72.8. How to configure ADSL/VDSL connections using Ethernet modems

72.8. How to configure ADSL/VDSL connections using Ethernet modems
	Chapter 72. HowTo - Networking

Physical connection:

Connect a Ethernet cable from the Ethernet modem to an Abilis Ethernet port.
Connect the Ethernet modem to the telephone line using a standard RJ-11 cable.

	Important
	Ethernet modem limitations: Multiple VPI/VCI are not possible; PPPoA or IPoA routed are not possible.

Before proceeding with the configuration, make sure to have from your ISP the followings parameters:

Parameter	Possible values
Encapsulation	RFC 1483 or PPPoE or IPoE
Multiplexing	VC-Based or LLC-Based
VPI (Virtual Path Identifier)	8
VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier)	35
IP Address and Mask	Static (80.80.80.80/32) or Dynamic.
Login information (only for PPPoA or PPPoE encapsulation)	Username: provider_user Password: provider_pwd

	Note
	VPI/VCI is only for ADSL, and is configured as 8/35 on the Ethernet modem.

72.8.1. Ethernet: How to configure a PPPoE connection

Enter into the Abilis control-program or open the configuration file with the Console configurator and type the following commands.

a dev:eth-2	Add an Ethernet device (e.g. ETH-2).
a res:poecli-1	Add a POECLI resource (e.g. POECLI-1).
a res:ip-3 subtype:ppp	Add an “IP over PPP” resource (e.g. IP-3).
s p poecli-1 lowres:eth-2	Configure the ETH-2 as the lower POECLI-1 resource.
s p poecli-1 vlan-id:100	Optional if is required configure the VLAN Identifier (e.g. 100).
s p eth-2 max-vlans:1	Optional if is required the VLAN. Configure the max number of VLANs (e.g. 1).
s p ip-3 lowres:poecli-1	Configure the POECLI-1 as the IP-3 lower resource.
s p ip-3 ipadd:retrieve neigh:retrieve or s p ip-3 ipadd:80.80.80.80	Configure a dynamic IP address. or Configure a static IP address.
s p ip-3 username:provider_user password:provider_pwd	Configure the login information.
s p ip-3 dns:retrieve	Request DNS addresses from remote servers.
s p ip-3 tcp-mss-clamp:yes	Activate the TCP MSS clamping procedure.
s p ip-3 descr:DSL_PPPoE	Configure the description of the IP resource.
save conf	Save the configuration.

On a working Abilis, a system restart is required to make the ETH-2 device and the IP-3 resource running.

	Tip
	Remember to configure NAT settings.

Warning

	Warning
The VLAN is supported only for Ethernets that supports gigabit speed: Realtek RTL8169/8168/8110/8111, Broadcom BCM5754.
