NEWBIE NEEDS HELP

[sandman420]

Hello all,

So new to cisco it's not funny! I can cli configure ip and route and flash ios and not a whole lot else. I have seen some configurations for connecting wic-1enet to pppoe session for dsl, but these are all captures of their startup config if I'm not mistaken. I guess my question is, is what I see in the startup-config's the actuall commands I would need to type in cli? I keep seeing something about a tool that you can make the config and upload it to the router tftp? anyone know what it's called and where I might be able to download it?

Thank you

A different authentication method would only help if there was negotiation and authentication going on. First we need to figure out why there does not appear to be any negotiation or authentication. Since the router does appear to be correctly configured to do negotiation and no negotiation is happening I would wonder if there is some issue on the DSL modem side. Are you sure that the DSL modem is set up correctly for the router to negotiate?

As a check on that I wonder if it would be worth it to change the router configuration so that the Ethernet interface was set for a DHCP address (address negotiated) instead of a dialer? I wonder if it would connect to the DSL modem in that case?

Rick,

Strange; I didn't get an e-mail for your response. Anyway...that sounds like it to me. Our DSL service in bridge mode to a router still needs to hand out a public ip to the router via DHCP. Even our static IP services are really just static DHCP. How do I change that? What command? You see, I just copied that script from another cisco forum that said it worked for them, and I really don't know all of the commands it took to make that config.

Side question: Are there 10/100Mb ethernet wan interfaces for this router? Our DSL speeds are about to hit 15Mb.

Thank you,

Mark

I would remove these lines from the Ethernet interface:

pppoe enable

pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1

I would remove:

interface Dialer 1

and I would move this line from the dialer to the Ethernet interface:

ip address negotiated

As far as I know the 1751 supports only a single 10/100 Ethernet interface (the built in interface) and the Ethernet card that goes into the slot is a 10 Mb card (which I assume you already have one of). If you need your LAN to be 100 Mb and you want your WAN to also be 100 Mb then I believe that the 1751 is not the right platform for you. If you move up to an 1841 you get 2 built in 10/100 interfaces plus 2 card slots for additional modules if you need them. But the 1700s are limited in that respect.

wouldn't removing the pppoe feat. be taking the ability for the router to hold the pppoe session and login?

The way I have my DSL setup right now, is that my DSL modem is in bridge mode and passes the pppoe login session to my router. My router needs to perform the pppoe login and optain a DHCP address from my provider.
