Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Introduction

This document provides a sample configuration for a Cisco 827 Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Router connected to a Cisco 6130 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), that terminates on a Cisco 6400 Universal Access Concentrator (UAC).

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

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

  • Cisco 827-4V customer premises equipment (CPE) with IOS® Software Release 12.1(1)XB.

  • Cisco 6400 UAC-NRP IOS Software Release 12.1(1)DC1 (external DHCP server) or 12.2(2)B (IOS DHCP server).

  • Cisco 6400 UAC-NSP IOS Software Release 12.0(4)DB.

  • Cisco 6130 DSLAM-NI2 IOS Software Release 12.1(1)DA.

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.

Background Information

The Cisco 827 is configured with RFC1483 Bridging and integrated routing and bridging (IRB). The Cisco 827 allows PCs on the Ethernet segment to obtain addresses from a DHCP server behind the 6400, or from the 6400 IOS DHCP server. In addition, the BVI address has also been configured to obtain an address and default route from the DHCP server. The Cisco 6400 asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) interface is configured with routed bridge encapsulation (RBE), and is configured to operate with either an external DHCP server or IOS DHCP server on the NRP.

For the Cisco 6400, the ATM RBE feature on the Cisco 6400 node route processor (NRP) routes IP over bridged RFC1483 Ethernet traffic from a stub-bridged LAN. Bridged IP packets received on an ATM interface configured in route-bridged mode are routed through the IP header. The interfaces take advantage of the characteristics of a stub LAN topology commonly used for DSL access, and offer increased performance and flexibility over IRB.

Also, host routes for DHCP clients are automatically added to the 6400 routing table as IP addresses are handed out. The host routes are removed from the routing table when the DHCP address is released.

Configure

In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the features described in this document.

Configurations

This document uses these configurations:

  • Cisco 827

  • Cisco 6400 NRP

  • 6400 Debug (Using RBE with External DHCP Server)

  • 6400 Debug (Using RBE with IOS DHCP Server)
