A Connected route added to routing table after PPPoE using Dialer interface

Hi All,

There was a strange case rised on my customer environment. On my customer's Cisco 2811 w/ 12.4(10) or 2611XM w/ 12.3(10c), there are two dynamic ADSL line connecting to the WIC1ADSL card which are used with PPPoE settings(Dialer interface) to get internet connectivities. After these 2 lines or one of them dialed up to ISP, they get 2 public IP addresses on dialer interfaces, but I find that there is a connected route added to the routing table, I suspect that the host in the route entry is a host inside the ISP. This route entry is not in existance when the ATM interface goes down. And this case never happened on my other customer. So I would like to ask anyone who knows why a CONNECTED route entry automatically added to the routing table of the router? This case still happens even I reset the router to dummy setting which only serves the PPPoE.

The routing table is like the following:

Gateway of last resort is 0.0.0.0 to network 0.0.0.0

100.x.100.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets

C 100.x.100.29 is directly connected, Dialer1

99.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets

C 99.31.47.18 is directly connected, Dialer1

C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, Loopback0

S* 0.0.0.0/0 is directly connected, Dialer1

Note: 100.100.100.29 is the suspected entry. This IP and route entry is constant after both or one of the 2 broadbands dialed up to ISP. 99.x.x.18 is the IP of dialer1 interface.

The following is the dummy settings on 2611XM:

This is typically the IP of the virtual-template which the ISP has created on the LNS. Not sure why the route is inserted probably for an end-to-end Layer 3 connectivity over the PPP network.

The addition of a /32 route in the routing table is a result of the ppp negotiation that is part of the dialer interface configuration with address negotiated. Inserting the /32 is normal and I do not see that it causes any problem. Is there a reason that you are concerned about it?

I am wondering about this statement:

100.100.100.29 is the suspected entry. This IP and route entry is constant after both or one of the 2 broadbands dialed up to ISP. 99.31.47.18 is the IP of dialer1 interface.

I believe that 100.100.100.29 is the address of the device on the other end of the ppp connection. I do not understand how 99.31.47.18 is the address of the dialer interface. Perhahps you could post the output of show ip interface brief along with the output of show ip route so that we can understand the relationship better.

It might be very interesting and informative if we could see the output of debug ppp negotiation.
