o2 broadband configuration

o2 is one of this UK odd ISPs who is using RFC 1483 Bridge when providing ADSL2+ Internet access. Below are details provided by O2 and config build on this information.

ISP name: O2 Home Broadband  
Encapsulation: RFC 1483 Bridged
Multiplexing method: LLC-Based 
VPI: 0  
VCI: 101  
Username: leave blank  
Password: leave blank  
Domain name: leave blank  
IP address type: this depends on whether you chose our static IP address option or not:
    If you didn't choose our static IP address option, set this to dynamic IP
    If you did choose our static IP address, enter the IP address printed in your welcome letter  
DNS servers: choose to get these dynamically from the Internet provider  
NAT: enable  
Primary DNS server: 87.194.255.155  
Secondary DNS server: Leave blank 

If you have a static IP address, you should enter the following DNS server address:
Primary DNS server: 87.194.255.154
My o2 box MAC address: 00-24-17-11-22-33

A BVI (Bridged Virtual Interface)

is a virtual interface that acts like a normal routed interface. A BVI does not support bridging but actually represents the corresponding bridge group to routed interfaces. The interface number is the link between the BVI and the bridge group. Think of the BVI as the default gateway to all the bridge interfaces, all local traffic is bridged between the bridge interfaces, but the traffic that is not local to the bridge group is routed via the BVI interface.

Integrated Routing and Bridging

bridge irb command enables Integrated Routing and Bridging, then sub-interface atm0/1/0.1 and gi0/0 belong to the same Bridge Group 1 having both bridge-group 1 in their interface configurations. BVI1 (bridge virtual interface) is configured to represents both atm0/1/0.1 and gi0/0 interfaces when ip protocol is routed. Two lines at the bottom bridge 1 protocol ieee and bridge 1 route ip define the Bridge Group 1 is using IEEE bridge protocol and routes IP protocol.

Below config is working with O2 as of 8th Oct 2013, public ip address is provided by ISP dhcp server. Please see sub-interface atm0/1/0.1 command ip address dhcp therefore static ip route something like ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 O2_gateway_ip is excluded. Please think about both commands when configuring static IP address given by O2.

Please notice that static ip route has been excluded because ip address and default gateway are optained from ISP dhcp server. Here default gateway is: S 82.132.253.115 [254/0] via 93.96.104.1, ATM0/1/0.1. This command is not needed for dynamic public IP address assignment via DHCP since that's the whole point of using DHCP. In other words, the default gateway should appear in routing table due to DHCP process with the ISP and not by manual configuration. The only time you need to manually configure the default gateway using DHCP is when you need to change the route administrative distance into something that fits your need. Should this be your choice, the command is the following:ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dhcp [ENTER NEW ADMINISTRATIVE DISTANCE HERE] Reference: Configure router with integrated ADSL modem as DHCP client

BT ADSL2+

General settings for broadband modems/routers:

• radius ppp username: broadband.user@btbroadband.com [provided by BT]
• radius ppp password: it is not required as BT uses the phone number you're connecting via for authentication but if your router still shouts for one, use: 'BT', 'password', 'password1'
• VPI number: 0
• VCI number: 38
• Authentication: CHAP
• Modulation: G.DMT
• Encapsulation: PPP over ATM (PPPoA); Virtual Circuit Multiplexing (VC-MUX)
• Multiplexing: VC-based or VC Mux

Experimental

PPP can insert a dynamic default route whenever IPCP negotiations succeed (and remove it when the line protocol goes down). To configure this feature (introduced in IOS releases 12.3(11)T and 12.4), use the ppp ipcp route default interface configuration command on the primary dialer interface.

Ping atm interface command

Use the ping atm interface command to determine whether a particular PVC is in use. The PVC does not need to be configured on the router to use this command.

PVC - permanent virtual circuit
ATM - asynchronous transfer mode

Determining If a PVC Is in Use

r1#ping atm interface aTM 0/0/0 0 38 seg-loopback
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 53-byte segment OAM echoes, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

This command sends five OAM F5 loopback packets to the DSLAM (segment OAM packets). If the PVC is configured at the DSLAM, the ping is successful.

r1#ping atm interface aTM 0/0/0 0 38 end-loopback
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 53-byte end-to-end OAM echoes, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

Please note that ATM OAM Ping Feature returns unsuccessful ping on BT-ADSL line. I am not sure about others.

SNR and Line Attenuation

SNR is Signal to Noise Ratio ** (aka Noise Margin or Signal to Noise Margin)

Relative strength of the DSL signal to Noise ratio. 6dB is the lowest dB manufactures specify for modem to be able to synch. In some instances interleaving can help raise the noise margin to an acceptable level. The higher the number the better for this measurement. The lower the SNR, the louder noise is on your line in comparison to the ADSL signal, so higher SNR is always better. Low SNR doesnt always mean low speed, more often than not it causes reliability issues, but depending on just how bad the noise is, it can eat away at subcarriers, which will lower your overall speed

• 6dB or below is bad and will experience no synch or intermittent synch problems
• 7dB-10dB is fair but does not leave much room for variances in conditions
• 11dB-20dB is good with no synch problems
• 20dB-28dB is excellent
• 29dB or above is outstanding

Loop Att. is Line Attenuation

Measure of how much the signal has degraded between the DSLAM and the modem. Maximum signal loss recommendation is usually about 60dB. The lower the dB the better for this measurement.

• 20dB and below is outstanding
• 20dB-30dB is excellent
• 30dB-40dB is very good
• 40dB-50dB is good
• 50dB-60dB is poor and may experience connectivity issues
• 60dB or above is bad and will experience connectivity issues

Output Power

How much power modem (upstream) or DSLAM (downstream) is using. Maximum recommended is about 15dB. The lower the power the better for this measurement.

DSL routers, in addition to the actual SNR, may define signal-to-noise margin (SNR margin) as the difference between the actual SNRand the SNRrequired to sync at a specific speed. For example:

actual SNR = 44dB

SNR to sync at 8Mbit/s = 35dB

SNR margin = 44-35= 9dB

As with actual SNR, the higher that SNRmargin number, the better and above 6dB is acceptable.

SNR Adjustment for Stability

Go into global configuration mode and type the following:

service internal
int atm 0
dsl noise-margin (a value between -3 and 3)

The service internal command exposes the dsl noise-margin command (and other hidden/non standard commands). The dsl noise-margin forces the router to training at a higher noise margin (sacrificing speed for stability). Setting this to 3 for example should see you get a higher noise margin, slower speed (and depending on firmware) a higher attenuation. Start at 3 and work your way down to 0 in 0.5 steps until you get a stable connection. A value of 0 is the same as not having this command at all (eg: normal settings). If you add a dsl noise-margin command, after a reload you’ll see “WARNING: Unsupported Command. May cause violation to ADSL standards.” on bootup, ignore it, it’s just the addition of the noise-margin command. Use the dsl noise-margin command to fine tune your connection to get that extra stability if required.

Interleaving

When a customer is put on a "Noise Profile" usually their DSL line is changed from FastPath to Interleaved.

Interleaving is an error correction protocol that is implemented for your line at the DSLAM. With Interleaving enabled, the DSLAM can correct errors in the data stream it receives before passing that data to your gateway router. It is usually implemented on noisy or marginal lines and can greatly increase sync stability and effectively eliminate "first hop" packet loss. The largest drawback to Interleaving is that it will increase your ping time, specifically to your first hop gateway router.

If Interleaving is not enabled on your line, it is configured as FastPath. FastPath allows the DSLAM to pass the data received from you to the first hop router without performing any error correction. As a result, marginal lines could experience an increase in packet loss and decrease in sync stability (i.e. frequent sync loss). However, FastPath has lower ping times, especially to the first hop router.

Friendly Advice/Time Saver: Even though you may (after a large amount of effort) be able to call the Helpdesk and get switched to Fastpath, there's usually a reason you are interleaved, so you may or may not be able to connect without it. Typically, the system will automatically switch back to interleaved after a short time anyway.
