Introduction

ISDN digital subscriber line (IDSL) is a leased line ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) that is not switched and does not contain signaling (a D-channel). IDSL and ISDN BRI use the same 2B1Q line modulation. On the router, this equates to the placement of the BRI interface in a leased line configuration. You can configure the line for a speed of 64 kbps, 128 kbps, or 144 kbps.

The frames that go across the wire are standard high-level data link control (HDLC) frames. You can configure either PPP or Frame Relay encapsulation for the leased line BRI interface. Consider the BRI interface as a synchronous serial port that runs at a slow speed.

Prerequisites

Requirements

These items are required in order to use IDSL:

A router that supports the isdn leased-line global configuration command and has a BRI interface.
A digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM) with IDSL interfaces to terminate the other side of the connection.

Currently, Cisco has eight-port IDSL cards to use in the Cisco 6160 DSLAM. Support for the 6130 DSLAM is planned. The difference is that the Cisco 6130 supports only four ports per IDSL card.
Speed and encapsulation that matches the DSLAM configuration.

There are only a few types of IDSL DSLAMs. Therefore, it is easy to connect to the equipment of other vendors.
Only one pipe at 64 kbps, 128 kbps, or 144 kbps.

Cisco does not support a BRI interface which is channelized into two leased-line pipes.

Configure a CPE for a Remote User

This section explains how to configure a CPE for a remote user.

In this section, you are presented with the information you can use to configure the features described in this document.

Note: In order to find additional information on the commands used in this document, use the Command Lookup Tool (registered customers only) .

Network Diagram

This document uses this network setup:

Step-by-Step Instructions

In order to configure a router with a BRI interface for IDSL, complete these steps:

Add these commands:
```
isdn leased-line bri [#] [128|144]
!
interface bri [#]
  no shut
!
```
At this point the line comes up, but not the line protocol (like a serial port).

Do not issue the show isdn status command. It is irrelevant since there is not a D-channel. It sometimes shows that Layer 1 is down when it is not down.
Issue a show int bri[#] command and follow the rules of a serial interface in terms of line protocol and line status.

Add the PPP or Frame Relay configuration.

This example shows the PPP configuration:

isdn leased-line bri 0 128
!
username b-nrp password 0 cisco

!--- b-nrp is the username assigned to the ISDN router !--- to authenticate with the ISP. !--- cisco is the password assigned to the ISDN router !--- to authenticate with the ISP.

!
!
interface BRI0
 ip address 7.7.7.2 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
 ppp authentication chap
!

These two examples show Frame Relay configuration. Make sure that you use Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) encapsulation.

Example 1

!
interface BRI0/0
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
 no ip directed-broadcast
 encapsulation frame-relay IETF
 fair-queue 64 16 0
 frame-relay map ip 10.0.0.2 300 broadcast IETF
 frame-relay lmi-type ansi
!

Example 2

!
interface BRI0/0
 no ip address
 no ip directed-broadcast
 encapsulation frame-relay IETF
 fair-queue 64 16 0
 frame-relay lmi-type ansi
!
interface BRI0/0.300 point-to-point
 ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
 no ip directed-broadcast
 frame-relay interface-dlci 300 IETF
!

Note: Remember that there is no signaling, dialer interface, dialer lists, dialer strings, and no dialer maps. This is a dedicated line like a dedicated T1 serial line. The only difference is that 2B1Q modulation is used instead of V.35, which is used for data service unit/channel service unit (DSU/CSU).

If the line protocol does not come up for PPP, issue these debug commands:

debug ppp negotiation
debug ppp authentication
debug ppp error

Configure the Telco NI2 DSLAM

The NI2 DSLAM configuration assumes a knowledge of a DSL and ATM configuration, that includes PPP over ATM (PPPoA). The IDSL configuration is more in-depth than an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) or single-line digital subscriber line (SDSL) setup.

In order to use IDSL cards in the DSLAM, Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(2)DA or later is required.

On the DSLAM, the ADSL and SDSL interfaces are shown in the configuration as ATM interfaces. The Cisco implementations of ADSL and SDSL use ATM. However, IDSL uses HDLC frames in order to transport data. As a result, the interfaces appear as IDSL interfaces in the configuration.

For one IDSL card in a Cisco 6160 DSLAM, the configuration looks like this output:

!
interface IDSL3/1
 no ip address
 no logging event link-status
 no arp frame-relay
!
interface IDSL3/2
 no ip address
 no logging event link-status
 no arp frame-relay
!
interface IDSL3/3
 no ip address

no logging event link-status
 no arp frame-relay
!
interface IDSL3/4
 no ip address
 no logging event link-status
 no arp frame-relay
!
interface IDSL3/5
 no ip address
 no logging event link-status
 no arp frame-relay
!
interface IDSL3/6
 no ip address
 no logging event link-status
 no arp frame-relay
!
interface IDSL3/7
 no ip address
 no logging event link-status
 no arp frame-relay
!
interface IDSL3/8
 no ip address
 no logging event link-status
 no arp frame-relay
!

Note: NI1 DSLAM platforms do not support IDSL and there is no plan to provide this support.

Convert HDLC Frames to ATM Cells

For every IDSL interface there is a pseudo ATM interface. On the hardware, the HDLC frames are converted to ATM cells before they are switched by the NI2 ATM fabric.

For PPP, define a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) that has a destination virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI). A source VCI/VPI is not required because there is only one connection for PPP.

For Frame Relay, set up sixteen PVCs, which translate into sixteen data-link connection identifiers (DLCIs). The configuration involves the provision of a source DLCI number and a destination VPI/VCI pair.

There are two major steps in a DSL configuration. For the PPP configuration, they are:

Set up the IDSL DSL profile.
Set up the PVC/SVC under the IDSL interface.

In addition, set up Quality of Service (QoS) for the IDSL link so that the ATM resources that go to the IDSL ports are used properly. Calculate the overhead for ATM framing. This table shows the maximum ATM peak cell rate/sustainable cell rate (PCR/SCR) that you need to configure for the equivalent IDSL bitrate.

IDSL Bitrate Configured (kbps)	Max ATM PCR/SCR (kbps)
56	71
64	81
128	163
144	183

These PPP options are available for the IDSL profile:

idsl bitrate [56 | 64 | 128 | 144] 
idsl encapsulation [cisco-ppp | llc-ppp | mux-ppp ]

The bitrate must match the bitrate of the CPE. The encapsulation designates the type of PPPoA encapsulation that terminates at the aggregator.

This is the syntax used to create a PVC that connects to the IDSL PPP termination:

ppp pvc interface atm 0/x [VPI] [VCI]

There is no input PVC because the PPP link has only one connection. ATM 0/x is the ATM pipe out of the DSLAM to the aggregator.

In order to set up QoS parameters, use this global command. Use the PCR/SCR table for pcr and scr10 values.

atm connection-traffic-table-row index [row #] vbr-nrt pcr [#] scr10 [#]

In order to apply these values to the IDSL PVC, change ppp pvc interface atm 0/x [VPI] [VCI] to ppp pvc interface atm 0/x [VPI] [VCI] rx-cttr [row #] tx-cttr [row #] .

A PPP IDSL configuration that uses 128 Kbps and llc-ppp encapsulation to the aggregator is:

atm connection-traffic-table-row index 128 vbr-nrt 
pcr 163 scr10 163
!
dsl-profile idsl1
 idsl encapsulation llc-ppp
 
!--- 128 kbps is the default.

!
!
interface IDSL3/1
 dsl profile idsl1
 ppp pvc interface ATM0/1 3 300 rx-cttr 128 tx-cttr 128
!

Configure the Aggregator for PPP Encapsulation

If the DSLAM is configured for encapsulation llc-ppp under the IDSL profile (or nothing is set for encapsulation because this is default), then the aggregator needs to have this configuration:

!
interface ATM0/0/0.300 point-to-point
 no ip directed-broadcast
 pvc 3/300
  encapsulation aal5snap
  protocol ppp Virtual-Template10
 !
!

If the DSLAM is configured for encapsulation cisco-ppp, change the configuration to:

!
interface ATM0/0/0.300 point-to-point
 no ip directed-broadcast
 pvc 3/300
  encapsulation aal5ciscoppp Virtual-Template10
 !
!

If the DSLAM is configured for IDSL encapsulation mux-ppp, make sure that the configuration on the aggregator is:

!
interface ATM0/0/0.300 point-to-point
 no ip directed-broadcast
 pvc 3/300
  encapsulation aal5mux ppp Virtual-Template10
 !
!

Configure Frame Relay

For the Frame Relay configuration, the two major steps are the same as in the PPP configuration.

Set up the IDSL DSL profile.
Set up the PVC/SVC under the IDSL interface.

For the QoS on the Frame Relay link, no special conversion is necessary. Set the maximum rate in the connection-table-row so that it matches the bandwidth defined on the CPE.

For the IDSL profile, these are the options for Frame Relay:

idsl bitrate [56 | 64 | 128 | 144] 
idsl frame-relay ? 
     bc-default   Default Bc in bytes 
     lmi-n392dce  LMI error threshold 
     lmi-n393dce  set LMI monitored event count 
     lmi-t392dce  set DCE polling verification timer 
     lmi-type     Use CISCO-ANSI-CCITT type LMI 
     upc-intent   UPC to use on Soft-VCs/PVCs

In order to enable Frame Relay encapsulation, you also must add the idsl encapsulation frame-relay command.

This syntax creates a PVC that connects to the IDSL Frame Relay termination:

frame-relay pvc [DLCI] service translation interface atm0/1 [VPI] [VCI]

There also is a transparent parameter that is not discussed in this document. The translation keyword translates the Frame Relay DLCI defined into the ATM PVC defined. The ATM PVC is an AAL5SNAP PVC.

In order to set up the QoS parameters, use this global command:

frame-relay connection-traffic-table-row index [row #] [CIR] [Burst] [PIR] vbr-rt

Usually, CIR=PIR equals the bandwidth defined in the IDSL profile for the link. The burst rate is usually at the maximum of 32,768 bps.

In order to apply these values to the IDSL PVC, change frame-relay pvc [DLCI] service translation interface atm0/1 [VPI] [VCI] to frame-relay pvc [DLCI] rx-cttr [Row #] tx-cttr [Row #] service translation interface atm0/1 [VPI] [VCI].

A Frame Relay IDSL configuration that uses 128 Kbps with lmi-type ANSI is:

!
dsl-profile idslframe
 idsl encapsulation frame-relay
 idsl frame-relay lmi-type ansi
!
frame-relay connection-traffic-table-row index 128 128000 32768
128000 vbr-rt
!
!
interface IDSL2/2
 no ip address
 dsl profile idslframe
 no arp frame-relay
 frame-relay pvc 300 rx-cttr 128 tx-cttr 128 service translation 
interface  ATM0/1 3 300
!

Configure the Aggregator for Frame Relay Encapsulation

For Frame Relay encapsulation on the CPE side, the DSLAM converts the Frame Relay PVC to an ATM PVC. The ATM PVC is encapsulated in AAL5SNAP.

For a routed Frame Relay PVC:

!
interface ATM0/0/0.300 point-to-point
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
 pvc 3/300
  encapsulation aal5snap
  protocol ip (inarp) broadcast
 !
!

Similar to other cards that are inserted into the DSLAM chasis, the IDSL card probably needs to be manually designated in the NI2 configuration.

DSLAM(config)#slot 2 ituc-1-8IDSL

After the IDSL card is inserted, issue a show oir status command in order to show the status of the code downloaded to the card.

DSLAM#show oir status 2
Slot 2: timer stopped delay 100

Troubleshoot IDSL Frame Relay Connections

This section provides the information you can use in order to troubleshoot your configuration.

Troubleshoot Commands

Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only) , which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.

Note: Before you issue debug commands, refer to Important Information on Debug Commands.

show frame lmi—Displays statistics about the Local Management Interface (LMI).
debug frame lmi—Determines if LMI packets are properly sent and received.
show frame-relay pvc—Displays PVC statistics for Frame Relay interfaces.
show frame map—Displays the current map entries and information about the connections.
show frame-relay interface resource—Displays QoS parameters.
show interface idsl—Displays Frame Relay statistics.
show atm vc interface—Displays the pseudo ATM interface behind the IDSL interface.

In order to troubleshoot an IDSL BRI port connection, use the same commands used to troubleshoot a serial port.

Router#show frame lmi

In order to see QoS parameters, issue the show frame-relay interface resource command.

DSLAM#show frame-relay interface resource idSL 2/1

Issues and Bugs

PPP over Frame Relay is not supported for the Cisco 800 series for IDSL.

If you wish to use a Cisco router for an IDSL application and the router runs a Cisco IOS Software Release earlier than 12.1, you must configure the ISDN switch type. Refer to Configuring Cisco Routers for Use with IDSL for more information.

If you do not configure the ISDN switch type, the BRI interface of the router probably does not come back up after the IDSL line goes down and back up. In order to prevent this problem, issue the isdn switch-type basic-ni command while in global configuration mode.

This problem does not occur if the Cisco router runs Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1 or later.
