Introduction

The Cisco 1700, 2600, and 3600 Series Routers support the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) WAN Interface Card (WIC). All three platforms are configured essentially the same. However, there are differences in hardware and in the Cisco IOS® Software Release that is required for each one. Throughout this document, the Cisco 1700, 2600, and 3600 are called the “Cisco ADSL WIC.”

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

- Cisco 6400 UAC-NRP IOS Software Release 12.1(3)DC1

- Cisco 6400 UAC-NSP IOS Software Release 12.1(3)DB

- Cisco 6130 DSLAM-NI2 IOS Software Release 12.1(5)DA

To support the ADSL WIC on the Cisco 2600/3600, this hardware is required:

2600

3600

Chassis WIC slots

NM-1FE1R2W

NM-2W

NM-1FE2W

NM-2FE2W

NM-2W

Important: For the Cisco 3600, this hardware does not support the ADSL WIC:

- NM-1E1R2W

- NM-1E2W

- NM-2E2W

To support the ADSL WIC, at least these Cisco IOS Software Releases are required:

- Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(5)YB (Plus versions only) on the Cisco 2600/3600

- Cisco IOS Software Release IOS 12.1(3)XP or later (Plus versions or ADSL feature set only) on the Cisco 1700. The ADSL feature set is identified by “y7” in the image name. For example, c1700-sy7-mz.121-3.XP.bin.

- When you download the image for the Cisco 1700, make sure that you select the image name of 1700. Do not download a 1720 or a 1750 image. These features do not support the ADSL WIC.

To support Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), you must have the ADSL+PLUS feature set. The ADSL-only feature set does not support PPPoE on the Cisco 1700.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Background Information

In Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(3)XG, a PPPoE client feature is introduced for the Cisco ADSL WIC. This feature allows the PPPoE functionality to be moved to the router. Multiple PCs can be installed behind the Cisco ADSL WIC. Before their traffic is sent to the PPPoE session, it can be encrypted, filtered, and so forth. Also, Network Address Translation (NAT) can run.

This document shows a PPPoE client configured on the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) interface (the DSL interface) of the Cisco ADSL WIC.

The configuration on the Cisco 6400 node route processor (NRP) can also be used on another router used as an aggregator and with an ATM interface.

Configure

This section provides information to configure the features described in this document.

Note: To find additional information about the commands in this document, use the Command Lookup Tool (registered customers only) .

Configurations

PPPoE is configured on the Cisco ADSL WIC with the virtual private dial-up network (VPDN) commands. Ensure that you configure these commands first.

Note: For information about how to change the size of the maximum transmission unit (MTU), refer to Troubleshooting MTU Size in PPPoE Dialin Connectivity.

Troubleshoot

Use this section to troubleshoot your configuration.

The Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only) (OIT) supports certain show commands. Use the OIT to view an analysis of show command output.

Note: Refer to Important Information on Debug Commands before you use debug commands.

Debug the PPPoE Client

To debug the PPPoE client on the Cisco ADSL WIC or Cisco 6400, you must consider the protocol stack. You can start at the bottom to troubleshoot.

1. DSL Physical Layer:

Make sure the line is up and trained.

show interface atm0

ATM0 is up, line protocol is up

Hardware is PQUICC_SAR (with Alcatel ADSL Module)

show dsl interface atm0

!--- Look for “Showtime” in the first few lines.

ATU-R (DS)

ATU-C (US)

Modem Status:    Showtime (DMTDSL_SHOWTIME)

2. ATM Layer:

If the ATM interface is up, issue the debug atm packet command to see if anything comes in from the ISP.

Note: You do not see outgoing packets with this command because of the way the packets are processed.

You need to see output similar to this, with the same Type, SAP, CTL, and OUI fields that show that the incoming ATM packet is AAL5SNAP:

debug atm packet

03:21:32: ATM0(I):

VCD:0x2 VPI:0x1 VCI:0x1 Type:0x0 SAP:AAAA CTL:03 OUI:0080C2 TYPE:0007 Length:0x30

03:21:32: 0000 0050 7359 35B7 0001 96A4 84AC 8864 1100 0001 000E C021 09AB 000C 0235

03:21:32: 279F 0000 0000

03:21:32:

3. Ethernet Layer:

Complete Ethernet frames are in the AAL5SNAP packets. There is no debug Ethernet packet command. However, you need to perform some VPDN debugs (PPPoE debugs for Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(13)T or later) to see the PPPoE frames.

For reference, an Ethernet frame which is a PPPoE frame contains one of these two Ethertypes:

- 0x8863 Ethertype = PPPoE control packet (handles the PPPoE session)

- 0x8864 Ethertype = PPPoE data packet (contains PPP packets)

One important note is that there are two sessions in PPPoE. The PPPoE session, which is a VPDN L2TP type session, and the PPP session. In order to establish PPPoE, you have a PPPoE session establishment phase and a PPP session establishment phase.

Termination usually involves a PPP termination phase and a PPPoE termination phase.

The PPPoE establishment phase identifies the PPPoE client and server (the MAC addresses) and assigns a session ID. After that is complete, the normal PPP establishment occurs just like any other PPP connection.

To debug, use VPDN PPPoE debugs (PPPoE debugs for Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(13)T or later) to determine if the PPPoE connect phase is successful.

#debug vpdn pppoe-events (debug pppoe events)

06:17:58: Sending PADI: vc=1/1

!--- A broadcast Ethernet frame (in this case encapsulated in ATM) !--- requests a PPPoE server, “Are there any PPPoE servers out there?”

06:18:00:  PPPOE: we've got our pado and the pado timer went off

!--- This is a unicast reply from a PPPoE server !--- (very similar to a DHCP offer).

06:18:00: OUT PADR from PPPoE tunnel

!--- This is a unicast reply that accepts the offer.

06:18:00: IN PADS from PPPoE tunnel

!--- This is a confirmation and completes the establishment.

The PPP establishment begins as any other PPP initiation. After the PPPoE session is established, issue show vpdn commands (show pppe session for Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(13)T or later) to get the status.

4. PPP Layer:

After the PPPoE session is established, the PPP debugs are the same for any other PPP establishment.

The same debug ppp negotiation and debug ppp authentication commands are used. This is sample output.

Note: In this sample, the hostname is “client1.” The name of the remote Cisco 6400 is “nrp-b.”

Debug the PPPoE Server

To debug the Cisco 6400 (the PPPoE server), use the same bottom-up procedure that is used for the Cisco ADSL WIC (the client). The difference is in the DSL physical layer, where you need to check the DSLAM.

1. DSL Physical Layer:

To check the DSL physical layer, you need to see the DSL statistics on the DSLAM. For Cisco DSLAMs, issue the show dsl interface command.

2. ATM Layer:

On the Cisco 6400 side, you can also issue a debug atm packet command. Enable the Cisco 6400 for a specific PVC.

debug atm packet interface atm 0/0/0.182 vc 1/82

You need to see output similar to this, with the same Type, SAP, CTL, and OUI fields that show that the incoming ATM packet is AAL5SNAP:

4d04h: ATM0/0/0.182(I):

VCD:0x3 VPI:0x1 VCI:0x52 Type:0x900 SAP:AAAA CTL:03 OUI:0080C2 TYPE:0007 Length:0x30

4d04h: 0000 0001 96A4 84AC 0050 7359 35B7 8864 1100 0001 000E C021 0A2E 000C 65E3

4d04h: 15E5 0000 0000

Note: You do not see outgoing packets with this command because of the way the packets are processed.

3. Ethernet Layer:

The same VPDN show commands and debugs used on the Cisco ADSL WIC can be used on the Cisco 6400 to look at the PPPoE establishment.
