Help with 887 and BT ADSL (UK)

[d95gas152]

Hi Everyone,

Just joined up to try and get some help with a script for a 887 running onn BT ADSL connection.   Existing BT router has just died so need to try and get this one up pretty fast.

I was hoping some nice generous person out there might already have a working config that I could just copy and change the relevant sections.  Then I can sit down once this one is up and running, and go throug a step by step with the second unit I have.

would really appreciate any help

Thanks all.

Hi,

I don't have a BT-adapted configuration but I assume that the configuration would be similar to this one (here I assume that BT uses PPPoA, ATM PVC 8/35):

hostname Gateway
!
interface ATM0/0/0
 no shutdown
 pvc 8/35
  encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer
  dialer pool-member 1
!
interface Dialer0
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer pool 1
 ip address negotiated
 ip nat outside
 ppp pap sent-username YourBTLogin password YourBTPassword
 ppp chap hostname YourBTLogin
 ppp chap password YourBTPassword
!
interface Vlan1
 ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0
 ip nat inside
 no shutdown
!
ip access-list standard NAT
 permit 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.255
!
ip nat inside source list NAT interface Dialer0 overload
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Dialer0

Best regards,
Peter

Try this for size this from a working working router - it even gets ppp to install a default route for you - BT user pvc 0/38 - unless you live in or arround Hull!

interface ATM0
 mtu 1492
 no ip address
 load-interval 30
 atm vc-per-vp 256
 no atm ilmi-keepalive
 pvc 0/38
  tx-ring-limit 2
  encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer
  dialer pool-member 1
!
interface Dialer0
 ip address negotiated
 encapsulation ppp
 load-interval 30
 dialer pool 1
 ppp authentication chap callin
 ppp chap hostname <USERNAME>
 ppp chap password <PASSWORD>
 ppp ipcp default
 no cdp enable

Is BT still not in Hull then :-)

I went to Hull University many years back and I still remember the beige telephone boxes.

Hull is the bain of my life - as a provider we have no on-net connectivity with them so everything is done via public Internet with VPN technologies.

Hull always was a bit different :-)
