3 ADSL connections on router 1841

Hi,

I have a question regarding a 1841 router (2 FE ports) with 4-port ethernet switch card installed running IOS version 12.4(9)T1.

I have 2 ADSL through both FastEthernet ports, for Internet connection. Internal connection is provided through ethernet card.

Is it possible configure a third ADSL connection through another ethernet port of switch card?

Thanks in advance for any information,

Albert

Yes it is possible to configure a third ADSL connection through another ethernet port of switch card.

To know about the configuration of the router 1841 you can use the following URL:

Hi Albert,

I guess you are talking about HWIC-4ESW card, which is basically a Layer 2 etherswitch module.

Its not possible to assign IP Address directly on the physical interface.

Having said that, it supports Switched Virtual Interface SVI. So what you need to do is create a SVI, assign IP address on the SVI and associate that VLAN with the physical interface.

Thus the IP address would be associated with that Interface on which you can terminate the ADSL routers ethernet connection.

Create a VLAN -

vlan database

VLAN 22

Create SVI -

interface vlan 22

ip add 10.20.20.20 255.255.255.0

no shut

Assign the vlan to the physical interface -

interface FastEthernet 0/1/0

switchport access vlan 22

no shut

Now, you have terminated 3 ADSL routers on 1841 on the ethernet interfaces. Imagine the Main ADSL connectivity going down. Would your 1841 router be able to detect the link failure.

Not really the ethernet connection between 1841 and ADSL would remian UP doesn't matter if the main ADSL link is UP and down.

So the 1841 router would keep on sending the traffic to the failed link and packets would be dropped by the ADSL router.

How do you overcome this - Use SAA probes. It keeps on sending ICMP packets to the remote destination which has to be after your ADSL router. This SAA object needs to be associate with the "route" pointing towards that destination. When the ICMP reply packets are not received by the router the SAA object would go down and the route would be removed from the routing table.

I am not sure where these ADSL connecties are going, otherwise I could have been more specific.

Many thanks for your information. That guides me to next router configuration.

Hi Albert,

I'm not a CISCO expert but I'm trying configure something similar.

I have a 1841 router (2 FE ports) with 4-port ethernet switch card. I'm trying to configure FE 0/0 for ADSL with FIX IP and FE 0/1 with Dynamic IP. Both FE 0/0 & FE 0/1 connected to different modem provided by service provider. I also want to enable the load balancing / load sharing feature.

The 4-port ethernet switch card will be connect to LAN.

Can you tell me how to do it?

Thank you in advance,

Chang

Here's a configuration example. If you want redundancy there are also more advanced examples in the same CCO section, but please begin with the basics here:

Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

Thanks for your reply. I manage to setup vlan1 and DHCP for FE/0/0/0 - FE/0/0/3, and configure IP for both FE 0/0 & FE 0/1. Following is my setting...

I still don't know which part should I add in for the Load-balancing for FE 0/0 & FE 0/1.

You need:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I'm not good at CISCO IOS Command prompt. Can I do it in Cisco SDM?
