Hi

So our ISP upgraded some hardware and new dslam (probably some Siemens
system) and now Cisco 828 is unable to establish a link between that new
hardware. I have taken some debug logging from the router, and it seems
that Cisco gets the link for about a second or two, but after that the
dslam immediately drops the link. Before the upgrade everything was working
fine, and it would be great if I could get that Cisco router working again.
Would it be possible to upgrade the IOS with a newer version that could
solve the issue? Current version is:

IOS (tm) C828 Software (C828-Y6-M), Version 12.2(1)XE2, EARLY DEPLOYMENT
RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Synched to technology version 12.2(0.11)T

System image file is "flash:c828-y6-mz.122-1.XE2.bin"

CISCO C828 (MPC855T) processor (revision 0x201) with 31744K/1024K bytes of
memory.
Processor board ID JAD062106H0 (1489037529), with hardware revision 0000
CPU rev number 5

The debug log can be found here:
http://ihme.org/~miipekk/cisco.txt

The interface section in the config file looks like this (I have tried many
different settings with same success):

interface ATM0
ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
no atm ilmi-keepalive
pvc 0/100
encapsulation aal5snap
!
dsl equipment-type CPE
dsl operating-mode GSHDSL symmetric annex B
dsl linerate 2312
!

Lets hope there is something to do

did you try linerate auto ?

Yes, I tried that also but with the same results. Modem establishes a link
and even receives a few packets but suddenly (in 1s or so) the link drops
and all link leds go off.

Hi Miika,

Could it be a a problem with max packet size ( i.e. receives a few
packets before dropping ) ?

There seem to me to be a few possibilities.

1.
There is a low level dsl issue.
Solution - upgrage IOS

2.
The ISP no longer supports your settings but they did before
the change.

3.
The DSL level is OK however a higher level protocol at the ISP
end is getting upset at you and is tearing down the connection.

I have posted what we use in the UK for SDSL Internet.
This is an 878.

controller DSL 0
mode atm
line-term cpe
line-mode 2-wire line-zero
dsl-mode shdsl symmetric annex B
line-rate auto

interface ATM0
no ip address
ip virtual-reassembly
atm ilmi-keepalive
pvc 0/38
encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer
dialer pool-member 1

interface Dialer0
ip address negotiated
encapsulation ppp
dialer pool 1
dialer-group 1
ppp authentication chap callin
ppp chap hostname xxxx
ppp chap password 7 xxxxx
ppp ipcp dns request
crypto map xxx

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Dialer0


I have just noticed that there is no dialer-list
on this router but it is working???

Please post the outcome.

Thanks for the replies.

This seems to be the more likely issue as I have tried everything now I can
think about. Then the only problem would be how to get a new IOS as I don't
have any service contract with Cisco. I will try to contact them by email
to see if they could provide the IOS.

They did small changes but that doesn't seem to be the issue because ZyXEL
modem can establish a link even with incorrect settings but it has other
more serious issues which Cisco didn't have (for example halting data
connection for a few minutes several times a day and even the whole device
crashes and reboots once for a while).

If I have understood correctly, the link should stay up even with minimal
configuration (only ATM interface configured with correct DSL parameters).
It worked before but wont no longer.

This shouldn't be an issue as our ISP doesn't use PPP. It uses RFC1483
AAL5/LLC encapsulation that I have also enabled on the PVC.

Lets hope this great device still works one day again
