config for AT&T ADSL through 1841 with ATM WIC

jasonww04
Level 1
Level 1

I have a static IP from AT&T for an ADSL connection. My router is an 1841 with an ATM (with ADSL module). I have a username and password and the IP/mask/gw from AT&T but I'm not sure if I have my config correct. All the interfaces that I think are involved show up, up.

Hello Jason,

here is a config for PPPoE over ATM PVC

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/bbdsl/configuration/guide/bba_pppoe_ddr_it_ps6350_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html#wp1039162

PPPoEoA Client Configuration Example

The following example shows how to configure the PPPoE client DDR idle-timer on an ATM PVC interface:

!

vpdn enable

no vpdn logging

!

vpdn-group 1

request-dialin

protocol pppoe

!

interface ATM0/1/0

pvc 0/35

pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1 dial-on-demand

!

interface Dialer1

ip address x.x.x.x

! what must be

ip mtu 1492

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool 1

dialer idle-timeout 180 either

dialer hold-queue 100

dialer-group 1

! other ppp auth commands here

!

dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit

!

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Dialer1

You need to adapt it to your case where the ip address is static and not negotiated and to find out the ppp authentication config under dialer interface

Hello Jason,

if AT&T provides a static ip address how can be the ip address negotiated as in your config ?

probably you just need to configure IPv4 over aal5snap

int atm0

ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.255

pvc 0/35

encapsulation aal5snap

protocol ip x.x.x.y broadcast

without using a dialer or at least you need to assign the ip address as per specification inside dialer config

Hope to help

Giuseppe

I changed the interface configs but it still doesn't work.

interface ATM0/1/0

ip address 71.x.x.49 255.255.255.248

ip nat outside

ip virtual-reassembly

no atm ilmi-keepalive

dsl operating-mode auto

crypto map to_vpn

pvc 0/1

encapsulation aal5autoppp Dialer0

dialer pool-member 1

!

!

interface Virtual-Template2

no ip address

!

interface Dialer0

no ip address

ip virtual-reassembly

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool 1

dialer-group 1

no cdp enable

ppp authentication chap callin

ppp chap hostname blahblah@blah.net

ppp chap password xxx

ppp pap sent-username blahblah@blah.net password 7

Hello Jason,

two notes:

it is unlikely that the right VPI/VCI is 0/1 because ATM standard reservers for the network values 0/1-31 : the first usable PVC is 0/32.

Check with the provider what values you need to use.

b)

if you assign an IP address to the ATM interface you need to change the pvc encapsulation:

pvc 8/35

enc aal5snap

you probably don't need the dialer and virtual-template sorry if I was unclear in previous post

I'm a little confused : usually ip address is dynamically assigned during ppp negotiation.

When a static ip address is provided the config is different as described above and is classical IPv4 over ATM.

You need to clarify with the provider what type of ADSL service they are giving you.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

I changed the config per your suggestion but it still doesn't seem to be working. AT&T's support is pretty useless when trying to get the information I need. They tell me they are not trained to help configure a Cisco router with ATM WIC.

interface ATM0/1/0

ip address 71.142.18.49 255.255.255.248

ip nat outside

ip virtual-reassembly

no atm ilmi-keepalive

dsl operating-mode auto

crypto map to_vpn

pvc 8/35

encapsulation aal5snap

No dialer interface and no virtual interface

I spoke to a level 2 tech at AT&T and he told me I need to use PVC 0/35 and the router must authenticate before it can use the static IP so I believe I need a dialer interface.

Here is my config now but it is still not working. I've attached a show int.

interface ATM0/1/0

no ip address

ip nat outside

ip virtual-reassembly

no atm ilmi-keepalive

dsl operating-mode auto

crypto map to_vpn

pvc 0/35

dialer pool-member 1

protocol ppp dialer

!

!

interface Dialer0

no ip address

ip virtual-reassembly

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool 1

dialer-group 1

no cdp enable

ppp authentication chap callin

ppp chap hostname norcalrehab1@sbcglobal.net

ppp chap password 7 11071C1D0317075D

ppp pap sent-username norcalrehab1@sbcglobal.net password 7 09424B110D001B43

Hello Jason,

this is a step further

I would try the following:

int atm0/1/0

no ip nat outside

! all L3 config under dialer0 and set the ip address to the one provided

int dialer0

ip address 71.142.18.49 255.255.255.248

! use the static address they have provided

ip nat outside

! nat outside here

then

int atm0/1/0

shut

term mon

debug ppp negotiation

debug ppp authentication

int atm0/1/0

no shut

collect the output and post it as a text file

term no mon

undebug all

Hope to help

Giuseppe

I've attached the debug - I tried without IP on dialer0 and with the IP on dialer 0

Hello Jason,

O : output tx frames

I : input rx frames

no one is sending any form of PPP frame to your router. you can never see a I frame in this debug output.

Try to contact again the person that has given you about the right VPI/VCI and ask what form of PPP they want

PPPoA over ATM

PPPoEoA = pppoE over ATM

configurations and ATM encapsulations are different in the two cases

Your current config is the first one.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

they do PPPOE so I guess I need to do PPPoEoA

I will try that config and let you know. AT&T did say that the IP is "sticky static," meaning the IP is reserved for my router but it will be negotiated based on the credentials I have. For other AT&T connections I've configured I had to put username/password in but leave the address as negotiated.

I tried the config and I think we are almost there. Attached is the current config along with the debug output.

When I put the static IP on the dialer interface nothing happened but when I made the dialer negotiate it worked, mostly. I'm not getting the static IP I was told was assigned to me and after a few minutes I lose the IP and have to shut/no shut the ATM interface to get an IP again.

Does it have to be demand dial? Can't I have the router just make the connection and keep it up all the time?

Hello Jason,

things look like far better now

notes

a) I would move ip nat outside on dialer interface

b) to avoid DDR

try to configure the pppoe client on the pvc without the last option

c) to have the DDR to restart is just enough to make an extended ping you don't need anymore to do shut/no shut on the atm interface

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Made the changes and it looks like it is working. I just have to call AT&T to find out why I'm not getting the static IP that was reserved for me.

Anytime you are in Denver I owe you a case (or 5) of beer.
