PPPoE 876 - Problem

[bojan.vujic]

Hi all,

I have problem with configuring 876 to work as pppoe client. Is there anyone who have configuration example which work?

After all I configure all parameter for whom in consider as important, and try to debug I?m receiving this error ?padi timer expire?. I know to this error pointing on my IPS, but I?m wondering is there any way that I didn?t configure something properly ?

Any ideas?

Please send your config and "show atm pvc x/y" whee x/y are the VPI/VCI values you have configured.

This is configuration example of 876. I didn?t configure NAT yet. Also I?m not using ATM, I?m using regular Ethernet.

Yoy may be in murky waters, because cisco may not have thested PPPoE on the ports that normally are used for access.

padi timeout mean there is no answerd to request to initiate PPPoE.

Can't you connectvia ATM ?

[bojan.vujic]

Unfortunately I can?t. This is wireless ISP, end all what I have is Ethernet. Strange thinks is that I know that this kind of router already work fine on this kind of network on this WISP, and even I have configuration of that one, I can make this one to work.. I think problem is somewhere in VPDN configuration?.

I try all what I know, and I don?t know what else to try?

[paolo bevilacqua]

The thing is that you would need an 851 or 871 for this application. Even after you get the PPPoE working, you would end with NAT inside and outside interfaces on the same physical ports, and the router may not like this at all.

Anyway. Please configure the pppoe things under vlan1, not physical interface. Note vpdn is not needed for pppoe cliente, is it vestigial from old documentation.

Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

Problem is solved,

I make changes in configuration like I remove pppoe enable group global and

pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1 from physical L2 fast Ethernet to L3 interface Vlan 2. After that all start to work fine.

So pppoe attributes must be on L3 interface?.

[paolo bevilacqua]

Yes. Let us know if nat is working, it shoudl as you are conficuring different vlan for access and a PCs'.
