Cisco 877 as PPPoA/PPPoE bridge (no routing) - how to make it listen to IP for management?
- by Ingmar Hupp
I have a Cisco 877 configured to bridge ADSL with PPPoA to PPPoE on Vlan1. This works fine, but in this mode the only way I can configure the Cisco is via the serial console. I'd like to have the Cisco also listen on an IP address so I can telnet/ssh into it. I think the right way to go about this would be via bridge irb, but I'm not sure exactly how (or if that's even the right direction). IOS is 12.4T and my current config (cut down to essentials) is:
no ip routing
no ip cef
!
!
interface ATM0
no ip address
no ip route-cache
no atm ilmi-keepalive
pvc 0/38
encapsulation aal5snap
!
dsl operating-mode auto
bridge-group 1
!
!
interface Vlan1
no ip address
no ip route-cache
bridge-group 1
Just setting an IP address on Vlan1 didn't have the desired effect, but surely this must be possible somehow (the Draytek Vigor 120 even does it by default).
