Bandwidth settings Cisco Routers and Speed Related Problems

[tariqmansoor]

HI Team, It sems like i am caught up in bandwidth settings on Cisco router 837. I have ADSL2+connectionand, and have configured Cisco 837 which is working ok and conencting fine but have slow speed. I think this only support ADSL1, and carrier says taht speed is correct for adsl1 but i think there might be issues with bandwidth settings as i see all diferent settings every where. i.e on ATM Interface , ATM0.1 Interface, Dialer Interface. Below is what i have configured as bandwitdh

Interface atm0.1 is the actual interface configured with ADSL credentials.

Hi,

837 doesn't support ADSL2/ADSL2+ connection. Only the 857 and 876 routers are able to synchronize with ADSL2

Thanks Laurent,

If this was a ADSL1, Changing of Which Interface bandwidth would effect the speed. of course speed can not increase than the ADSL1 speed itself. but if the interface is configured on less bandwith , say 64kbps, it would effect the speed ?

I am just scratching my head around, what these bandwitdhs , on these interfaces mean when the connection is adsl1 connection ?

Thanks for your Assistance :)

Hi,

The bandwidth command doesn't affect the actual access rate. This parameter allows you for example to influence IGP best-path decision like OSPF or EIGRP which use the bandwidth defined on the interface for the cost calculation.

Thanks Laurent,

It will be great if i can also get my confusion vanished with the MTU size.

I get different MTU Size on all three Interfaces.

MTU on atm0: 1500 Bytes

MTU on atm0.1: 1500 Bytes

MTU on Dialer1: 1400 Bytes

Can you please tell which MTU Size effect the browsing. decreasing the MTU size on Dialler1 Interface did not fixed the issue of problem in Microsoft website loading.

Thanks,

on dialer1, configure mtu 1492.

on the lan interface, configure ip tcp mss-adjust 1452.
