Solved: pppoe client and IOS 15

Boris Sharapov · ‎12-06-2010

Hi,

The pppoe on IOS (15 version) does not work (when using 12.4 version- everything is OK)

I have tried it with c880data-universalk9-mz.151-1.T.bin, c880data-universalk9-mz.150-1.M3.bin, c880data-universalk9-mz.150-1.M2.bin - DOES NOT WORK.

But it DOES WORK with c880data-universalk9-mz.124-24.T4.bin.

The configuration

interface FastEthernet4
no ip address
duplex auto
speed auto
pppoe enable
pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1 service-name "xxx"

interface Dialer0
ip address negotiated
ip mtu 1452
encapsulation ppp
dialer pool 1
dialer-group 1
no cdp enable
ppp authentication chap callin
ppp chap hostname xxx
ppp chap password 7 xxx

dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit

The errors are

PPPoE: Failed to add PPPoE switching subblock
PPPoE: Unexpected Event!. PPPoE switching Subblockdestroy called

"normal" IOS bugs.

Use what works, or complain to the TAC.

I didn't face any issue in 15.0M with this PPPoE client configuration:

vpdn enable
bba-group pppoe global

interface Ethernet0/0
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
ip virtual-reassembly

interface Ethernet1/0
no ip address
pppoe enable group global
pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1

interface Dialer1
ip address negotiated
ip nat outside
ip virtual-reassembly
encapsulation ppp
dialer pool 1
ppp authentication chap callin
ppp chap hostname user@surf.org
ppp chap password 0 cisco
ppp ipcp route default

ip nat inside source list 1 interface Dialer1 overload
access-list 1 permit any
dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit

Could you try a similar configuration?

thanks,

Xavier

To the person that rated my post above as "1".

You are a very un-educated person. You come here with the expectation that people has to promptly give a complete solution for your problems, and do not accept a 100% true and correct reply.

If that is not true come forward and voice the the reason why you did low rate my posts.

I don't think that you will.

vpdn enable
bba-group pppoe global

....

pppoe enable group global

Please note that despite whatever documentation saying otherwise, the commands above are NOT needed for PPPoE client, but only for PPPoE server.

I have hundreds of installations running fine without these commands. Admittedly, none use 15.0 yet.

Unfortunatelly, I can not complain to TAC, because I have no Cisco Service Agreement.

No, unfortunatelly this config wont help me. It really looks like IOS bugs, if there is no any specific commands for IOS 15.0.

Thanks.

Vladimir,

I am from Cisco TAC and support this technology.

There was a bug opened for this not too long ago.

CSCtg38732    887 adsl Fails to get a Stable Condition

However, this issue was not seen in the latest IOS: 15.1-2T2. Please upgrade to this or a leter ios and suggest if this issue goes away. Also make sure that you are on the latest firmware as well.

Shelley.
