DSL test lab w/ WIC-1ADSL

Hi folks,
I regularly configure Cisco 800-series routers for field deployment, and I'd love to be able to run through some simulations on the 8x7 ADSL series (837 and 877) in my test lab. I also have a few WIC-1ADSL modules for my 2600/2800 routers.
I know that you can do back-to-back configurations with GHDSL wics, but it doesn't seem to be possible with the internal ADSL modems on the 800's and/or the WIC-1ADSL's.
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I'm looking for the easiest & cheapest way to connect two 8x7's to each other via the ADSL (RJ-11) port, and/or to a WIC-1ADSL.
I'm not necessarily interested in recreating/simulating an entire service-provider infrastructure (yet ;-), my initial goal is just straight connectivity. I'm /not/ familiar with ATM switch or DSLAM specs or configuration, but I'm willing to learn, however I can't spend days and days bringing myself up to speed. Again, getting the connectivity between the CPE devices is primary; the guts of DSL and any required jury-rigging are secondary.
Thanks!

The Cisco 850 series and Cisco 870 series routers support the dial backup function, which allows a user to connect an analog modem to the console port as a backup link to the WAN port in case the ADSL service goes down.

  • 2811 w/ WIC-1ADSL-I-DG PPPoA issue

    Hello:
    I have been trying to test our new office gear prior to move, specifically the DSL WIC card.
    It seems I have all the config correct but I fail to negotiate link and I am not getting much info from a debug standpoint leading me to believe: -1- PPP isn't quite set up correctly -2- the WIC is possibly bad.
    Would it be possible for someone to review my config since I can find nothing on the web that serves as a decent example of using this WIC card with Qwest?
    DETAILS:
    Info pulled from my old Actiontec modem for testing purposes:
    VPI/VCI = 0/32
    DSL Mode = MMODE
    DSL Negotiated Mode = T1.413
    Up/down = 7168/896
    ATM QoS class = UBR
    The connection is doing PPPoA, evidently it is using PAP per my ISP (qwest does the local loop, my own ISP the VC termination and routing)
    Cisco 2811 and WIC setup:
    interface ATM0/1/0
    description QWEST DSL - circuit id:
    no ip address
    no ip mroute-cache
    shutdown
    no atm ilmi-keepalive
    dsl operating-mode auto
    dsl enable-training-log
    pvc 0/32
    encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer
    dialer pool-member 1
    interface Dialer1
    ip address negotiated
    encapsulation ppp
    dialer pool 1
    ppp authentication pap
    ppp pap sent-username <username_goes_here> password 0 <passwd_goes_here>
    Additionally, it would be helpful if you provided what all the 'Modem States' are. For example, Modem state = 0x8 is in many docs but you don't say anything about 0x3. Its helpful to know all the codes for Modem state if your going to recommend doing debugs of atm events for troubleshooting. Hence, the post to the forum. I can't get link and everything appears to be set up properly.
    Thanks for the insight/answers.

    No, I am afraid we don't do ADSL over ISDN. My boss ordered the equipment and I think the reseller wasn't too bright.
    So would I be correct that I am going to have to have a WIC-1ADSL or a HWIC-1ADSL?
    I see that this ADSL over ISDN card we have currently does support T1.413, but given I can't get link I am guessing that is only T1.413 when over ISDN so I have to use one of the other types of WICs listed above if this is over POTS.
    If someone from Cisco or otherwise can confirm that would be great so I can go ahead and get the right card shipped to us ASAP.
    Thanks for the assist,
    -Jeff
    Thanks for pointing that out. I suspected it might be the issue but have not ordered or touched many DSL WICs in my day, only the bigger chassis's that terminate the traffic on the provider end.

  • WIC-1ADSL Won't No Shut in 1751V

    Installed a new WIC-1ADSL in my 1751V yesterday. It sees the card fine, but I cannot get the IF to talk to the line. SO, I do a debug and get the following:
    01:44:29: DSL: No response on write to 0x0
    01:44:29: DSL(ATM0): Could not download ASW_init_3_8_131.bin

    01:44:41: DSL(ATM0): Unexpected response 0x0 to ASW_init_3_8_131.bin
    I am not familiar with this error, nor could I find any indications, other than that a
    failure to come up appears to point to an error in framing configuration.
    Would you be kind enough to give me some potential pointers on how to best deal with this error? Is the ASW_init a file that would work if I load a new IOS in the machine, and if not, where would it be drawn from?

  • WIC 1ADSL configuration

    Hi everybody,
    we bought a used Cisco 1841  router with a WIC 1ADSL module and I am asked to configure it so that we can connect to Internet using our ADSL phone line.
    Actually, I started via commands with some configurations found on the internet but it is not working.
    I wanted to try via SDM interface, but could not launch and I don't know why.
    Please anyone who deals with such a configuration or anybody who well knows about that kind of configuration will be very welcome.
    Thank you a lot
    NB: Informations got from my Broadband operator are:
    login: MY_LOGIN
    password: MY_PASSWORD
    We got our LAN's individual IP address dynamically from our operator using its given setup box.
    and the ranges are:
     reserved: 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.9
    usable: 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.100
    I hope the above informations will help.
    Thank you again.

  • 2821 Router with wic-1ADSL card

    I am trying to verify a code that will recognize a WIC-1ADSL card in a 2821. The Cisco Software tool page shows that 12.4.10 IPVOICE code has support for this but the card is not seen on the router. When I try the enterprise version 12.4.9(T1) It does't see that card either but shows a VPN module??
    Does anyone know what release will work? I am replacing 2620 routers (12.3.19) that have these cards in them for Disaster Recovery. I need support for ADSL- Asymetric Digital Subscriber Line support.

  • Equipment for building test lab

    Hello all,
    I'm looking for a little input on the two options I'm weighing for building my virtual test lab. If at all possible, I would rather not have my daily PC running my virtual lab, but I leave that option open. I'm thinking of purchasing a Dell PowerEdge 2950 II
    (from ebay), installing Windows Server 2008 R2, installing VM VirtualBox so that I can set up an Active Directory environment to prepare me for the MCITP exams. This option would allow me to conserve the resources of my daily PC. If I were to use my daily
    PC (I7 quad, 3GB RAM, 80GB SSD, and 1TB storage with only 200GB of free space) I would more than likely have increase RAM and buy another HDD to store the VMs. How much more trouble would it be to go the PowerEdge 2950 II route?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    We recommend that you review the Windows Catalog to identify servers that are qualified for use with Hyper-V. You can identify systems that support the x64 architecture and
    Hyper-V by searching the Windows Server catalog. Personal advice is you’d better to buy the 2950III
    it’s the newer product.

  • UCCX 8.0 in test Lab

    Hello Folks,
    I'm going to install UCCX 8.0 in a test lab and I'm wondering what hardware other are using?
    I'm presuming that it needs ESXi4.0?  Do you have to use the full production specification of 2 x vCPU and 4GB RAM?  Or can you cut down the resources like you can for Call Manager in VMware?
    All advice greatfully received!
    LH

    Hello fella,
    Things are going pretty well at the moment.  How about yourself?
    I've not seen Daz for a little while now.  He's still over at Azzuri though!
    I've had a shot at installing UCCX into VMware Server 1.x and ESXi 3.5, but it keeps spitting out "The hardware you are using is not supported for this product".  I've had a shot at opening the ISO to have a look at what version of VMware it's expecting, but all of the HWXXXX files in \Cisco\vendor seem to be blank and just show "NULL" or blank when I open them.  Maybe that's why my hardware isn't supported if the file is knackered!
    Did you do anything special and do you know if those files are ok on your copy of UCCX?
    Hope you're not working too hard ;-)

    One of our test lab went nearly up to the last point but we have been unable to get rid of the error : access denied by the remote end point when we test the certificate web enrolment. This error seems well known but not the solution and the reason why.
    On two other similar Test labs we had errors with certificate invalid while asking the certificate Internet Server while it was the same as the one which was working above! This was strange as we used the clone of the certificate working on the previous
    lab.
    the other third error was below.....
    We are sure that some of you have been able to get rid of these kind of errors so as to have a final lab running properly to be able to build POC on client's premises.
    Kind regards

    Hi all
    We have rebuilt a fourth TLG without using PowerShell and with only the GUI. Everything is working now.....
    If anyone as an idea why,  he will be welcome! It's not encouraging for using the scripts!

  • VMware test lab tasks?

    http://www.virtualizationadmin.comis a good place to start. The site has a lot of great information on your virtualization needs. Even has step by step instruction how to setup your first virtual machine.Check out the link below for info on VMware ESXi 5.5 with Ubuntu:http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/vmware-esx-and-vsphere-articles/installation-a...

    Hey everybody, I'm new to virtualization and my boss got me set up on a test lab. He had me install it and then install Ubuntu. He's been pretty busy so getting new tasks has been tough. I'm sure I've seen some posts about this but can't find them. Looking for some ideas to get me started on learning this system and virtualization. I'm running VMware ESXi 5.5. If you know of another thread just point in the right direction, otherwise shoot me some ideas. Thanks in advance.

  • SCCM 2012 Test Lab Setup Questions...

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to set up a SCCM test lab with VMs so I can test deployment of our software package (.msi).  I downloaded the System Center 2012: Configuration Manager Test Lab Guide, which appears to consist of the following required machine setups...
    -One server running System Center 2012 Configuration Manager named CM1. CM1 uses the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition operating system.
    -One pre-existing server running SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise named APP1. APP1 uses the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition operating system.
    -One pre-existing client running on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition named CLIENT1.
    From this document, the first step is to Complete the Base Configuration.  When I download that document, it lists the following needed systems...
    One computer running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
    DC1 that is configured as an intranet domain controller, Domain Name System (DNS) server, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, and an enterprise root certification authority
    (CA).
    One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
    APP1 that is configured as a general application and web server with secure sockets layer (SSL) support. APP1 also hosts the certificate revocation list (CRL) for the enterprise root CA
    installed on DC1.
    One roaming member client computer running Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate named
    CLIENT1.
    One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named EDGE1 that is configured as an Internet edge server.
    One standalone server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
    INET1 that is configured as an Internet DNS server, web server, and DHCP server.
    The Base Configuration test lab consists of two subnets that simulate the following:
    The Internet, referred to as the Internet subnet (131.107.0.0/24).
    An intranet, referred to as the Corpnet subnet (10.0.0.0/24), separated from the Internet subnet by EDGE1.
    My question(s)...  How many separate VMs are required to set up the test lab, 7?  Or are APP1 & CLIENT1 the same system for both setup guides, which I guess would bring the total of needed systems/vms to 5?
    Can any of the images serve a dual purpose to lessen the number needed even further?
    Any information would be greatly appreciated!
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

    There's no correct answer here as ConfigMgr itself can run on a single server or its roles can be spread out to many different servers. Ultimately, in a pure lab, there is rarely a reason to use more than a single server unless you are trying to simulate
    a production deployment where the roles have been separated.
    This single server doesn't include a DC though (as the ConfigMgr site server must be a member of an AD domain) or a client to manage though so that brings the total up to 3. You technically could put the ConfigMgr site server on the DC; however, that
    is rarely done in production and cause a few unique configuration issues. You could also treat the DC as your managed client but that's typically not a great use case for testing client management.
    I have no idea what lab guide you are following, but remember the lab guide is set up to walk you through many different scenarios -- some of which you many not care about. ConfigMgr is a huge and complex application that can be installed in many, many different
    configurations based upon the goals of the installation and the organization it supports so it ultimately depends upon exactly what you are after. I'd suggested doing some additional supplemental reading like TechNet and/or one of the publishes books
    available instead of just blindly following the lab guide. That's not to say the lab guide doesn't have value, but if you want to follow it, then you need to follow it.
