Cisco 897VAG-LTE series router, can it be setup on FTTP NBN?

VULCA
Level 1
Level 1

Hello all! First time poster and newbie to networking here.

 

As a personal project and achievement I am hoping to get this 897 series router setup as my home network router as an upgrade from my stock rubbish iinet one.

I am led to believe it is possible with this router, I am just unsure as the cisco CLI is not something I have used before.

 

Can any experienced veterans help a lad out?

I am not really sure where to start in terms of deploying this thing. My networking teacher at TaFE (im a cert III student currently)  says that Cisco routers are a powerful tool to wield if you know how to use them correctly, especially on a trashy little home network.

 

Any pointers or insight would be greatly appreciated!

AussieBB is different to what OP has, in that case you just want DHCP on the WAN ie IPoE. That should a bit like my NAT example for the C1117. See the ATM interface and Ethernet0/2/0 configuration. That works with IPv6 and includes an ACL to block incoming ports.

Their ISP is iiNet they use a PPPoE interface on VLAN 2 , same as Internode which is also owned by TPG. I am thinking an example such as this one, is what you might want. (Except not VLAN 100).

This particular modem does work on the NBN but you need to update the VDSL firmware. You want to make sure you upgrade your firmware so that it supports SOS/ROC etc.

Hello
As you are using FTTN I would assume the ISP has provided you with some kind of routing device which would then enable you to attach your own rtr to?

However before you do this, Are you able to directly attach your pc to that ISP supplied routing device and if so can you access the internet from thereon in, If so remove your pc and then attach your own cisco router via its GE WAN port and post the following:

conf t
default interface GigabitEthernet X
interface iGigabitEthernet X

ip address dhcp

I'm able to plug any vdsl modem in and it connects so no issues there.  Just hoping to get the rest of the code sorted

FTTN in Australia customer has to supply hardware. All other connection types, FTTC, FTTP etc have a NTD. FTTC you should use the NBNCo NTD provided as it powers the DPU.

If you're on plain FTTN ie and the only thing in your house is a TO (Telecommunications Outlet), then you supply the hardware for this connection. There is no need for a static route in NAT mode. All that will be provided by DHCP.

This should be connected directly to the phone line, and not through any other device. As @leontunnie is with ABB they will use a simple IPoE configuration, with no settings, so that means no Dialer0, no PPPoE. Just simple ethernet config and NAT.

Does show controller vdsl 0  produce a showtime? If it does, all you need is some NAT rules:

That means on the external interface you'll need a rule like "ip nat outside" on the LAN side you'll need "ip nat inside".

Create the access list that allows the VLAN to be NATTed

access-list 1 remark INSIDE_IF=Vlan1
access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

Then you'll want to create an overload rule. The external interface should be "Ethernet0"

ip nat inside source list 1 interface {{ YOUR EXTERNAL INTERFACE }} overload

If you want to port forward to a particular host on your network, ie say BitTorrent then this should do:

ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.{{your IP}} {{port}} interface Ethernet0 {{port}}

Create your VLAN1

This modem certainly does work with NBNCo and was sold for a time by Internode and Telstra. The above config is what I've seen on whirlpool.net.au and what I used with my 887 before the NVRAM failed

Hello,

I haven't followed the entire thread, so I hope I am not suggesting anything redundant, but as far as I recall, you need the 'wan mode ethernet' command in your config as well...

Hello

GigabitEthernet8 192.168.0.181 YES DHCP up up
NVI0 21.21.21.1 YES unset up up

Gateway of last resort is 192.168.0.1 to network 0.0.0.0

S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 192.168.0.1, GigabitEthernet8
[1/0] via 10.0.0.1, GigabitEthernet8
192.168.0.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C 192.168.0.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet8
L 192.168.0.181/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet8

So you DO have isp connection via 192.168.0.181 how ever it seem you ALSO have static default which is incorrect. Once that is removed you should at least connect to the internet from the rtr.

After you have confirmed this is okay we can move forward to providing you with internet access for you internet users

Mate i'm honestly struggling to see why there would be a static route in there..... Any tips?

Ive done some digging and managed to get the following:

I'm not sure this is correct. GigabitEthernet8 is an internal interface, I think that should be Ethernet0. Does "show controller vdsl 0" show that the link is trained?
