Cisco 877 with Demon Broadband - Help

I am trying toget a Cisco 877 router working on my Demon B'band connection. The Broadband works when I use a BT Voyager 220V so I know the service itself is OK. The configuration on the router works quite happily when attached to a standard BT B'band connection at another site.

The ATM0 link comes up and then drops a few moments later. The CD led lights up followed by a limited amount of activity on both RXD and TXD leds and then the whole cycle appears to repeat itself,

I am not au fait with debugging as ar as the adsl link goes.

Can anyone help/advise.

Many Thanks,

On 877 I have seen various DSL issues (but not your one). Worth trying

int atm 0 dsl operating-mode {all possibilities one by one} ! There are only a few:-)

Worth an IOS software upgrade too if you have support.

Otherwise you may consider:- DSL firmware can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/access/800/ Don't worry too much where it says the firmware release only supports a particular IOS - give it a try anyway.

Neither am I but this might help, if you haven't already read it.

I'm not using Demon but my 877 has a slightly different configuration. I have an ATM0.1 (sub) interface. I'd guess it isn't a significant difference but you might try it

interface ATM0 no ip address no ip redirects no ip unreachables no ip proxy-arp ip route-cache flow no atm ilmi-keepalive dsl operating-mode auto ! interface ATM0.1 point-to-point pvc 0/38 encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer dialer pool-member 1 ! !

...

interface Dialer0 ip address negotiated ip access-group 101 in no ip redirects no ip unreachables no ip proxy-arp ip inspect DEFAULT100 out ip nat outside ip virtual-reassembly encapsulation ppp ip route-cache flow dialer pool 1 dialer-group 1 no cdp enable ppp authentication chap callin ppp chap hostname xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ppp chap password 7 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx !

You'd obviously need to prune out the ACL references. The only other significant difference might be the omission of the 'ppp authentication chap callin' line?

You could also try saving your current config somewhere safe (e.g. TFTP server) and using SDM to generate a new config.

Caveat: I'm new to Cisco and not an expert.
