This chapter describes how to configure the Cisco AS5300 network access server (NAS) to receive calls from the Cisco 1604, Cisco 766, and remote modem users as presented in Chapter 1, "Dial Case Study Overview".
In the network topology shown in Figure 2-1, the PRI telephone number assigned to the Cisco AS5300 at the central headquarters site (hq-sanjose) is 4085551234. This number is often called the hunt group number, which distributes calls among the available B channels. All four PRI trunks on the Cisco AS5300 are assigned to this number by the PRI provider. The directory numbers for the remote devices are configured on the Cisco AS5300 and then, subsequently configured on the remote devices themselves.
The subnet 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 is configured on the Cisco AS5300 and is used for the loopback interface and the local IP address pools as described in Chapter 1, "Dial Case Study Overview".
Table 2-1 provides detailed information about each end of the connection. This is the network administrator's top-level design table and is used in conjunction with the network topology diagram shown in Figure 2-1 for planning and organizing the network.

Do the following tasks to configure the Cisco AS5300 network access server (NAS):
Task 1---Setting Up Basic Configuration Parameters:
Task 2---Setting Up Asynchronous Shell Services:
Task 3---Setting Up Asynchronous PPP services:
Task 4---Setting Up Synchronous PPP Services:
When you first power up the Cisco AS5300, it will have to be configured to your particular needs. Verify that you have a blank startup configuration, and configure it to your particular site needs by doing the following steps:
If the startup configuration running inside the Cisco AS5300 is blank, the following screen appears at bootup. The automatic setup script is engaged.

Note Enter the show version command to see if the access server is recognizing all its modem cards. For example, the output field "96 terminal line(s)" indicates that the chassis can find all 96 integrated modems. |
Assign a host name to the Cisco AS5300, enable basic security, and turn on timestamping.
To configure the host name, enable password, and time stamps, use the following steps beginning in user EXEC mode:
Router> enable
Step 2 Enter global configuration mode. If the logging output generated by the access server interferes with your terminal screen, redisplay your current command line by using the Tab key.
Router# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Step 3 Assign a host name to the access server. The router prompt changes from Router(config)# to hq-sanjose(config)#. This host name is typically used during authentication with PPP peers.
Router(config)# hostname hq-sanjose
Step 4 Enter a secret enable password that secures privileged EXEC mode. Make sure to change "letmein" to your own secret password.
hq-sanjose(config)# enable secret letmein
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 troubleshooting.
hq-sanjose(config)# service timestamps debug datetime msec
hq-sanjose(config)# service timestamps log datetime msec
Log in with your new enable password.
hq-sanjose# to hq-sanjose>.
Step 2 Enter the enable command followed by your password.
Step 3 Enter the show privilege command to show the current security privilege level:
hq-sanjose# disable hq-sanjose> enable Password: letmein hq-sanjose# show privilege Current privilege level is 15 hq-sanjose#
Step 4 Enter the show running command to show the current running configuration:
hq-sanjose# show running Building configuration... Current configuration: ! version 12.0(5) service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec service password-encryption ! hostname hq-sanjose ! enable secret 5 $1$.voA$9/8.Zoil3jeWJMP6hEE6U0 ! ----- snip ----

If you have trouble:
hq-sanjose# show tech-support ? ipmulticast IP multicast related information page Page through output password Include passwords rsvp IP RSVP related information <cr>
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 AS5300. This local database is created with the username configuration commands.
![]() |
Note Although configuring your local AAA is not required here, it is considered "best practices" to do so when first setting up your router. Setting up this local AAA prevents unauthorized access and configuration changes. |
To configure local AAA security, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
![]() |
Note Make sure to change "joe-admin" to your own username and "joe-password" to your own password. |
hq-sanjose(config)# username joe-admin password joe-password
Step 2 Initiate the AAA access control system. This step immediately locks down login and PPP authentication.
hq-sanjose(config)# aaa new-model
Step 3 Configure AAA to perform login authentication by using the local username database. The login keyword authenticates shell/EXEC users.
hq-sanjose(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.
hq-sanjose(config)# aaa authentication ppp default if-needed 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. This case study describes only local AAA security. |
Step 2 Enter the login command at the EXEC shell prompt. If you get in, the login authentication is working with your local username. Do not disconnect your access server session until you can log in successfully. (If you get locked out, recover your password by rebooting the access server.)
hq-sanjose# login User Access Verification Username: joe-admin Password: joe-password hq-sanjose#
Step 3 Enter the show running command to view the current configuration of the AAA parameters:
hq-sanjose# show running Building configuration... Current configuration: ! version 12.0(5) service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec service password-encryption ! hostname hq-sanjose ! aaa new-model aaa authentication login default local aaa authentication ppp default if-needed local enable secret 5 $1$.voA$9/8.Zoil3jeWJMP6hEE6U0 ! username joe-admin password 7 <removed> ! ----- snip ----
When you have configured the preliminary parameters such as your host name, password, timestamps and local AAA security on the Cisco AS5300, you can then move on to setting up the asynchronous shell services, which provide access through the Cisco IOS CLI EXEC shell to terminal services (no PPP) for the following tasks:
Assign an IP address, line speed, and duplex mode to the Cisco AS5300's Fast Ethernet interface, which supports 10- and 100-Mbps speeds.
The default priority search order for autonegotiating the line speed is as follows:
1. 100Base-TX full duplex
2. 100Base-TX half duplex
3. 10Base-T full duplex
4. 10Base-T half duplex
To configure the Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX interface, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
hq-sanjose(config)# interface fastethernet 0
hq-sanjose(config-if)#ip address 10.1.1.10 255.255.255.0
Step 2 Set autonegotiation for the line speed based on the peer routers, hubs, and switch media.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# speed auto
Step 3 Set autonegotiation for duplex mode.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# duplex auto
Step 4 Bring up the interface. This command changes the state of the interface from administratively down to up.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# no shutdown
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0, changed state to up
up" field appears under the Status and Protocol columns in the displayed output. The fields "down" or "administratively down" indicate a connection problem:
hq-sanjose# show ip interface brief fastethernet 0 Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol FastEthernet0 10.1.1.10 YES manual up up
Step 2 Ping a device in your network, such as a default gateway (backhaul router) or the backbone gateway:
hq-sanjose# ping 10.1.1.1 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/5/8 ms
Step 3 Enter the show interface fastethernet 0 command to see detailed interface information. Look for the display field "FastEthernet 0 is up, line protocol is up." This means that the access server sees its own sent and received keepalives.
hq-sanjose# show interface fastethernet 0
FastEthernet0 is up, line protocol is up

If you have trouble:
Configure the Cisco AS5300's T1 controllers to allow calls to come into the NAS from the public switched telephone network (PSTN) cloud. You must specify the following information for each controller:
To configure the controllers, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
hq-sanjose(config)# isdn switch-type primary-ni
Step 2 Enter controller configuration mode for the first T1 controller, which is 0. The controller ports are labeled 0 through 3 on the quad T1/PRI card.
hq-sanjose(config)# controller t1 0
Step 3 Enter the T1 framing type. This example uses extended super frame.
hq-sanjose(config-controller)# framing esf
Step 4 Enter the T1 line code type. This example uses B8ZS.
hq-sanjose(config-controller)# linecode b8zs
Step 5 Configure the access server to get its primary clock (timing signal) from the T1 line assigned to controller 0. Line clocking comes from the remote switch.
hq-sanjose(config-controller)# clock source line primary
Step 6 Assign all 24 T1 timeslots as ISDN PRI channels. After you enter this command, a D-channel serial interface is instantly created (for example S0:23, S1:23, and so on) in the configuration file and the individual B-channel serial interfaces (for example S0:0, S0:1, ...). The D-channel interface functions like a dialer for all the 23 B channels using the controller.
hq-sanjose(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 1-24
Step 7 Exit back to global configuration mode.
hq-sanjose(config-controller)# exit
Step 8 Configure the second controller, controller T1 1. Set the clocking to secondary 1. If the line clocking from controller T1 0 fails, the Cisco AS5300 will receive its clocking from controller T1 1.
hq-sanjose(config#) controller t1 1 hq-sanjose(config-controller)# framing esf hq-sanjose(config-controller)# linecode b8zs hq-sanjose(config-controller)# clock source line secondary 1 hq-sanjose(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 1-24 hq-sanjose(config-controller)# exit
Step 9 Configure the remaining two controllers. Cisco IOS Release 12.0 and later releases support use of the clock source line secondary x command. This enables the Cisco AS5300 to continue to receive clock (timing signal) from the telephone company or the next remaining controller if a previous controller goes down. This would not be possible if the remaining T1 controllers were set to internal.
hq-sanjose(config#) controller t1 2 hq-sanjose(config-controller)# framing esf hq-sanjose(config-controller)# linecode b8zs hq-sanjose(config-controller)# clock source line secondary 2 hq-sanjose(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 1-24 hq-sanjose(config-controller)# exit hq-sanjose(config#) controller t1 3 hq-sanjose(config-controller)# framing esf hq-sanjose(config-controller)# linecode b8zs hq-sanjose(config-controller)# clock source line secondary 3 hq-sanjose(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 1-24 hq-sanjose(config-controller)# exit hq-sanjose(config#)

Step 2 Enter the show controller t1 number command to view the statistics for a particular T1 controller.
If counters are increasing on a specific T1 controller, see the error statistics. Error counters are recorded for a 24-hour period in 15-minute intervals. You must specify a specific controller number to see this detailed information. Focus on the current interval.
In the following example, note that the frame loss and line errors present in data intervals 1 through 4 cleared in the current data interval.

If you have trouble:
Configure the D channels to allow incoming voice calls to be routed to the Cisco AS5300's integrated modems. The D channel is the signalling channel that controls the calls coming in on the ISDN B channels.
Later, in the section "Step 1Configuring Dial-on-Demand Routing" in Task 4, the D-channel configuration can be expanded to also accept ISDN synchronous PPP calls from the remote offices. However, Cisco recommends getting only modem users configured and running at this stage in the process.
To configure the serial channels, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
hq-sanjose(config)# interface serial 0:23
Step 2 Enable analog modem voice calls coming in over the B channels to be connected to the integrated modems.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# isdn incoming-voice modem
hq-sanjose(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 3 Return to global configuration mode.

The term "spoofing" means that the interface is presenting itself to the Cisco IOS software as up and operational. This interface can now receive routes. There are 23 more channels behind this interface that you do not see (for example, S0:0, S0:1, and so on). The D channel decides which serial channel (B channel) to assign to an incoming call.

Note the following information:
Step 3 Enter the show isdn service command to determine which channels have active calls and if all the individual channels are in service. In this example, note that there are 8 serial channels under each D channel that calls cannot use. T1 lines are used in this case study (not E1):
hq-sanjose# show isdn service PRI Channel Statistics: ISDN Se0:23, Channel (1-31) Activated dsl 0 State (0=Idle 1=Propose 2=Busy 3=Reserved 4=Restart 5=Maint) 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 Channel (1-31) Service (0=Inservice 1=Maint 2=Outofservice) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ISDN Se1:23, Channel (1-31) Activated dsl 0 State (0=Idle 1=Propose 2=Busy 3=Reserved 4=Restart 5=Maint) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 Channel (1-31) Service (0=Inservice 1=Maint 2=Outofservice) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ISDN Se2:23, Channel (1-31) Activated dsl 0 State (0=Idle 1=Propose 2=Busy 3=Reserved 4=Restart 5=Maint) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 Channel (1-31) Service (0=Inservice 1=Maint 2=Outofservice) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ISDN Se3:23, Channel (1-31) Activated dsl 0 State (0=Idle 1=Propose 2=Busy 3=Reserved 4=Restart 5=Maint) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 Channel (1-31) Service (0=Inservice 1=Maint 2=Outofservice) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
Step 4 Enter the show ip interface brief command to view the individual serial B channel interfaces. In the following example, Serial 0:0 through Serial 0:22 are B channels and are associated to D channel Serial 0:23:
hq-sanjose# show ip interface brief Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol Ethernet0 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down FastEthernet0 10.1.1.10 YES manual up up Serial0:0 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:1 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:2 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:3 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:4 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:5 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:6 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:7 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:8 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:9 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:10 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:11 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:12 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:13 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:14 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:15 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:16 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:17 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:18 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:19 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:20 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:21 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:22 unassigned YES unset down down Serial0:23 unassigned YES unset down down
Step 5 Enter the show running command to see the current configuration of the D channels for the serial interfaces:
hq-sanjose# show running Building configuration... Current configuration: ! ---- snip ---- ! interface Serial0:23 no ip address no ip directed-broadcast isdn incoming-voice modem ! interface Serial1:23 no ip address no ip directed-broadcast isdn incoming-voice modem ! interface Serial2:23 no ip address no ip directed-broadcast isdn incoming-voice modem ! interface Serial3:23 no ip address no ip directed-broadcast isdn incoming-voice modem ! ---- snip ----

If you have trouble:
Configure the Cisco AS5300 internal modems and asynchronous lines after the ISDN channels are operational. Each modem is directly mapped to a dedicated async line in the access server. After this configuration is set up, the Cisco AS5300 is ready to take modem calls.
The modem speed 115200 bps and hardware flow control are the defaults for the integrated modems.
To configure the Cisco AS5300's modems and asynchronous lines, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
hq-sanjose(config)# line 1 96
Step 2 Enable remote PPP users to dial in, bypass the EXEC facility, and automatically launch PPP on the line. This and the next autoselect command provide for transparent launching of shell and PPP services on the same lines.
hq-sanjose(config-line)# autoselect ppp
Step 3 Enter the autoselect during-login command to display the username:password prompt after modems connect.
hq-sanjose(config-line)# autoselect during-login
Step 4 Set the modems to support incoming and outgoing modem calls.
hq-sanjose(config-line)# modem inout
hq-sanjose# show running Building configuration... Current configuration: ---- snip ---- ! line 1 96 autoselect during-login autoselect ppp modem InOut ---- snip ----
Step 2 Send a voice call to the access server by using a standard POTS telephone. If you hear modem squelch (tone) from the access server's internal modem, the configuration works. See Figure 2-2.
Now you are ready to send the first modem call into the Cisco AS5300. This step shows you how to do the test and track the asynchronous data path taken by a single modem call.
Do this test by using a shell service, which verifies that the physical async data path is working. This is the most efficient way to get quick test results in a simple test environment.
At this step, do not try to make complex services such as PPP-based Web browsing work, because you still need to configure other elements first. This step is provided to ensure that the basic modem link is functioning, and that you can access the shell/EXEC prompt remotely. To avoid problems, take a layered approach to building a network.
Figure 2-3 shows a test PC running a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. This program enables the test PC to make a modem-to-modem connection with the Cisco AS5300 over the PSTN network.
These commands capture the call-switching module and ISDN connection messages:
hq-sanjose# debug modem csm Modem Management Call Switching Module debugging is on hq-sanjose# debug isdn q931 ISDN Q931 packets debugging is on hq-sanjose# terminal monitor
% Console already monitors
![]() |
Note The command terminal monitor is not required on the console, but would be required if you were using a Telnet connection into the access servers. If you are not on a console, you will need to type terminal monitor here. |
Step 2 After you are finished with the test, turn off all debugging with the undebug all command.
![]() |
Note The ISDN Q.931 messages display call information coming into the access server. The modem call-switching module captures the calls getting routed to the internal modems. The terminal monitor ensures that your EXEC session is receiving the logging and debug output. |
If the modem successfully connects, a connect message followed by the terminal service EXEC login prompt appears on the test PC.
atdt5551234 CONNECT 24000/REL - MNP User Access Verification Username: joe-admin
Password: hq-sanjose>
![]() |
Note The modem attached to the test PC sends out "CONNECT 24000/REL - MNP" The Cisco AS5300 sends out "User Access Verification," "Username:," and "Password:." These messages confirm that you have end-to-end async shell connectivity. |
Interpret the debug messages that appear on the administrator's terminal screen as a result of Step 2. This debug output (shown after the comments) was created as the modem call came into the Cisco AS5300 NAS.
The following comments apply to the debug output example:
a. See 20:43:35.906 through 20:43:35.918.
The setup message is received. The bearer capability is a voice call as indicated by 0x8090A2. The calling party number is 5551111, the test PC's phone number. The called party number is 5551234, the NAS's dialed hunt group number.
b. See 20:43:35.938.
Modem 1/1 is assigned to the incoming voice call.
c. See 20:43:36.754 and 20:43:36.782.
The call successfully connects as indicated by the fields "TX -> CONNECT" and "RX <- CONNECT_ACK."
d. See 20:43:36.806.
The integrated modem waits to negotiate carrier with the remote modem.

Now that asynchronous shell services have been set up, you can set up the Cisco AS5300's asynchronous PPP services to provide IP and multiprotocol connectivity for remote node modem users and to support Internet applications available by using IP, such as:
To support remote nodes dialing in, create a pool of IP addresses on the Cisco AS5300. As remote node devices connect, they request an IP address from this central site.
Determine how your Internet/intranet backbone will route packets to the addresses in this IP address pool. There are several ways that this routing can be done, such as using addresses off a subnet defined on the Cisco AS5300 NAS (for example, on the loopback or Ethernet interface).
![]() |
Note You can create a loopback interface and a new subnet if your existing Ethernet subnet has all its IP addresses already assigned. Loopback interfaces are very stable---they do not go up and down as LAN interfaces can. |
To set up an IP address pool, enter the following commands in the Cisco AS5300 CLI beginning in global configuration mode:
hq-sanjose(config)# interface loopback 0
Step 2 Assign an IP subnet and address to loopback 0. This subnet is used to create your IP address pool and is now dedicated to the Cisco AS5300 for remote node support. You cannot use this subnet in other places in your network.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
Step 3 Return to global configuration mode.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# exit
Step 4 Create a pool of IP addresses for assignment to the remote nodes.
hq-sanjose(config)# ip local pool dialin_pool 10.1.2.2 10.1.2.97
Step 5 Specify the domain name servers on the network, which can be used for clients dialing in with PPP.
hq-sanjose(config)# async-bootp dns-server 10.2.2.3 10.2.3.1
Enter the show ip local pool command to verify the configuration:
hq-sanjose# show ip local pool Pool Begin End Free In use Cache Size dialin_pool 10.1.2.2 10.1.2.97 96 0 20
The group-async interface is a template that controls the configuration of all the async interfaces on the Cisco AS5300 NAS.
To configure the group-async interface, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
hq-sanjose(config)# interface group-async 1
Step 2 To conserve IP address space, configure the asynchronous interfaces as unnumbered.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# ip unnumbered loopback 0
Step 3 Enable PPP.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
Step 4 Configure the interactive mode on the asynchronous interfaces. Interactive means that users can dial in and get to a shell or PPP session on that line.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# async mode interactive
Step 5 Enable CHAP and PAP authentication on the interface during LCP negotiation. The Cisco AS5300 NAS first requests authentication with CHAP. If CHAP is rejected by the remote client, then PAP authentication is requested.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# ppp authentication chap pap
Step 6 Assign dial-in clients and IP addresses from the pool named dialin_pool.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# peer default ip address pool dialin_pool
Step 7 Disable the Cisco discovery protocol.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# no cdp enable
Step 8 Specify the range of asynchronous interfaces to include in the group, which is usually equal to the number of modems you have in the NAS.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# group-range 1 96
Enter the show running command to see the Cisco AS5300's current configuration. After completing Steps 1 through 8, the configuration looks like this:

Now you are ready to send the first async PPP modem call into the Cisco AS5300. Figure 2-4 shows a test PC making a PPP modem-to-modem connection with the Cisco AS5300 over the PSTN network.
![]() |
Note Debug only at the component level that you have built so far. Otherwise your terminal display will show all router signals, which at this stage will not provide much meaningful information. |

Step 2 From the dial-up networking software running on the test PC, use the "Connect to" dialog box to enter the telephone number assigned to the Cisco AS5300. In this example, 5551234 is used:
Step 3 Press the Connect button to start the dial-in process.
Step 4 Interpret the debug messages that appear on your terminal screen as a result of Step 3. As the modem call comes into the Cisco AS5300 NAS, debug output is created.

Note When examining PPP between two remote peers, first check to see if both sides get through LCP negotiation. If they do, move on to check authentication. After authentication is successful, check IPCP negotiation. |
The following comments apply to the debug output example that follows. Locate the time stamps in the debug output; then, interpret the call behavior.
a. See 21:34:56.958.
A modem call comes into the access server on TTY line 4.
b. See 21:34:59.722 through 21:34:59.734.
An incoming PPP frame is recognized, so PPP is sent on TTY line 4.
c. See 21:34:59.790.
The test PC gets assigned an IP address from the address pool set up on the NAS. The address is 10.1.2.2.
d. See 21:35:01.798.
Interface async 4 comes up. After PPP is sent, TTY line 4 becomes async interface 4.
e. See 21:35:02.718.
Incoming config request (I CONFREQ). The remote test PC requests a set of options to be negotiated. The PC asks the Cisco AS5300 to support the callback option.
f. See 21:35:02.738.
Outgoing config reject (O CONFREJ). The Cisco AS5300 rejects this option because the NAS is not configured to support Microsoft Callback in this case study.
g. See 21:35:02.850.
Incoming config request (I CONFREQ). The test PC requests a new set of options.
h. See 21:35:02.862.
Outgoing config acknowledgment (O CONFACK). The Cisco AS5300 accepts the new set of options.
i. See 21:35:03.978.
LCP is now open (LCP: State is Open). Both sides have acknowledged (CONFACK) the other side's configuration request (CONFREQ).
j. See 21:35:03.978.
After LCP negotiates, authentication starts. Authentication must happen before any network protocols, such as IP, are delivered. Both sides authenticate with the method negotiated during LCP. The Cisco AS5300 is authenticating the test PC by using CHAP. The test PC is not authenticating the Cisco AS5300 in this test case.
k. See 21:35:03.982.
Outgoing challenge from hq-sanjose.
l. See 21:35:04.162.
Incoming CHAP response from the test PC, which shows the username joe-admin.
m. See 21:35:04.182.
An outgoing success is sent from the NAS---authentication is successful.
n. See 21:35:04.186.
PPP is up. The Cisco AS5300 PPP link is now open and available to negotiate any network protocols supported by both peers.
o. See 21:35:04.314 through 21:35:04.322.
The test PC requests support for Microsoft Point-to-Point Compression (MPPC). The Cisco AS5300 rejects this request. The NAS's integrated modems already support hardware compression, and the Cisco IOS is not configured to support software compression.
p. See 21:35:07.274 through 21:35:07.478.
The primary and secondary DNS addresses are negotiated. At first, the test PC asks for 0.0.0.0. addresses. The Cisco AS5300 sends out a CONFNAK and supplies the correct values. Values include an IP address from the pool, the primary DNS address, and the backup DNS address.
q. See 21:35:07.426.
The test PC sends an incoming request saying that the new values are accepted. Whenever the Cisco AS5300 NAS sends out a CONFNAK that includes values, the test PC still needs to respond and report acceptance of the new values.
r. See 21:35:07.458 through 21:35:07.490.
An outgoing CONFACK is sent for IPCP. The state is open for IPCP. A route is negotiated for the IPCP peer, which is 10.1.2.2.

Set up the synchronous PPP services to provide IP and multiprotocol connectivity for BRI and PRI attached remote sites and to support Internet applications available by using IP such as:
![]() |
Note Terminal services through a shell are not available to synchronous link users (for example, ISDN routers and terminal adapters through a BRI channel). |
Dial-on-demand routing (DDR):
To configure the Cisco AS5300's dialer interfaces, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
hq-sanjose(config)#interface dialer 1hq-sanjose(config-if)#ip address 10.1.254.1 255.255.255.0
Step 2 Exit back to global configuration mode.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# exit
Step 3 Group the serial 0 channel into dialer 1.
hq-sanjose(config)# interface serial 0:23
hq-sanjose(config-if)# dialer rotary-group 1hq-sanjose(config-if)#exit
Step 4 Group the remaining serial channels into dialer 1.
hq-sanjose(config)# interface serial 1:23
hq-sanjose(config-if)# dialer rotary-group 1hq-sanjose(config-if)#exit
hq-sanjose(config)# interface serial 2:23
hq-sanjose(config-if)# dialer rotary-group 1hq-sanjose(config-if)#exit
hq-sanjose(config)# interface serial 3:23
hq-sanjose(config-if)# dialer rotary-group 1hq-sanjose(config-if)#exit
Step 5 Return to dialer 1 with all the D channels grouped together.
hq-sanjose(config)# interface dialer 1
Step 6 Encapsulate the packets with PPP.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
Step 7 Assign an address pool to interface dialer 1. This step supports remote node ISDN devices, such as those running Easy IP and PAT. These users will also need a username and password.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# peer default ip address pool dialin_pool
Step 8 Specify that this is an in-band dialer interface, which enables passing the phone number across the D channel.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# dialer in-band
Step 9 Configure the idle timeout, which is set to 1800 seconds (30 minutes) in this example. Other environments might require shorter timeouts. The default is 120 seconds.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# dialer idle-timeout 1800
Step 10 Define the interesting packets, which are packets that reset the idle timer or trigger calls. This dialer filter is defined by the dialer-list 2 command. See Step Step 17
hq-sanjose(config-if)# dialer-group 2
Step 11 Enable PPP multilink, which fragments and reassembles packets among bundled B channels.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# ppp multilink
Step 12 Enable CHAP and PAP authentication. CHAP is used first. PAP is the second choice.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# ppp authentication chap pap
Step 13 Disable fair queuing.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# no fair-queue
Step 14 Disable the Cisco discovery protocol---unless you are using it for a specific purpose.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# no cdp enable
Step 15 Turn off multicast route caching.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# no ip mroute-cache
Step 16 Return to global configuration mode.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# exit
Step 17 Define a DDR dialer-list to allow any IP traffic to maintain the connection. Any IP packet will maintain the DDR session. Minor or extensive tuning of your dialer list might be required to control costs in your environment. Use the same number for the dialer-group command and the dialer-list command. To monitor the idle timer value and the packets that reset it, enter the debug dialer packet and show dialer commands.
hq-sanjose(config)# dialer-list 2 protocol ip permit
To verify the DDR configuration:
1. Enter the show dialer command. This command shows you the state associated with each IP interface. Note that each individual serial channel is a dialer interface:
hq-sanjose# show dialer Dialer1 - dialer type = IN-BAND SYNC NO-PARITY Idle timer (1800 secs), Fast idle timer (20 secs) Wait for carrier (30 secs), Re-enable (15 secs) Dial String Successes Failures Last called Last status Serial0:0 - dialer type = ISDN Idle timer (1800 secs), Fast idle timer (20 secs) Wait for carrier (30 secs), Re-enable (15 secs) Dialer state is idle Serial0:1 - dialer type = ISDN Idle timer (1800 secs), Fast idle timer (20 secs) Wait for carrier (30 secs), Re-enable (15 secs) Dialer state is idle Serial0:2 - dialer type = ISDN Idle timer (1800 secs), Fast idle timer (20 secs) Wait for carrier (30 secs), Re-enable (15 secs) Dialer state is idle ----- snip -----
2. Enter the show running command to see the current configuration:
hq-sanjose# show running Building configuration... Current configuration: ! ---- snip ---- ! interface Serial0:23 no ip address no ip directed-broadcast dialer rotary-group 1 isdn incoming-voice modem ! interface Serial1:23 no ip address no ip directed-broadcast dialer rotary-group 1 isdn incoming-voice modem ! interface Serial2:23 no ip address no ip directed-broadcast dialer rotary-group 1 isdn incoming-voice modem ! interface Serial3:23 no ip address no ip directed-broadcast dialer rotary-group 1 isdn incoming-voice modem ! ---- snip ---- ! interface Dialer1 ip address 10.1.254.1 255.255.255.0 no ip directed-broadcast encapsulation ppp no ip mroute-cache dialer in-band dialer idle-timeout 1800 dialer-group 2 peer default ip address pool dialin_pool no fair-queue no cdp enable ppp authentication chap pap ppp multilink ! dialer-list 2 protocol ip permit ! ---- snip ----
You must configure additional parameters to enable synchronous PPP services for the remote sites. Each remote site must have the following three entries configured on the Cisco AS5300:
Table 2-4 summarizes the critical parameters used by DDR, which works primarily at the addressing layer. These IP address routes are stored in the routing table when the sites are not connected.
| Site Hardware | WAN IP Address | Ethernet IP Address | Assigned Phone Number | Host Name/ User Name | Username Password |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cisco AS5300 | 10.1.254.1 255.255.255.0 | 10.1.1.10 255.255.255.0 | 4085551234 | hq-sanjose | hq-sanjose-pw |
Cisco 1604 | 10.1.254.4 255.255.255.0 | 10.1.4.1 255.255.255.0 | Directory number = 5125554433 | robo-austin | austin-pw |
Cisco 766 | 10.1.254.3 255.255.255.0 | 10.1.3.1 255.255.255.0 | Directory number = 5305558084 | soho-tahoe | tahoe-pw |
In this case study, hq-sanjose does not dial out to the remote sites. The pound sign (#), shown in Steps 6 and 7 below and in the output of the show running command, is used to map the remote site's name to the IP address.
To enable the remote LANs to dial in to the Cisco AS5300, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
![]() |
Note Be sure to use your own usernames and passwords for the remote sites. |
hq-sanjose(config)# username robo-austin password austin-pw
Step 2 Enable IP routing for the robo-austin subnet.
hq-sanjose(config)# ip route 10.1.4.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.254.4 permanent
Step 3 Specify the soho-tahoe username and password.
hq-sanjose(config)# username soho-tahoe password tahoe-pw
Step 4 Enable IP routing for the soho-tahoe subnet.
hq-sanjose(config)# ip route 10.1.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.254.3 permanent
Step 5 Enter interface dialer 1.
hq-sanjose(config)# interface dialer 1
Step 6 Create a dialer map entry to the robo-austin router.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# dialer map ip 10.1.254.4 name robo-austin #
Step 7 Create a dialer map entry to the soho-tahoe router.
hq-sanjose(config-if)# dialer map ip 10.1.254.3 name soho-tahoe #
Enter the show running command to verify the configuration of the remote LAN site parameters:
hq-sanjose# show running Building configuration...

Note If you want the Cisco AS5300 to initiate calls to the remote sites, you must define a dialer map phone number. This case study does not cover this option. See the Cisco IOS Dial Services Configuration Guides for more information. |
On the Cisco AS5300 NAS CLI, assign a default gateway (backhaul) routing protocol and configure its related parameters to integrate with the IP backbone. The dialer network uses static routing (assigned by the network administrator).
To configure the routing protocol, enter the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
hq-sanjose(config)#router eigrp 10hq-sanjose(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0hq-sanjose(config-router)#passive-interface dialer 1hq-sanjose(config-router)#redistribute statichq-sanjose(config-router)#no auto-summaryhq-sanjose(config-router)#exit
Step 2 Configure a summary aggregate address on the Fast Ethernet interface 0. This step summarizes the IP addresses that are advertised to the backbone.
hq-sanjose(config)# interface fastethernet 0
hq-sanjose(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp 10 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0
To verify the configuration of the default gateway (backhaul) parameters:
1. Enter the show ip eigrp topology command on the Cisco AS5300 CLI to see the IP-EIGRP topology table parameters:
hq-sanjose# show ip eigrp topology
IP-EIGRP Topology Table for process 10
Codes: P - Passive, A - Active, U - Update, Q - Query, R - Reply,
r - Reply status
P 10.1.3.0/24, 1 successors, FD is 46226176
via Redistributed (46226176/0)
P 10.1.2.0/24, 1 successors, FD is 128256
via Connected, Loopback0
P 10.1.4.0/24, 1 successors, FD is 46226176
via Redistributed (46226176/0)
P 10.1.254.0/24, 1 successors, FD is 46226176
via Connected, Dialer1
2. Enter the show running command on the Cisco AS5300 CLI to see the default gateway (backhaul) parameters:
hq-sanjose# show running Building configuration... Current configuration: ! ---- snip ---- ! router eigrp 10 redistribute static passive-interface Dialer1 network 10.0.0.0 no auto-summary ! ---- snip ----
Enter the show running command on the Cisco AS5300 NAS CLI to see the final running configuration:

Note Your configuration will not look like this example. You must customize your configuration for your own network environment. Additionally, most Cisco IOS software versions have different default settings. However, this final configuration provides a good basis for comparison. |
Save the configuration to NVRAM by entering the copy running-config startup-config command.
You must configure the remote ISDN routers before you can test DDR connections. For configuration tasks and end-to-end test examples, see the following chapters:
After you bring up your remote LANs and remote nodes, and if you decide to expand the solution to a larger dial implementation, configure the following key items on the Cisco AS5300 to support each additional remote LAN router:
![]() |
Note Replace the arguments (shown in italic) in Table 2-5 with the actual WAN IP address, host name, IP subnet address, subnet mask, and password for each additional remote LAN router. |
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
dialer map ip peer-wan-addr name hostname telephone-number | A dialer map. Creates a user entity in the security database for the remote site, which is appended to a dialer map so the central site can dial out to the remote site. |
ip route subnet mask wan-addr | Creates a static route that points to the dialer map IP address. |
username hostname password password | Creates a username and password that matches the name on the dialer map. |
