Is it possible to store the dsl login credentials on the 861, and use a dsl modem as the bridge? That way if you disconnect the cisco router, you dont have internet access.
Thanks

Hello David,
yes it is possible if you have a PPPoE service from DSL provider:
in this case the C861 acts as the PPPoE client.
the DSL modem just needs to perform half bridging by carrying ethernet frames (including PPPoE) over the DSL link inside ATM PDUs.
so first step is to check if C861 can be configured as a PPPoE client.
Hope to help

The dsl provider gives PPoE service.
The question is, can the C861 act as a PPoE client?
Thanks

The 861 can definitely be a PPPoE client. The configuration is as follows:
interface FastEthernet4
no ip address
duplex auto
speed auto
pppoe enable group global
pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1
!
interface Dialer1
mtu 1492
ip address negotiated
encapsulation ppp
dialer pool 1
dialer-group 1
no cdp enable
ppp authentication chap pap callin
ppp chap hostname ispuser
ppp chap password 0 isppass
ppp pap sent-username ispuser password 0 isppass
!
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Dialer1
!
dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit
Substitute ispuser and isppass for the PPPoE username and password assigned to you by the ISP. Once configured, Dialer1 becomes your WAN interface.
