Configuring a Cisco 827 Router With a Single IP Address, DHCP, and PPPoA

Introduction

This sample configuration shows a Cisco 827 Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Router connecting to a Cisco 6130 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) and terminating on a Cisco 6400 Universal Access Concentrator (UAC). The Cisco 827 router has been configured as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server with Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM (PPPoA).

Components Used

The information in this document is based on the software and hardware versions below.

• Cisco 827-4V Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) IOS® Software Release 12.1(1)XB

• Cisco 6400 UAC-Node Route Processor (NRP) IOS Software Release 12.0(7)DC

The information presented in this document was created from devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If you are working in a live network, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command before using it.

Background Information

In this instance, the Internet Service Provider (ISP) has given the subscriber a single IP address (172.18.0.1) for Internet connectivity, but the subscriber has a small network of PCs and wants to have Internet access for all devices.

The solution shown here implements Network Address Translation (NAT) on the Cisco 827 router. NAT is designed for IP address simplification and conservation; it enables private IP internetworks that use nonregistered IP addresses to connect to the Internet. NAT operates on a router, usually connecting two networks, and translates the private (in this case the 10.0.0.0 network) addresses in the internal network to legal (in this case, 172.18.0.1) addresses before packets are forwarded to another network. As part of this functionality, NAT can be configured to advertise only one address (172.18.0.1) for the entire network. This provides additional security, effectively hiding the entire internal network behind a single IP address.

NAT serves the dual purposes of security and address conservation, and is typically implemented in remote access environments. In this example, an IP address of 10.0.0.1 is manually configured on the Ethernet interface of the Cisco 827 router. The Cisco 827 router is configured to act as a DHCP server, and leases IP addresses to local LAN devices attached to its Ethernet network.

The following configuration shows NAT configured for the Ethernet and ATM interfaces. The Ethernet interface (designated Ethernet0 in the network diagram below) has an IP address of 10.0.0.1, with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. NAT is configured for inside, which means that the interface is connected to the inside network that is subject to NAT translation. The ATM interface (designated Dialer0 in the network diagram below) has an IP address of 172.18.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. NAT on Dialer0 is configured for outside, which means that the interface is connected to an outside network such as the Internet.
