Cisco 877 - Possible to assign multiple dialers to a single PVC?

Hi,

I have been trying to configure multiple dialers to connect from a
Single PVC in my Cisco 877 but not having any luck.

My Atm0 is configured as follows:

interface ATM0
description --- ADSL ---
no ip address
no atm ilmi-keepalive
pvc 8/35
tx-ring-limit 3
encapsulation aal5snap
pppoe max-sessions 2
protocol ppp dialer
dialer pool-member 1

My dialer0 and dialer1 is configured as follows:

interface Dialer0
description --- ADSL PPP1 ---
ip address negotiated
ip access-group 102 in
no ip unreachables
ip nat outside
ip inspect Internet in
ip inspect Internet out
ip virtual-reassembly
encapsulation ppp
dialer pool 1
dialer-group 1
ppp chap hostname username
ppp chap password password
service-policy output high-priority-policy

interface Dialer1
description --- ADSL PPP2 ---
ip address negotiated
ip access-group 102 in
no ip unreachables
ip nat outside
ip inspect Internet in
ip inspect Internet out
ip virtual-reassembly
encapsulation ppp
dialer pool 1
dialer-group 1
ppp chap hostname username
ppp chap password password
service-policy output high-priority-policy

Dialer0 has no problem authenticating, however nothing happens when I do
a "no shut" on Dialer1.

At this stage I am not sure if what I am trying to do is simply not
possible or if my configuration is wrong somewhere.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Thanks

 

AFAIK, each IOS-based PPPOE client requires a separate PVC, a separate
dialer interface and a separate dialer pool.


IOS 12.4(15)T introduced a feature for Multiple PPPoE Client which
supports multiple PPPOE on a single PVC
