Cisco 887W ADSL over PPPoE Config?

[Aurium]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace my ISP's router with my Cisco 887W and firstly want to make sure that this is physically possible with this router?

I've spent the last few evenings trying various configs on differing interfaces but still no joy.

I currently have the ATM and dialler 0 interfaces set as NAT outside as different configs showed both as being outside for different set ups, not sure if they are conflicting with each other or not for this though?

I'm plugging directly from my BT master socket into the RJ11 port of the Cisco router.

Current ISP router is set up for PPPoE but is out of the equation for this.

CISCO887W-GN-E-K9

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CCNA certified back in 2013 but expired now and not kept the skills up to date.

Wlan-AP not set up, just IP address at the moment.

Current config below:

Hello,

typically, under the ATM interface, you would need some sort of encapsulation:

interface ATM0
no ip address
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
ip flow ingress
ip nat outside
ip virtual-reassembly
no atm ilmi-keepalive
pvc 0/38

encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer
pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1

[Aurium]

Hi Greg,

That was one if the different configurations I'd seen and tried.

When you say typically, is this the specific encapsulation that is needed for the link I am trying to establish?

[paul driver]

Hello

Are you trying to establish connection or querying the ppoe client configuration for this router, if the latter then posble append the following for client connectivity.

vpdn-group ppoe
request-dialin
protocol ppoe

int atm0
desl operating-mode auto

[Aurium]

Hi Paul,

That command for request-dialin, is actually what led me to these forums.

I do not have the option of pppoe as a protocol for dialin, only l2tp.

The post I found on this stated that this protocol pppoe under the vpdn was an old method and no longer a configurable option on newer devices?

Also the second part you mention, dsl operating-mode auto, is the default for the ATM interface hence not shown in my config, and it would only appear if one of the specific modes were entered.

[Aurium]

Hi Paul,

Just seen I'd not answered your initial question.

I'm trying to configure an ISP facing interface to establish a PPPoE connection on my phone line.

This seems like a common task but appears not to be from the lack of configuration examples on this.

Cisco software guide for this router shows config examples for PPPoA using an ATM interface and PPPoE using a fast ethernet interface but not PPPoE on the ATM interface.

Hello,

there used to be (a long time ago admittedly) the 'encapsulation aal5autoppp' under the pvc:

interface ATM0
no ip address
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
ip flow ingress
ip nat outside
ip virtual-reassembly
no atm ilmi-keepalive
pvc 0/38

--> encapsulation aal5autoppp
pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1

That said, I am not sure you can physically accomplish what you are trying to do. There is I think no layer 3 FastEthernet port on that model ?

[Aurium]

Hi Georg,

Thank you. That isn’t available on my router, the commands available under encapsulation on the pvc are as follows;

aal5ciscoppp

Cisco PPP over AAL5 Encapsulation

aal5mux

AAL5+MUX Encapsulation

aal5nlpid

AAL5+NLPID Encapsulation

aal5snap

AAL5+LLC/SNAP Encapsulation

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

what is the LED status of the interface on the router ? I am afraid PPPoE on the ATM interface might not be supported at all on this model...:(

[Aurium]

Hi Georg,

I'll have to check this evening.

If this model does not support this, what do I need to look for in the datasheet of a router to know that it is supported?

I've spoke to a friend that mentions this can be done on the ethernet interface (which I don't have) and that this interface can be added by firmware?

Is that something you are aware of?
