Cisco 887V-k9 with Gigaspeed

[Richardson]

Hello all,
Sorry for writing in english, I have just arrived in Austria...
I am trying to install a Cisco 887V-k9 on a A1 Gigaspeed (AON) connection, IOS Version 15.1(2)T1 but without much success.

Could you point out to me where I could find configuration examples for such a cisco router over Gigaspeed?

I will be very grateful for any advice.

Paul

you may find hints in this thread:

Just a question - why don't you want to use the Pirelli modem, that is provided by A1 (former Telekom)?

Why would you drive a Fiat, if you have a Ferrari ... (not asking, if you even can handle a Ferrari)...

Thank you Jutta for pointing me out to that thread! I looked at it but could not find the full configuration which is discussed there and using the hints there I am not able to obtain an ip from A1. CD light is table, vdsl interface is up, dialer is up, though. I tried an alternate configuration http://glazenbakje.wordpress.com/2010/0 ... dutch-isp/
but it did not help.

I started to worry whether A1 Gigaspeed is compatible with 887v-k9. I know 887va is compatible because it appears on A1 white list. Maybe anyone here knows if 887v-k9 (that is without ATM interface) should work?

As for your question Gorbag, I think, as Wicked_one hinted, that cisco 887v is a top quality equipment. It is awful to configure for non-professional (like me) but once I manage to get a stable configuration I may get up-times of many months or even years.

Hi Paul,

Interesting - since your dialer interface is up, you should be getting an IP address.
You don't need an ATM interface, because gigaspeed is purely VDSL2/EFM based.

As for configuration, it should look somehow like that (also liberally stolen from the dieschmids.at forum):

controller VDSL 0
firmware filename flash:vdsl.bin.A2pv6bC014b.d22c.IOS1501M1
!
interface Ethernet0
no ip address
no fair-queue

maybe you are lacking "ip address negotiated" from the dialer interface.
This is using IOS c880data-universalk9-mz.150-1.M3.bin with a custom VDSL2 firmware file

Thank you, Stefan! Comparing my configuration with yours I see that the "ip address negotiated" is there. It was the sub-interface eth0.2 that I mis-configured. The 877v-k9 is now obtaining an IP properly, with your exact configuration. Thanks very much!
