Configuring Cisco 870 series router ATM Interface

[Rabnawaz Anwar]

Hi,

I have configured Cisco 870 router ATM interface with following configuration

interface  atm 0

ip address public ip 255.255.255.254

ip nat outside

pvc 0/38

   encapsulation aal5snap

no shutdown

But when I check ATM interface it is still down and line protocol is down.Please help how to make it up and up so that internet service could be used.Also I want to know that the provider has also given username and password for internet in their device.We want to replace that device with the router and facing problems.

Since you need to define username and password, I assume this is a DSL link and not pure ATM.

Therefore you should change the configuration for PPPoA, for example:

interface atm0

no ip address

pvc 0/38  (VPI/VCI should be configured based on ISP requirements)

  encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer

  dialer pool-member 1

interface dialer1

ip address

ip nat outside

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool 1

ppp chap hostname

ppp chap password

ppp pap sent-username password

Best regards
