sides are connected to one of two 8510 switches.

I'd like to be able to pass vlan information and have a couple of
ports at the central site be assigned to a particular vlan from each
of the remote sites (even just temporarily). How can I do this? IP
connectivity is already in place and working fine. I've looked into
LANE, IP/ATM, MPOA (does that work on 8500s?). Do I need to do
anything with these, or should IP connectivity be enough?

Thanks!

take a look at Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol version 3 Q & A

That looks like a fine idea.

Getting involved in LANE - even if is is still possible
these days - would in my view be a terrible plan.
Few people ever used it and very few now will
remember much about it.

Better yet - avoid transporting the L2 over your network.
