Cisco 887 VA-M initial configuration

OrtoNNortH
Level 1
Level 1

Hi dear Cisco community

 

As a non CCNA engineer (please excuse me) so I'm not very familiar with the IOS and CLA. 

Nevertheless I've decided, or I shall rather say I was forced, to start my adventure with the CISCO ISR 887 VA-M by my lovely ISP Vodafone. Their router is well... utterly s%$# at best and drops my VDSL connection several times a day and cannot work in bridge mode. 

Router Configuration

After my research I have found that CISCO 887 VA-M router is officially certified by BT Openreach for VDSL2 (80Mb/20Mb) connection and it cost very reasonable money. So I bought one and I'm kind of stuck as device is in factory reset condition. 

 

I have two options on how to configure it that depends on few factors. 

 

I have static IP from my ISP, an ESXi server with 4 NICs running few VMs that are sitting in DMZ with few services NATed to local IPs and a WS2016 Domain Controller running DNS and DHCP that will obviously be on LAN. Nothing fancy but without better knowledge of the device architecture and IOS it get's quite frustrating. I would also like to use VPN client to connect remotely. 

 

I have a working setup that was previously using WatchGuard firewall through Virgin Router running in a bridge mode. 
It was all set and running using dynDNS but as Virgin is a ripoff (£65 no static IP vs £24 on Vodafone with static IP a month) I have decided to swap the ISP. 

 

So, I can swap entirely to CISCO 887 VA-M if this device can provide me access to the built-in web console for Firewall, NAT, VLANs, VPN and routing. Unfortunately I could not find any information if such feature is available. Does any one of you guys know if the 887 VA-M provides it or if there is an alternate way through for example a desktop app? (CCP is a no-go as it requires Java 1.6 or lower).

 

If there is no web or desktop app then I could continue using my existing setup and 887 in a bridge mode. 

 

So far I have configured all LAN ports on VLAN1, a C class IP address for the VLAN1, I can ping it and all ports are in no shutdown (as well as VLAN) as an exercise. 

 

Taking above to the account could you please answer and help with following:

 

1. Is there web or software console for FW, NAT, VLAN, L3 and VPN? If yes, how to configure, if not go to 5.

2. How to configure PPPoE for VDSL2 connection?

3. Would the configuration with NAT, FW and VPN still allow me to use full VDSL2 bandwidth (80/20 Mbs)? If not, go to 5. 

4. Knowing my setup would you suggest to configure spanning tree (rest of the L2 switches are unmanaged in flat topology) 

5. How to configure PPPoE vor VDSL2 in bridge mode?

6. How to disable PoE on FETH0 FETH1?

7. What else should I configure to keep it stable and safe? 

 

I don't need to use PoE as I have dedicated PoE switch for my CCTV, I'm also not too worried about power saving so I would prefer to run everything on 100% always on (except PoE)

 

There are plenty of options in the help guide but I'm not familiar with many of them: 
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/800/software/configuration/guide/SCG800Guide/SCG800_Guide_BookMap_chapter_010.html

 

I know that I ask for a big favour, but it would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

 

I think CCP is the only web interface the 887 uses as GUI, so if you cannot use that, you are kind of stuck with the command line. Which to be honest is not too bad, as it is a lot easier than the GUI, in my opinion. You need to access the 887 through the console port and use a free software such as Putty in order to get access.

 

Below is a sample configuration. What is your experience with the command line ?

Hi @Georg Pauwen 

 

Firstly, thank you for replying to my post.

My first post and an almost immediate response, this is very impressive.

 

Secondly, I have done some research about the ISR 887 and it seems that it's not best at handling 80Mbs connection with firewall and NAT at the same time. I have found an information that with VPN enabled on top of it the bandwidth can drop even to 25Mbs. 

This is obviously understandable as we are talking about almost a 10 years old device model. 

So I think that my best option is configure it in a bridge mode between Eth0 and FEth0. 

 

To answer your question regarding CLI I can tell that although I'm not familiar CISCO commands I can do PowerShell, CMD, Linux and some Java and HTML, so I guess that this is not much different. I was able as an exercise to configure VLAN and enable all switch ports myself, so this must not be that much complicated. 

 

I would appreciate if you could send me a config for 887VA-M to use it as a VDSL2 modem so that I could pass all the traffic and public IP straight through it onto the WAN port of my WatchGuard firewall. If that's possible please let me know in which line I should add my PPPoE credentials. Hopefully that should do. 

 

To make it easier I can factory reset the router to start from scratch. Would you be able to help?

 

Thank you. 

Hello,

 

to be honest, if you use a Watchguard (Firebox I assume), you would not need the Cisco, at all. The PPPoE configuration would go on the external interface of the Watchguard (assuming that you have a model that supports VDSL, such as the T10-D). I think the Fireboxes have a much higher throughput than the Ciscos (and as you already said, your model is very old).

 

The sample configuration I sent is for the Cisco being directly connected to the ISP. Since you already own the device, you might as well try and configure it and get it connected.

Hello All,

 

I have been trying to configure a Cisco 887 VAW since the one I have been supplied by ISP is not very good, I have below configuration but still not working, can you advise where I'm going wrong, many thanks.

Hello Georg Pauwen / All, Thanks for the promt reply, it was much appreciated. So I'm trying to set up a Cisco 887VAW for home use with a personal and a Guest WiFi. The Cisco 887 which has an integrated AP so I dont need to configure an external AP. I have an ASA5505 which I would like to deply somtime, but for now if I can get the router working I'd be happy. version 15.1 service tcp-keepalives-in service tcp-keepalives-out service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime localtime no service password-encryption !

Hello Georg Pauwen / All,

Thanks for the promt reply, it was much appreciated. So I'm trying to set up a Cisco 887VAW for home use with a personal and a Guest WiFi. The Cisco 887 which has an integrated AP so I dont need to configure an external AP.

I have an ASA5505 which I would like to deply somtime, but for now if I can get the router working I'd be happy.

Hello,

 

make the changes marked in bold. Can you ping 8.8.8.8 from the router ?

 

interface Vlan1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside

@Georg Pauwen 

 

I will amend the config as suggested and will let you know how I get on, In the meantime, is there a reason for removing the bridge-group 1 and 2, I thought the bridge-group was required, or is that only if using external AP ?

@Georg Pauwen 

 

1) Now able to ping the google and BBC dns.
2) What about LAN interfaces, should they not be configured with IP or should I configure DHCP, I will be using the LAN ports for PS4/XBOX/PC/Laptop?
3) The only thing left now is my SSID not being advertised, and would like to use Private and Guest Wifi.
4) I will be configuring ASA5505 soon, and may use one of the LAN ports on this router, so any specific config needed for this port, not urgent just now, but will be good to know.
