PPP Over farme-relay

[Amit Singh]

Hi Team,

I was working on PPP over FR other day and somehow, I couldnt get it setup and working properly.

here is the setup :

R1 --- FR---R2, using physical interfaces.

R1 config:

username R2 password cisco

int virtual-template 1

ip add 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

encap ppp

ppp auth chap

int s 0/0

encap frame

frame int-dlci 102 ppp virtual-temp 1

R2 config:

username R1 password cisco

int virtual-template 1

ip add 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0

encap ppp

ppp auth chap

int s 0/0

encap frame

frame int-dlci 201 ppp virtual-temp 1

Fr PVC status= UP

Virtualtemplate= Down, Which is OK as it will always be down/down

Virtual access 2 = Down

PPP status: LCP down, Closed.

Any inputs on this would be appreciated.

Regards,

If the router's hostname isn't R1 and R2, you must send the hostname in chap with

ppp chap hostname

command.

BTW, I copied and pasted your config and worked here - the only thing I changed was adding the ppp chap hostname since my router's hostname wasn't R1 and R2.

Thanks Edison for the reply.

I think my hostname was the same as used in the UN/PW. let me go ahead check it right away and will rate the post. Thanks buddy !!

If it doesn't work, turn debugging on ppp authentication.

Rack1R1#debug ppp authen

PPP authentication debugging is on

Rack1R1#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Rack1R1(config)#int s1/0

Rack1R1(config-if)#shut

Rack1R1(config-if)#end

It has worked for me without the "PPP Chap hostname ". I dont know what I missed out earlier, but its working for me now. :-)
