Cisco 2921 router issue with ADSL modem

[hxmengmetro]

Hi All,

We have one ADSL modem which is synced with ISP. When I set modem as DHCP mode, it can get static IP assigned from ISP fine. I would like set up IP address on our router interface. So I set up modem as bridge mode. I see the DSL line is up. Configure the PPoE part under Gi0/0 interface and Dialer 0 interface is configured too. But when I debug it, it only shows "Sending PADI:" and "padi timer expired" log. So ISP never responds. The configuration is listed below. I see modem use LLC based multiplexing. Since modem can get IP so it must be something missing in my router setup. Or different from the modem. Please help. Thank you!

interface GigabitEthernet0/0

ip tcp adjust-mss 1440

duplex auto

pppoe enable group global

pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1

interface Dialer0

d oyou see in log that Vi interface goes UP unad DOWN?

what does the command  show "show pppoe session" ?

It looks that your modem don't "forward" the  PPPoE packets yet.

Thanks Konstantin for answering my question. I see the Vi always up/up. No flaping. The show pppoe session and pppoe statistics show all the number as 0. In addition, show ppp interface dial 0 and vi 1 shows the interface state is down:

Hi hxmengmetro, I couldn't see the default route (or any other route) in your configuration. If you don't configure it, you must add in order to interested traffic go out and to start PPP negotiation.

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer 0

Hope this helps

Thanks for this information.

I have configured one specific route to the gateway:

ip route 34.9.123.1 255.255.255.255 Dialer0

I tried to ping the gateway from router, but still didn't see the pppoe negotiation process started.

I finally figured out the configuration through CLI for the ADSL modem last Friday. After I correctly configured it, the ethernet interface got IP assigned by ISP. Everything is looking good now. Thanks guys!

What did you change in our ADSL modem? I'm having the exactly same issue.

Hi Kenshaozinho,

Please post your sanitized configs for review.
