PPPoE on an 831

mvoss

Level 1

I have a remote facility with a DSL modem that can only do bridge mode, meaning all authentication with the ISP has to be done on the device behind it. I have the PPPoE username/password from the ISP and I'm wondering if it's possible to set up an 831 to do the authentication.

Hello is this config working?

Yesterday I ran into an issue and my home router is broken so I have to configure my ISP connection on this old 831 CISCO Router. Did some searching online and got here.

Can you please tell if you managed to make it work?

In the command below, what is that 0 after password?

ppp pap sent-username username@isp.com password 0 password

shouldn't be only?

ppp pap sent-username "myISPusername" password "myISPpassword"

I will try tonight and let you know the results if I get no answer till then.

Cheers and thanks for the post, seems helpful

Hello,

this should be possible. Here is a sample configuration for the 831, replace the username and password with the ones you have from your ISP:

!

hostname 831

!

logging queue-limit 100

!

ip subnet-zero

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1

!

ip dhcp pool LOCALPOOL

import all

network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

default-router 192.168.1.1

!

ip audit notify log

ip audit po max-events 100

no ftp-server write-enable

!

Hi,

the keyword 0 is inserted in the running config and it means that the following value is the unencrypted value.

Regards.
