Hi
I have a Cisco 877 & 878 ADSL router. I need to configure them in a back to back configuration before they are sent out on site.
The problem is, I have never configured any adsl routers before. Does anyone have any config templates I could see ?
Regards
Mike

Hello Mike,
ADSL interfaces are seen as ATM interfaces by the routers with some specific commands
SideA
interface ATM0/0
no ip address
no ip mroute-cache
no atm ilmi-keepalive
dsl operating-mode auto
int atm0/0.1 poin-to-point
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
pvc 0/35
enc aal5snap
protocol ip 10.10.10.2 broadcast
one side has to act as the CPE the other side has to behave as the CO central office
SideB:
interface ATM0/0
no ip address
no ip mroute-cache
no atm ilmi-keepalive
! here the difference to be CO
dsl equipment-type co ignore-error-duration 18
dsl operating-mode auto
int atm0/0.1 poin-to-point
ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.252
pvc 0/35
enc aal5snap
protocol ip 10.10.10.1 broadcast
The protocol commands are needed to use a routing protocol
Hope to help

Hi Giuseppe
Thanks for the config. However I have come across a little problem in that one of the Adsl routers the 878 does not seem to support ands ATM interface. The physical interface is labelled G-SHDSL.
So I'm connecting from a Physical ASDLoPOTS on an 877 router to a Physical port labelled G-SHDSL on the 878 Router..
Can yo help ?

Hello Mike,
I'm afraid they cannot match but try to do the following on the ADSL side:
interface atm 0/0
dsl operating-mode gshdsl symmetric annex A
A for US north america
B for Europe
if this command is not supported you have no chance to make them talk ADSL and G-SHDSL are different DSL standards.

lol ... no wonder I can't get them working .
I have managed to get hold of another adsl 877 router and I will try your configuration.
Thanks

When I do a show int atm0 the interface is down down. It's not down to a cross over cable is it ? There is one command listed from your CO config that is not supported on mine. Please see below
This is the CO Router running 12.3(8r)YI4
interface ATM0
no ip address
no ip mroute-cache
no atm ilmi-keepalive
dsl operating-mode auto
!
interface ATM0.1 point-to-point
ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.252
no snmp trap link-status
pvc 0/35
protocol ip 10.10.10.1 broadcast
encapsulation aal5snap
The command "dsl equipment-type co ignore-error-duration 18 " does not appear to be supported on this router.

I have just been informed by BT that you cannot connect two ADSL routers back to back as you need to go via aN ADSL Cloud
is this true ?
10-14-2008 08:41 AM
Hello Mike,
your CO router is not configured correctly:
int atm0/0
dsl equipment-type co ignore-error-duration 18
this is the command to tell the router to behave as CO modem (exchange downstream and upstream role)
Cisco routers can be connected back-to-back on ADSL links with the correct configuration.
Other devices may not be able to act as CO modem so BT advice can be helpful in that case.
Hope to help

Hello Giuseppe
Thanks for the help. But both Cisco 877's I have do not support the command "dsl equipment-type co ignore-error-duration 18 "
I have looked and cannot find any similar commands. The IOS version on this CO router is 12.3(8r)YI4
Any ideas ?
10-14-2008 11:19 PM
Sorry the IOS Version is 12.4(6)T7
10-14-2008 11:25 PM
It might be that the command dsl equipment-type co ignore-error-duration 18 " is not supported on 12.4(6)T7 and I may need to downgrade to 12.3 ?
10-15-2008 06:55 AM
Hello Mike,
I've given a look again at the command reference and the DSL equipment-type is supported only on
G.SHDSL WIC
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/bbdsl/command/reference/bba_01.html#wp1012887
So you need to make a pair of 877 with the other type of DSL interface the one that couldn't fit with ADSL in the first posts.
The command is supported in G.SHDSL WIC because that is a symmetric service same speed in both directions.
see the following document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk175/tk274/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080135834.shtml
To be honest this is the same document suggested by Andrew in first post.
Sorry for the misleading suggestions I hope you have two routers with G.SHDSL interfaces.
Hope to help

Hi thanks for that Giuseppe
Here's another for you or anyone out there reading this.
I have just been informed that one end of this adsl circuit will be a BT ADLS MAX line running up to 8mb and the other end will be a BT SHDSL line providing 1Mb of bandwidth.
Does the above sound right ? an ADSL and SHDLS at each end ??
10-21-2008 12:38 AM
It makes no difference what technology is being used at either end, the ADSL or SDSL is just a physical circuit into the provider network. After that it's all IP.
