Seeing the problem described by this old post to NetPro (which has no resolution)...anybody recall or know the resolution?
-------
Hi
I have got a ASA 5510 running 7.2.1.
The outside interface recieves the IP address over pppoe. Normaly you don't need to configure a fix IP with pppoe, but for any reason I don't recieve an IP address until I hardcode it on the ASA. Then when I reboot the ASA the IP address of the outside interface is lost.Further, I'm not able to change the subnetmask, it changes always to a host subnetmask. Has someone already made the same experience? See below the configuration of the outside interface and the pppoe statements.
interface Ethernet0/0
nameif outside
security-level 0
pppoe client vpdn group any
ip address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 255.255.255.255 pppoe setroute
vpdn group any request dialout pppoe
vpdn group any localname username@switzerland.net
vpdn group any ppp authentication chap
vpdn username username@switzerland.net password ***** store-local
Best regards
Peter

Hi Glen
I figured out now the bug. When I enter the IP address at the outside interface with for example a /30 subnetmask, it takes this command, but for any reason it changes the mask to /32 when you have a look in the running config a few seconds after you entered the command.
See this below:
ciscoasa(config-if)# ip address 213.200.233.189 255.255.255.252 pppoe setroutPPPoE is already enabled on outside interface - now clearing

Then when you reboot you get the following message:
ERROR: Bad mask 255.255.255.255 for address 213.200.233.189
*** Output from config line 16, " ip address 213.200.233...."
and for this message there is no IP anymore on the outside interface.

Do you have a static IP address assigned to your from you ISP? Post your specific scrubbed config.
