Q in Q routing on 7200vxr

We are a small ISP that provides dsl service. The phone company is changing the data delivery to our router from ATM to Ethernet and I’m having trouble configuring a 7200 vxr to work with static IP’s on the end users.

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.10.10.230 10.10.10.254

!

ip dhcp pool test

   network 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0

   default-router 10.10.10.1

   dns-server 209.211.0.3

!

interface Loopback1

ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0

!

interface FastEthernet0/0.88

encapsulation dot1Q 3999 second-dot1q 88

ip unnumbered Loopback1

ip flow ingress

no snmp trap link-status

no cdp enable

We configure the dsl modem for bridge mode and configure the customer’s equipment. We are unable to statically assign IP's to our customers. If the customer's equipment is configured for a dynamic IP, this config works just fine. If the customer's equipment is configured for a static IP-either out of the  excluded-address range or the dhcp pool- it doesn't work.

The following config will work but it requires a separate subnet for each subinterface.

Remove the loopback1 interface:

!

interface FastEthernet0/0.88

encapsulation dot1Q 3999 second-dot1q 88 

ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0

ip flow ingress

no snmp trap link-status

no cdp enable

and configure the customer equipment with a static ip/netmask/gateway (10.10.10.2/255.255.255.0/10.10.10.1)

the only difference in this config is an ip address on the subinterface instead of using ip unnumbered Loopback1

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you tried using IRB (bvi interfaces with bridge groups)?

Yes I have tried IRB. In fact, that's how we do it currently over the ATM circuit.

Does the static work if you use a static arp entry on the router for the client mac/ip?  Do you see an arp request go out the correct interface if you run a debug arp? 

I like you had a hard time finding anything on this using your particular config but there was something on the 4500 that covers using unnumbered interfaces and the need for connected host polling for statically assigned addresses.

I tried to assign IP based on mac on a test system but was unable to get it to work. Does anyone have a working config for that?
