Cisco 1710 Router

[ms4561]

I am seeking some help/advise with the Cisco Router below:

Cisco 1710 Router - FW/IDS/PSEC 3DES

1 Console port RJ45

1 AUX port RJ45

1 Ethernet port

1 Fast Ethernet port

1 VPN Module

32 K bytes non-volatile config memory

16384 K bytes system flash

1. The dialer interface (AUX port) only supports ppp, slip (not PPPoE or PPPoA)

2. PPPoE can been enabled on the Ethernet interfaces & a client dial pool assigned.

Can you advise if I can you use this router with an ADSL connection? If it can be used how? I do not have alot of Cisco experience. From looking at the config it looks that the router can't make the call because the dialer interface doesn't support PPPoE. Is their a work around for this or am I not understanding how the configure this router correctly.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

Hello,

the Ethernet0 interface of your 1710 needs to be connected to your xDSL modem. To use PPPoE, you have to enable it on your Ethernet0 interface and point to the dialer interface:

interface Ethernet0

pppoe enable

pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1

Check this document for sampel configurations:

Hi

Thank you for your reply. I have had a read of the link you attached in your email.

With the Ethernet0 or FastEther0 pointed to the dialer interface, will their be an issue because the encapsulation is PPP enabled? I don't understand how the dialer can make a ADSL connection when PPP encapsulation is being used. Can you explain how your/the sample config works.

If I can utilze the 1710, using your config, can I use a xDSl modem that does not have a bulitin router, or if it does it should be disabled?
