887 Router as a PPPoE client

[ryancisco01]

Hi Guys, 

I have read a few posts of people achieving this already, but its not working for me. We have a 887 and I am connecting a new PPPoE internet connection on it, via fast ethernet 0. This port cant be a sub interface, so I have tied the dialer interface to vlan 10.

this is the config:

interface FastEthernet0
 description WAN interface
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address

interface Vlan10
 description internet
 no ip address
 ip nat outside

 pppoe enable group global
 pppoe-client dial-pool-number 2

interface Dialer2
 mtu 1492
 ip address negotiated
 ip nat outside
 ip virtual-reassembly in
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer pool 2
 dialer-group 2
 ppp authentication pap callin
 ppp pap sent-username blah password blah

dialer-list 2 protocol ip permit

In the logs I see this:

Di2 DDR: Dialer cannot nail-up the profile - dialer string not configured

and when I configure the pppoe under the vlan i get this message:

The preferred method for configuring a pppoe-client is on an ethernet sub-interface

However I assume I can ignore that as this router does not support sub interfaces.

Any ideas? is this even possible?

Have you tried assigning the vlan to the Ethernet interface? ie not trunking

swi mode acc

swit acc vl 10

Also, have you tried adding the dial terms with CHAP?

ppp authentication pap chap callin

ppp chap hostname YOURCREDENTIALS

ppp chap password YOURPASSWORD

Hi yeah I did try an access port. no change.

Also I tried chap, didnt make a difference, but now I am thinking it may be a layer 1 issue. although the interface connecting to the media converter is up, there is 0 input bytes and no learnt mac address. So I suspect that may be the issue.

I put ip address negotiated under int vlan 10, and things seemed to start working, i got assigned the public IP address, and could ping that address from the outside world.

however i could not access the internet from inside.

I have added NAT and ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 vlan 10

NAT shouldnt matter as im trying to ping directly off the WAN interface. Just can't understand why i cannot ping outbound.

PPPoE as far as I know is not doing anything, no sessions no packets, I guess as far as this internet link is concerned is all i need is DHCP address, no need for a PPPoE dialer. 

any ideas why it wont work, for example I can telnet to the routers wan address and it works fine, but ping outbound to anything fails.

Hi there,

Did you ever get this working using PPPoE?

Hello,

which router do you have, an 887 as well ?

Yes, it is an 887.
