I’m having problems with a Cisco 877W router connected to Zen Internet in the United Kingdom; what I see happen is the router boot up, establish a connection (CD light on, PPP light on) and then after a random period of time drop the connection (CD light on, PPP light off) without being able to re-establish a connection.
The router is running Cisco IOS Software, C870 Software (C870-ADVSECURITYK9-M), Version 12.4(24)T5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3). The embedded firmware is 3.0.014_no_bist.bin, however I upgraded it to adsl_alc_20190_4.0.017.bin as it tends to behave with BT ADSL lines somewhat better than the factory installed version.
Just to grab two random examples:
000033: *Nov 11 15:54:33.455 UTC: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Virtual-Access2, changed state to up
000034: *Nov 11 15:55:56.378 UTC: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Virtual-Access2, changed state to down
And...
000034: *Nov 11 16:34:30.175 UTC: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Virtual-Access2, changed state to up
000035: *Nov 11 16:41:31.039 UTC: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Virtual-Access2, changed state to down
On the first one, I turned on PPP debugging and the following errors were logged:
000245: *Nov 11 16:08:50.033 UTC: Vi2 PPP: Phase is ESTABLISHING, Passive Open
000246: *Nov 11 16:08:50.033 UTC: Vi2 LCP: State is Listen

000500: *Nov 11 16:10:40.891 UTC: Vi2 PPP: Outbound ip packet dropped
I have an 857W currently running on the line (that works without problem) until I can solve this issue but, in a nutshell, it looks like it drops the connection, keeps the line “up” but will not re-establish PPP. I’m happy that the overall configuration is okay because until it suddenly and randomly drops the line, it behaves as it should but will post the config if it's useful.
Here's what I believe to be the relevant part of the config:
interface ATM0
no ip address
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
ip flow ingress
no atm ilmi-keepalive
!
interface ATM0.1 point-to-point
no ip redirects

no ip proxy-arp

pvc 0/38

ppp authentication chap callin
ppp chap hostname [zen-hostname]
ppp chap password 7 [zen-password]ip forward-protocol nd
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Dialer0 permanent
As I've mentioned, it seems to be quite happy on the 857W currently running on that circuit. As soon as I put the 877W in place, it connects once, drops then refuses to re-connect.
Any pointers?

Hi Ade,
Seeing something very similar here with an SR520 connected to Zen. Did you ever get a resolution to this problem?
Cheers, Ian.

You should update IOS to latest, or DSL firmware, to 4.0.17.

Can you help me with where to obtain the latest IOS and DSL firmware?
Thanks, Ian.
