Help WIC-1 SHDSL-V3 not working on Cisco 1841

Hello all and thanks in advance!

Here's my situation: I'm trying to setup a Back−to−Back link through G.SHDSL for testing purposes. I have a router 2620XM with a WIC-1 SHDSL-V3 card installed that allows me to set up the configuration parameters properly (I'm using this doc as a reference). On the other hand, I have a cisco 1841 with another WIC-1 SHDSL-V3 card that is causing me trouble.

Here's my sh ver from the 1841:

In order to configure the DSL controller I enter the controller prompt by typing controller dsl 0/1/0:

Router(config-controller)#

But, once there, the only commands available for configuration are:

Router(config-controller)#?

Controller configuration commands:

  default      Set a command to its defaults

  description  Controller specific description

  exit         Exit from controller configuration mode

  help         Description of the interactive help system

  no           Negate a command or set its defaults

That's were I get stuck, since I don't have the proper commands available.

Additional info:

  • The OK LED is not lit on the front pannel of the card I'm having the issue with.
  • I installed the other WIC-1 SHDSL-V3 I have on both routers (2620xm and 1841), and the OK LED was lit and it allowed me to configure it properly.

Is the card deffective?

Any suggestions?

They will be greatly appreciated!

Your testing does pretty well confirm that there is a problem with the WIC-1SHDSL-V3 card.

I am not convinced that it is a hardware problem with the VPN AIM. In looking through some Cisco documentation I found this statement about software requirements for the AIM:

The Cisco IPsec and SSL VPN AIM requires Cisco IOS Software Version 12.4(9)T or higher.

My opinion is that if you have access to another IOS image for 1841 (perhaps from another 1841 that you have) and especially if it were running the T train code rather than mainline, that it would be worth trying a different version of IOS on this 1841 and see if that helps.

It also occurs to me that we do not know what you plan to do with this 1841. It is possible that the 1841 will do what you need it to do even with the hardware accelerator for VPN not operating.

When I read the description of your problem my first thought was that it sounded like this card might not be supported. But ths link shows clearly that the 1841 does support this card and that the version of software that you are running should support the card.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps274/product_data_sheet09186a00800921f0_ps221_Products_Data_Sheet.html

So we must look for some other explanation of the problem. Would you post the output of show controller for this card?

Hello Rick and thanks for your input!

I'm very grateful someone with your expertise is spending time trying to help me.

As you said, this doesn't seem to be a support issue based on the card's data sheet. Furthermore, I have another card (same exact model) which caused me no trouble when I installed it on the Cisco 1841 and also on a Cisco 2620xm.

I noticed that when I power up the router I get this output, that may be relevant in determining the cause of this behaviour:

It looks like the initialization process of the card fails and also that the system reboots (not sure about these 2 statements, just my interpretation). This is a good moment to make clear that I'm just a CCNA student

In regards to your request, Rick, I'm also unable to run the cmd "show controller DSL". It' s just not an available option. Look at this:

Router#sh controller ?

  Async         Async interface

  E1            E1 controller internal state

  FastEthernet  FastEthernet IEEE 802.3

  J1            J1 controller internal state

  Serial        Serial

  T1            T1 controller internal state

  |             Output modifiers

 

If I just enter the "show controllers" cmd, I get a lot of information about the FastEthernet 0/0 and 0/1 interfaces, plus the Serial interface, but nothing about dsl.

That's all the information I can provide you with right now. I certainly have no clue how to move on to solve this.

I'll gladly follow any suggestions you may have for me.

Many thanks again!

Thank you for the additional information. I believe that it is helpful. Certainly these messages indicate that there is a problem.

And if the firmware download failed it could explain why there are not many options for the controller in config mode.

This message also indicates a problem and I am not sure whether it is related to the first problem or is a second (unrelated) problem

I would suggest these steps to investigate this problem

- remove the WIC-1 SHDSL-V3 card from the router, boot the router, and see if there is a problem in the boot process. If so there is probably a problem in this 1841 which you need to deal with (hopefully it is covered under a maintenance contract so that you can request RMA of the router).

- if the boot without the card is successful, then power down the router and exchange the WIC-1 SHDSL-V3 card with the card that is running ok in the other 1841.

- If there is a problem on this router then the problem is probably with this router and is specific to this card. You will need to deal with it (perhaps you can deploy this 1841 somewhere that does not need WIC-1 SHDSL-V3).

- If the problem moves to the other 1841 then there is a problem with this particular WIC-1 SHDSL-V3 card.

You pointed to an error I hadn't noticed before, which seems to be unrelated to the issue with the WIC-1 SHDSL-V3 card. According to this article, it is definitely a hardware issue (you may know it better than these folks). Unfortunately, the equipment is no longer covered under a maintenance contract (will have to deal with this failure, I´m not sending the router to the UK ).

Afterwards, I installed the second SHDSL-V3 card I have on this (the same) router, and booted it up again. Here's what I got:

All seems to be OK with the second WIC-1 SHDSL-V3: no "Firmware_download_failure" error message during bootup, I was able to issue "sh controllers dsl" and all commands are available in the config mode.

I  guess we can conclude that "there's something wrong" with the first  WIC-1 SHDSL-V3. I had already tested that one on the other router  previously with the same results (same errors). That would be the "good news".

Bad news is that now I have found that not only the S.HDSL card doesn't work, but also the VPN AIM is faulty too.

Would you agree with me Rick?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Your testing does pretty well confirm that there is a problem with the WIC-1SHDSL-V3 card.

I am not convinced that it is a hardware problem with the VPN AIM. In looking through some Cisco documentation I found this statement about software requirements for the AIM:

The Cisco IPsec and SSL VPN AIM requires Cisco IOS Software Version 12.4(9)T or higher.

My opinion is that if you have access to another IOS image for 1841 (perhaps from another 1841 that you have) and especially if it were running the T train code rather than mainline, that it would be worth trying a different version of IOS on this 1841 and see if that helps.

It also occurs to me that we do not know what you plan to do with this 1841. It is possible that the 1841 will do what you need it to do even with the hardware accelerator for VPN not operating.

Hi Rick!

Thanks for your feedback! The situation is clear to me now. One of the WIC-1SHDSL-V3 cards is clearly damaged. The Cisco IPSec and SSL VPN AIM is not necessarily defective. I will have to look for an alternative solution in regards to the G.SHDSL back-to-back link (maybe I'll stick to my WIC-1T cards, for now). And the VPN hardware acceleration is not an issue for me right now. I´ll try upgrading the IOS if necessary later on.

I must say it´s been a pleasure dealing with you, you've been very kind and generous and I really appreciate it.

Hope we'll keep seeing around in these forums!

Warm regards from Argentina,
