Step 1---Configuring the Host Name, Password, and Time Stamps

Assign a host name to the Cisco 1604, enable basic security, and turn on time stamping.

As you configure the software, make sure that all logging dialog generated by the router appears on your terminal screen. If it does not, enter the terminal monitor EXEC command. If you are configuring the router with the console port, logging automatically appears.

You can use security measures in addition to those described in Steps 4 and 5 below to further encrypt the password. See the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide and Cisco IOS Security Command Reference for more information.

To configure the host name, password and timestamps for the Cisco 1604, enter the following commands beginning in user EXEC mode:


Step 1 Enter privileged EXEC mode.

Router> enable
 

Step 2 Enter global configuration mode.

Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End
with CNTL/Z.
 

Step 3 Assign a host name to the router. This host name is typically used during authentication with the central site.

Router(config)# hostname robo-austin
 

Step 4 Enter a secret enable password that secures privileged EXEC mode. Be sure to change "guessme" to your own secret password.

robo-austin(config)# enable secret guessme
 

Step 5 Encrypt passwords in the configuration file for greater security.

hq-sanjose(config)# service password-encryption
 

Step 6 Enable millisecond time stamping on debug and logging output. Time stamps are useful for detailed access tracing.

hq-sanjose(config)# service timestamps debug datetime msec
hq-sanjose(config)# service timestamps log datetime msec

Verifying Host Name, Password, and Time Stamp Configuration

To verify configuration of the Cisco 1604's host name, password, and time stamps:


Step 1 Enter the show running command:

robo-austin# show running
Building configuration...
 
Current configuration:
!
version 12.0
service timestamps debug uptime
service timestamps log uptime

!
 

Step 2 Log in with your new enable password.

Step 3 Exit out of enable mode by using the disable command.

The prompt changes from robo-austin# to robo-austin>.

Step 4 Enter the enable command followed by your password.

Step 5 Enter the show privilege command to show the current security privilege level, which is level 15:

robo-austin# disable
robo-austin> enable
Password: 
robo-austin# show privilege
Current privilege level is 15
robo-austin#

Tips


If you have trouble:

Step 2---Configuring Local AAA Security

The Cisco IOS security model to use on all Cisco devices is authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). AAA provides the primary framework through which you set up access control on the access server.

In this case study, the same authentication method is used on all interfaces. AAA is set up to use the local database configured on the Cisco 1604 router. This local database is created with the username configuration commands.


Note Setting up your AAA security at this point in the configuration process is a matter of "best practices"; it ensures that the configuration is managed for most effectiveness.

To configure local AAA security on the Cisco 1604, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:


Step 1 Create a local username for yourself. Make sure to change "joe-admin" to your own username and "joe-password" to your own password. This step prevents you from getting locked out of the router when you enable AAA.

robo-austin(config)# username joe-admin password joe-password
 

Step 2 Enable AAA access control. This step immediately enables login and PPP authentication.

robo-austin(config)# aaa new-model
 

Step 3 Configure AAA to perform login authentication by using the local username database. The login keyword indicates authentication of EXEC (shell) users.

robo-austin(config)# aaa authentication login default local
 

Step 4 Configure PPP authentication to use the local database if the session was not already authenticated by login.

robo-austin(config)# aaa authentication ppp default local
 

Note After you finish setting up basic security, you can enhance the security solution by extending it to an external TACACS+ or RADIUS server. However, this case study describes only local AAA security.

To verify the local AAA security configuration on the Cisco 1604:


Step 1 Log in with your username:password.

Step 2 Enter the login command at the EXEC (shell) prompt. Do not disconnect your EXEC session until you can log in successfully. (If you get locked out, recover your password by rebooting the router.)

robo-austin# login
 
User Access Verification
 
Username: joe-admin
Password: 
 
robo-austin#
 

Step 3 Enter the show running command to see the Cisco 1604's current configuration:

robo-austin# show running

Current configuration:
!
version 12.0
service timestamps debug uptime
service timestamps log uptime

Step 3---Configuring the Ethernet Interface

Assign an IP address to the Cisco 1604's Ethernet interface. Test the interface by pinging it from a PC on the LAN.

To configure the Ethernet interface, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:


Step 1 Configure the IP address and subnet mask on the Ethernet interface.

robo-austin(config)# interface ethernet 0
robo-austin(config-if)# ip address 10.1.4.1 255.255.255.0

Step 2 Bring up the interface. This command changes the state of the interface from administratively down to up.

robo-austin(config-if)# no shutdown
 

Verifying the Ethernet Interface Configuration

To verify the Cisco 1604's Ethernet interface configuration:


Step 1 Enter the show ip interface brief command, which enables you to quickly check the status of all router interfaces.

The field "administratively down" means that the interface is configured with the shutdown command.

Step 2 To bring the interface up, you must enter the no shutdown command. In the example below, the Status column refers to the ability to physically connect the network at Layer 1---needed for getting clocks (timing signals) and carrier signals. The Protocol column refers to the ability to see traffic flow, which typically occurs at the data link layer. For example, the Ethernet interface sends a loopback Ethernet packet out to itself through the Ethernet LAN:

robo-austin# show ip interface brief
Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol
BRI0                   unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down    
BRI0:1                 unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down    
BRI0:2                 unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down    
Ethernet0              10.1.4.1        YES manual up                    up 
Serial0                unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down 
 

In the next example, note that the status is up but the protocol is down. The following logging message appears at 00:40:20: "Unit 0, lost carrier. Transceiver problem?." After the Ethernet cable is plugged into the Ethernet port, the interface comes up. See 00:40:25.

robo-austin# show ip interface brief
Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol
BRI0                   unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down    
BRI0:1                 unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down    
BRI0:2                 unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down    
Ethernet0              10.1.4.1        YES manual up                    down    
Serial0                unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down    
robo-austin#
00:40:20: %QUICC_ETHER-1-LOSTCARR: Unit 0, lost carrier. Transceiver problem?
00:40:25: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Ethernet0, changed sta
te to up
robo-austin#
 

Step 3 Establish connectivity with an Ethernet-based device. In this example, IP address 10.1.4.2 is assigned to the first external PC on this LAN to test for router-to-PC connectivity. The PC's DOS prompt application is opened and the ping 10.1.4.1 command is issued.

Microsoft(R) Windows 95
   (C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1981-1996.
 
C:\WINDOWS> ping 10.1.4.1
Pinging 10.1.4.1 with 32 bytes of data:
 
Reply from 10.1.4.1: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=236
Reply from 10.1.4.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=236
Reply from 10.1.4.1: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=236
Reply from 10.1.4.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=236

Step 4 Ping the PC from the Cisco 1604. If the PC has not yet used any IP services or drivers, the connection might fail. The preferred method is to ping the router from a PC on the LAN first:

robo-austin# ping 10.1.4.2
 
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.4.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/5/8 ms
 

Step 5 If you know that the Ethernet interface is up but not performing correctly, enter the show interface ethernet 0 command. This example shows errors in the counters because the Ethernet cable was not plugged in:

robo-austin# show interface ethernet 0
Ethernet0 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is QUICC Ethernet, address is 0060.834f.6626 (bia 0060.834f.6626)

     2 packets input, 644 bytes, 0 no buffer
     Received 2 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
     0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort
     0 input packets with dribble condition detected
     28 packets output, 2905 bytes, 0 underruns
     25 output errors, 0 collisions, 2 interface resets
     0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred
     3 lost carrier, 0 no carrier
     0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

Step 4---Configuring Basic Rate Interface

Enable the Cisco 1604's Basic Rate Interface (BRI) connectivity with the telephone company's central office switch. PPP framing is used on the B channels.

You can authenticate the remote side on any connection. The callin keyword used in Step 7 below means that all outbound connection attempts made by the Cisco 1604 will not authenticate the remote peer, which is the device at the other end of the PPP link (Cisco AS5300). Only the calls that come into the Cisco 1604 are authenticated.


Note On BRI interfaces, it is not necessary to configure dialer inband because the BRI interfaces are dialer inband interfaces by default. Interfaces BRI0:1 and BRI0:2 are controlled by the dialer interface interface bri 0.

To configure BRI on the Cisco 1604, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:


Step 1 Configure the ISDN switch type, which is basic-ni1 in this example.

robo-austin(config)# isdn switch-type basic-ni1
 

Step 2 Configure the IP address and subnet mask on the BRI interface.

robo-austin(config)# interface bri 0
robo-austin(config-if)# ip address 10.1.254.4 255.255.255.0

Step 3 Configure your SPIDs, which are required by many switch types.

robo-austin(config-if)# isdn spid1 51255544330101
robo-austin(config-if)# isdn spid2 51255544340101

Step 4 Enable PPP.

robo-austin(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
 

Step 5 Disable fair queuing.

robo-austin(config-if)# no fair-queue
 

Step 6 Enable PPP multilink.

robo-austin(config-if)# ppp multilink
 

Step 7 Enable CHAP and PAP authentication on the interface during LCP negotiation. The access server first authenticates with CHAP. If CHAP is not used by the remote client, then the access server tries PAP. CHAP is requested first.

robo-austin(config-if)# ppp authentication chap pap callin
 

Step 8 Bring up the interface. The no shutdown command changes the state of the interface from administratively down to up.

robo-austin(config-if)# no shutdown
 

Verifying BRI Configuration


Step 1 Enter the no shutdown command. The following output messages appear:

robo-austin(config-if)# no shutdown
robo-austin#
00:45:01: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface BRI0:1, changed state to down
00:45:01: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface BRI0:2, changed state to down
00:45:01: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface BRI0, changed state to up
robo-austin#
00:45:02: %ISDN-6-LAYER2UP: Layer 2 for Interface BR0, TEI 100 changed to up
00:45:02: %ISDN-6-LAYER2UP: Layer 2 for Interface BR0, TEI 101 changed to up
robo-austin(config-if)# 
 

This example shows the BRI0:1 and BRI0:2 states change to "down" because the previous state was "administratively down." The BRI0 D channel changes to "up" as it spoofs for the two B channels. After the D channel finds the B channels, the B channels change state to "up." The Cisco 1604 communicates with the telephone switch and receives its TEI numbers for its two B channels.

Step 2 Enter the show isdn status command to check the Cisco 1604's ISDN status:

robo-austin# show isdn status
Global ISDN Switchtype = basic-ni
ISDN BRI0 interface
        dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = basic-ni
    Layer 1 Status:
        ACTIVE
    Layer 2 Status:
        TEI = 100, Ces = 1, SAPI = 0, State = MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED
        TEI = 101, Ces = 2, SAPI = 0, State = MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED
    Spid Status:
        TEI 100, ces = 1, state = 5(init)
            spid1 configured, no LDN, spid1 sent, spid1 valid
            Endpoint ID Info: epsf = 0, usid = 2, tid = 1
        TEI 101, ces = 2, state = 5(init)
            spid2 configured, no LDN, spid2 sent, spid2 valid
            Endpoint ID Info: epsf = 0, usid = 4, tid = 1
    Layer 3 Status:
        0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
    Activated dsl 0 CCBs = 0
    Total Allocated ISDN CCBs = 0
 

The fields in the output example resulting from Step 2 above are described in Table 3-2:


Table 3-2: Field Descriptions for the show isdn status Command Output
 
Field Description
BRI0

Basic Rate Interface. The BRI 0 interface corresponds to DSL-0, which has three channels (2B +D).

DSL

Digital Subscriber Line.

TEI

Terminal Equipment Identifier.

CCB

Call Control Block.

LDN

Local Directory Number.

SPID

Service Profile Identifier.

Step 3 Enter the show ip interface brief command to check the current state of the interface:

robo-austin# show ip interface brief 
Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol
BRI0                   10.1.254.4      YES manual up                    up      
BRI0:1                 unassigned      YES unset  down                  down    
BRI0:2                 unassigned      YES unset  down                  down    
Ethernet0              10.1.4.1        YES manual up                    up      
Serial0                unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down 
 

Note Note that the status and protocol for BRI 0 and Ethernet 0 are both up/up, which is what is expected. The term "manual" means that you manually configured the interface since the last reboot. The two B channels (BRI0:1 and BRI0:2) are down because there are no active calls on the BRI interface at this time.


Tips


If you have trouble:

Step 5---Configuring Dial-on-Demand Routing

Set up the Dial-on-Demand Routing (DDR) routing components on the Cisco 1604. In most cases, a remote site with a single LAN requires a simple DDR configuration, which supports the routing table and call control in a circuit-switched environment.

In this case study, DDR takes the standard dialer map approach. You must configure specific parameters to establish connectivity with the Cisco AS5300 by using sync PPP. Parameters include a static route, username:password, and a dialer map.

To configure DDR, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:


Step 1 Enter the configuration mode for the BRI interface.

robo-austin(config)# interface bri 0
 

Step 2 Define the interesting packets that activate the ISDN connection. Interesting packets reset the idle timer and trigger dialing. This dialer filter is defined by the dialer-list 2 command. See Step 7.

robo-austin(config-if)# dialer-group 2
 

Step 3 Disable fair queuing.

robo-austin(config-if)# no fair-queue
 

Step 4 Disable the Cisco discovery protocol unless you are using it for a specific purpose.

robo-austin(config-if)# no cdp enable
 

Step 5 Configure the interface to bring up the second B channel when the bandwidth load exceeds 60/255.

robo-austin(config-if)# dialer load-threshold 60 either
 

Step 6 Build a dialer map that maps to the Cisco AS5300's IP address, host name, and directory number. The static route in Step 8 points to this dialer map.

robo-austin(config-if)# dialer map ip 10.1.254.1 name hq-sanjose 14085551234
robo-austin(config-if)# exit

Step 7 Define a DDR's dialer-list to allow any IP packets to establish and maintain calls.

robo-austin(config)# dialer-list 2 protocol ip permit
 

Step 8 Create a static route for the next hop, which is the Cisco AS5300's WAN port. IP address 10.1.254.1 is used on the Cisco AS5300's dialer interface. This static route points at the dialer map on the access server's dialer interface.

robo-austin(config) ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.254.1 permanent
 

Step 9 Enter the password used by the Cisco 1604 for when the Cisco AS5300 (hq-sanjose) authenticates by using CHAP. On Cisco IOS devices, the PPP name is determined by one of the following commands: hostname, sgbp group, ppp pap sent-username, or ppp chap hostname.

robo-austin(config)# username hq-sanjose password austin-pw
 

Step 10 Ensure that all unknown subnets use the default route.

robo-austin(config)# ip classless
 

Verifying DDR Configuration

To verify the Cisco 1604's DDR configuration:


Step 1 Enter the show ip route command to confirm that the static route is installed and pointing at your dialer map address. Configure the static IP default route before you enter this command:

robo-austin# show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area 
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
       i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, * - candidate default
       U - per-user static route, o - ODR

S*   0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 10.1.254.1
 

Note The static route is the first software building block that receives the packet routed to the dialer map. The route must direct the packets to the dialer map before the DDR features can establish connectivity.

Step 2 Enter the show dialer command. The following example shows that the Cisco 1604 has not placed any calls yet, and there have been no failures. An ISDN interface is a dialer interface. Key statistics are shown for each B channel:

robo-austin# show dialer
 
BRI0 - dialer type = ISDN
 
Dial String      Successes   Failures    Last called   Last status
14085551234           0          0            never          -
0 incoming call(s) have been screened.
0 incoming call(s) rejected for callback.
 
BRI0:1 - dialer type = ISDN
Idle timer (120 secs), Fast idle timer (20 secs)
Wait for carrier (30 secs), Re-enable (15 secs)
Dialer state is idle
 
BRI0:2 - dialer type = ISDN
Idle timer (120 secs), Fast idle timer (20 secs)
Wait for carrier (30 secs), Re-enable (15 secs)
Dialer state is idle
 

Step 3 Enter the show dialer map command to see the static dialer map that was built to the Cisco AS5300. This map is built by using the phone number and WAN IP address of the access server:

robo-austin# show dialer map
Static dialer map ip 10.1.254.1 name hq-sanjose  (14085551234) on BRI0
 

Step 4 Enter the show running command to see the Cisco 1604's current configuration:

robo-austin# show running

Tips


Step 6---Testing the Cisco 1604 Connection to the Cisco AS5300

The test strategy is to ping the Cisco AS5300's WAN port; then, ping the backbone behind the access server. Cisco recommends you ping the domain name server (DNS) on the backbone since this device should always be up and operating.

Pinging a next-hop IP address can have complications in an IP-unnumbered environment. For example, complications arise when WAN interfaces are configured with unnumbered IPs.


Note The typical low-level test to verify connectivity in a sync PPP environment is to ping a device on the other end of the WAN link. In a modem environment (async PPP), the low-level test is to establish an EXEC shell on the router.


Figure 3-2: Case Study Lab Environment for Testing the Cisco 1604's Connection to the Cisco AS5300



Step 1 Enter the following commands to start debugging. Use the following example as a guide. Examining the background processes is essential for effective troubleshooting:

robo-austin# undebug all
All possible debugging has been turned off
robo-austin# terminal monitor 
robo-austin# debug dialer 
Dial on demand events debugging is on
robo-austin# debug isdn q931
ISDN Q931 packets debugging is on
robo-austin# debug ppp negotiation
PPP protocol negotiation debugging is on
robo-austin# debug ppp authentication
PPP authentication debugging is on
robo-austin# debug ip peer
IP peer address activity debugging is on
 

Step 2 Verify that your routing table points to the Cisco AS5300 at headquarters---the hq-sanjose network access server (NAS):

robo-austin# show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area 
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
       i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, * - candidate default
       U - per-user static route, o - ODR
Gateway of last resort is 10.1.254.1 to network 0.0.0.0
     10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 2 subnets
C       10.1.4.0 is directly connected, Ethernet0
C       10.1.254.0 is directly connected, BRI0
S*       0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 10.1.254.1
 

Step 3 Verify that the correct dialer map exists:

robo-austin# show dialer map  
Static dialer map ip 10.1.254.1 name hq-sanjose  (14085551234) on BRI0
 

Step 4 Ping the IP address assigned to the Cisco AS5300's dialer interface. Note that the Cisco 1604 (robo-austin) quickly gets 4 of 5 pings back from the Cisco AS5300 (hq-sanjose). After the ping is sent, examine the background processes in the debug output that follows the ping example shown below:

robo-austin# ping 10.1.254.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.254.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
.!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 116/182/372ms
robo-austin#
 

The following comments apply to the debug output example that follows:

    robo-austin# ping 10.1.254.1
    Type escape sequence to abort.
    Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.254.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
    .!!!!
    Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 116/182/372ms

Step 5 Ping the DNS server behind hq-sanjose. The DNS server is the first backbone device that Cisco 1604 will try to use. The DNS server in this case study uses 10.2.2.3.

robo-austin# ping 10.2.2.3
 
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.2.2.3, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/7/12 ms
 

Step 6 Enter additional commands as illustrated below to verify robo-austin's connection with hq-sanjose:

robo-austin# show dialer map
