Sample Configurations



CISCO IOS BRI IP Router to CPA 75x Router -PPP CHAP -static , Hidden

Main Site router

>set systemname HQConfigures a system name for the router - this name will be used during PPP negotiation with the other router
HQ>set ppp secret clientprompts for chap password
Enter Password: happy
ReEnter Password: happyPassword will be sent when challenged from the destination router
HQ>set encapsulation pppEnables ppp encapsulation for the router
HQ>set ppp authentication incoming chapConfigures PPP authentication based on incoming calls only. The "Incoming" is a system parameter and can not be set on a per-profile basis.
HQ>cd lanChanges directory in order to configure the LAN profile
HQ:LAN>set bridging offDisables bridging in the LAN profile
HQ:LAN>set ip routing onEnables ip routing in the LAN profile
HQ:LAN>set ip 198.52.110.254Configures the ip address for the LAN profile - or can be thought of as setting the ip address for the LAN interface
HQ:LAN>set subnet 255.255.255.0Configures the ip subnet mask for the LAN profile ip address
HQ>set user remoteCreates a user profile in order to configure parameters for outgoing/incoming calls - may also be refered to as the WAN interface for which the 750 series may have multiple virtual (accomplished by the use of different profiles) for the same physical interface
HQ:remote>set bridging offDisables bridging at the user profile
HQ:remote>set ip routing onEnables ip routing at the user profile
HQ:remote>set ip route destination 198.52.211.0/24 gateway 192.168.1.2Static routing statement for a hidden or otherwise known as a private Internet network (per rfc 1918). Private networks will not be propagated on the internet hence the use of static routes is required for these conncections. The command is used at the profile level: Set ip route destination (network number of the ip network on the BRI interface of the destination router) /24 (the number of bits in the subnet mask for the destination network) gateway (address of the BRI interface on the destination router, which in this case is a private internet network)
HQ:remote>set ip propagate offDetermines whether or not the route resulting from this interface will be propagated in RIP broadcasts. This is a profile-based command.
HQ:remote>set ip 192.168.1.1Configures the ip address of this particular profile. Will be associated with a connection when there is traffic associated with this network.
HQ:remote>set ip netmask 255.255.255.0Configures ip subnet mask for the profiles IP address
HQ:remote>set ip framing noneConfigures the encapsulation that IP packets will take. It only applies when IP routing is enabled. Note: Use "None" to set the packet framing to Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP). Choosing IPCP sets the framing to be used when connectinng to another router/IP host using PPP. Use "Ethernet_II" when connecting to another router using CPP (2060 series, 750, 760 series) Default is "Ether"
HQ:remote>set timeout 120Configures the amount of time in seconds before the ISDN line will be disconnected if there is no Ethernet activity.
HQ:remote>set 1 number 14085224567Configures the channel 1 phone number to be called when this profile is initiated
HQ:remote>set 2 number 14085224567Configures the channel 2 phone number to be called when this profile is initiated
HQ:remote>set ppp secret host (prompts for chap password)prompts for chap password
Enter Password: happyReEnter Password: happy
ReEnter Password: happyPassword will be sent when challenged from the destination router
HQ:remote>set ppp authentication outgoing chapConfigures PPP authentication based on outgoing calls only. It determines if any and what type of authentication is negotiated by LCP to authenticate the remote unit when using PPP. The "Outgoing" option is a profile parameter only.


Remote Site router

hostname remoteConfigures router name which will be used for negotiation purposes when PPP authentication is enabled. The name of this router is "remote". When configuring PPP authentication the destination router must have a username of "remote" (this is case sensitive so it must match exactly) and the same is true in terms of this router it needs the user name and password of the remote router (see below for further description)
username HQ password happyThe username "HQ" is the hostname of the destination router and is referenced in the dialer map command for authentication purposes. The username is case sensitive and must match the destination router's hostname exactly. The password happy is used as the ppp authentication password for the user HQ.
interface ethernet 0Shows the interface and its configuration (in this example it is only a header). This is also a command that changes the current location into the interface defined, which in this case is ethernet 0. After changing into an interface, you may enter all needed config commands.
ip address 198.52.211.254 255.255.255.0Configures the ip address and subnet mask for interface E0 or ethernet 0
interface bri 0Shows the interface and its configuration (in this example it is only a header). This is also the command that changes the current location into the interface defined, which in this case is bri 0. After changing into an interface, you may enter all needed config commands.
ip address 192.168.1.2 255..255.255.0Configures the ip address and subnet mask for interface bri0 or basic rate interface 0.
encapsulation pppEnables ppp encapsulation in order to negotiate ppp
dialer idle-timeout 300This command specifies the idle number in seconds. This is the time the connection will remain open if no interesting traffic is being routed across this link. The timer is reset each time an interesting packet is forwarded across the ISDN connection. The idle-timeout should be set to the same value on both routers. In this example, the line will drop after 5 consecutive minutes without interesting traffic.
dialer map ip 192.168.1.1 name HQ broadcast 14085221234Dialer map command uses the name of the destination router to authenticate the dialed router and if authentication is successful will map the bri 0 interface to the destination router. It will use the phone number at the end of the map statement to start the call. Again the name of the destination router in this case "HQ" is case sensitive and must match the actual name of the destination router. Broadcast enables broadcast packets to be forwarded to this address. (i.e. IP, RIP or IGRP updates) To use multilink ppp which enables the use of both B channels for traffic you must enter a second dialer map with the second phone of the destination routers 2nd B channel.
dialer-group 1The dialer-group 1 command associates this interface with the dialer-list 1 definition (explained later in this description). The interface will now consider anything defined in dialer-list 1 as interesting traffic and initiate a call if there is not a connection already.
ppp authentication chapEnables ppp authentication via chap (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol)
ppp multilinkEnables ppp multilink which allows the use of both B channels for traffic.
ip route 198.52.110.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1Creates a static route to the network 198.52.110.0. This is a global command entered at the "router name(config)#" prompt and is not valid at the interface prompt.
dialer-list 1 protocol ip permitThis command defines a dialer list to control dialing by protocol or by a combination of protocol and access list. This is a global command entered at the "router name(config)#" prompt
