Introduction

The sample configuration described in this document enables a PC connected to a Cisco 675 Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) router to connect via a Cisco 6100 Advanced Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (ADSLAM) and Cisco LightStream® 1010 to a Cisco 7x00 series router using RFC1483 (Bridging). This configuration allows data to be routed to the Internet or other services. The specific equipment used in this configuration is not required. For example, the Cisco 675 can be replaced with a Cisco 677 or a Cisco 678. Also, the LightStream 1010 is an additional piece of equipment which is not necessary. If it were removed and the ADSLAM was directly connected to the 7x00 series router, the result would be the same.

This sample configuration shows RFC1483 Bridging set up between the Cisco 675 and the Cisco 7x00 routers. A PC connected at the customer premises obtains an IP address from the Cisco 7x00 router using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The default gateway is the Bridged Virtual Interface (BVI) on the Cisco 7x00 router. This allows the bridged packets to be routed as necessary. This configuration allows for a cookie cutter rollout. Because all the boxes have the same configuration, the cost of rollout and documentation is significantly reduced.

The code for the Cisco IOS®-based routers and switches can be copied and pasted to your configurations, but the 675 router uses the Cisco Broadband Operating System (CBOS) and this code cannot be copied and pasted. The commands for configuring the router are also included in this sample configuration.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on this hardware and services:

  • PC or workstation

  • Cisco 675 ADSL customer premises equipment (CPE)

  • ADSL service from your local Telco

  • Cisco 6100 ADSLAM with SCM, NI-1, CAP ATU-C

  • Cisco LightStream 1010

  • Cisco 7x00 series router

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

  • Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3c)W5(9) for LightStream 1010

  • Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)T for Cisco 7x00 series router

  • CBOS Release 2.3.0.053 for Cisco 675 ADSL router

  • Viewrunner 2.4.1

  • Sytem software 2.4.10 for Cisco 6100 ADSLAM

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.

Configurations

A permanent virtual connection (PVC) must be configured on the Cisco 6100 ADSLAM allowing the test subsciber to connect. The virtual path identifier/virtual channel identifier (VPI/VCI) configuration must be recorded for use on the Cisco 7x00 series router when you configure the ATM port and create the PVP on the Cisco LightStream 1010.

This sample configuration shows a virtual path on the Cisco LightStream 1010. This path allows the LS1010 to pass through the cells from the ADSLAM to the terminating router, or to another ATM switch.

PC Configuration

  1. Set IP addressing to obtain an IP address automatically.

  2. Set WINS to use DHCP for WINS resolution.

  3. Ensure that no default gateway is set.

  4. It might be necessary to set a domain name because DHCP cannot pass this information.

Verify

Use this section to confirm that your configuration works properly.

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.

Use these commands on the Cisco 7x00 series router:

  • show atm vc—Shows whether the correct PVC was established.

  • debug spantree events—Displays bridging topology events.

  • show spanning-tree—Shows the topology of the bridging structure.

Use these commands on the Cisco 675 CPE:

  • show interface wan0—Shows trained up speed for the DSL link.

  • show interface wan0-0—Shows RFC1483 information.
