Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)

Introduction

In this implementation, your Cisco Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Router is unable to provide value-added services and acts as a simple Asymetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) to Ethernet bridge. Therefore, you must load Point-to-Point-Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) client software on each PC on the LAN that requires access to the Internet.

Tip: If you are not familiar with configuring Cisco devices and would like to follow a step-by-step configuration, refer to Step-by-Step Configuration of a PC Acting as a PPPoE Client.

Tasks to Perform

• Configure the ATM interface (the ADSL interface) of the Cisco DSL Router with an ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC) and encapsulation.

• Configure bridging on your Cisco DSL Router.

• Disable IP routing on your Cisco DSL Router.

• Load PPPoE client software on each PPPoE client PC.

• Configure each PPPoE client per instructions from the software vendor or Internet Service Provider (ISP); for example, domain name, username, and password).
