Release Notes for Cisco 827 Routers
This document describes new and changed information for the Cisco 827 Routers Hardware Installation Guide and the Cisco 827 Routers Software Configuration Guide.
For last-minute updates to this release note, refer to the Cisco 827 routers documentation Web site at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_fix/index.htm.
ADSL Cable Requirements
The ADSL cable that you connect to the Cisco 827 router must be 10BaseT Category 5, unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Using regular telephone cable can introduce line errors.
DHCP Client Support
Follow these steps to configure the router for DHCP client support:
Step 1
Configure the BVI interface by entering the ip address dhcp client-id Ethernet 0 command.
Specifying the value client-id ethernet0 means that the MAC address of the Ethernet interface is used as the client ID when the DHCP request is sent. Otherwise, the MAC address of the BVI interface is used as the client ID.

The "Configuring the Dialer Interface" section in Chapter 3, "Feature-By-Feature Router Configurations," of the Cisco 827 Routers Software Configuration Guide has an incorrect router prompt in Step 4. The prompt should be Router(config-if).
Easy IP (Phase 1) Configuration
The "Configuring Easy IP (Phase 1)" section in Chapter 3, "Feature-By-Feature Router Configurations," of the Cisco 827 Routers Software Configuration Guide has an incorrect reference in Step 2. The task should refer to the access list defined in Step 1 rather than in Step 2.
MMI Support
The Modem Management Interface (MMI) is software that enables auto-provisioning for the Cisco 827 routers. The MMI uses a fixed PVC to communicate with the Proxy Element (PE) residing on the digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM). Using MMI, the Cisco 827 router updates the running image and downloads the prescribed configuration using a configuration file or configuration values in a provisioning information database.
Configuring MMI for Auto-Provisioning
The customer premise equipment (CPE) can be automatically configured using the Cisco DSL CPE download, but it can be configured only with the image provisioning feature. The following provisioning configuration files are not supported in this release:
•
•
•
Follow these steps to configure the router for MMI support in configure-terminal mode:
Step 1
mmi auto-configure
no mmi auto-configure
If this parameter is enabled, the router is provisioned by the PE. By default, this parameter is enabled.
If this parameter is disabled, the router is configured by the start up configuration file.
Step 2
mmi polling-interval time
where time is the number of seconds. The polling-interval range is from 1 to 65535, with the default set to 60 seconds.
Step 3
mmi pvc vpi/vci
where vpi/vci is the virtual path identifier/virtual channel identifier. The default PVC for MMI is 0/16 ilmi, but if it is not available, you must set the specific PVC for the router to communicate with the PE.
Step 4
mmi snmp-timeout time
where time is 1 to 1800 seconds, which is the allowed interval to download any two consecutive blocks. If you enter the no mmi snmp-timeout command, the default time is set to 180 seconds.
Step 5
dsl operating-mode auto
If the DSLAM is using a Cisco 4xDMT ADI-based card, enter the following command:
dsl operating-mode ansi-dmt
Step 6
debug mmi
Step 7

Multilink PPP and Interleaving
Multilink PPP fragments large data packets so that small voice packets can be interleaved within them. However, apart from first-in-first-out (FIFO) queuing, no other kind of output queuing mechanisms are currently supported with PPP over ATM. Consequently, when multilink PPP is configured on the Cisco 827 routers, the big packets are fragmented, but interleaving of small voice packets within them does not occur.
NAT Support for H.323 Signaling
Currently, NAT does not support alerting H.225 messages. Therefore, NAT communication cannot be established between the router end points.
NAT support for H.323 signaling is limited to the Netmeeting application.
PPP over AAL5SNAP Encapsulation Support
PPP over AAL5SNAP encapsulation is currently not supported, although the context-sensitive help mentions that it can be configured.
PPP over Ethernet Support
This feature supports the PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) client on an ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC). Only one PPPoE client on a single ATM PVC is supported. The PPPoE client over an ATM interface is supported for all 820 platforms.
The following figure depicts a typical deployment scenario for PPPoE support:
Figure 1 PPPoE Deployment Scenarios
A PPPoE session is initiated on the client side by the network described above. If the session has a timeout or is disconnected, the PPPoE client immediately attempts to reestablish the session.
Follow these steps to configure the router for PPPoE client support:

If you enter the clear vpdn tunnel pppoe command with a PPPoE client session already established, the PPPoE client session terminates and the PPPoE client immediately tries to reestablish the session.

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products
Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you might have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:
•
An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered nonemergencies.
•
In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:

Note
Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
