Re: [General] Correct Cisco WIC for SBC DSL? said by shorun:If nobody has specifics I'd still like to discuss options for a DSL modem that is transparent and doesn't filter packets or perform NAT - even better if it has only a CLI and no web interface.
Netopia/Motorola 3347N is another possibility.
You can ignore the web setup an use only telnet cli.
In bridge mode it just passes packets.
I have extra if you are interested. |

| Hey, thanks guys, good call. I got a speedstream 5100 bridge. You can't even log into the web interface without manually creating an ARP entry. So far it appears to be completely transparent, and no more issues with being disconnected / having to reauthenticate. Perfect.
I was also able to get my ASA to grab an IP via PPPoE by using this:
interface Vlan2
nameif outside
security-level 0
pppoe client vpdn group sbcpppoe
ip address pppoe setroute
vpdn group sbcpppoe request dialout pppoe
vpdn group sbcpppoe localname me@sbcglobal.net
vpdn group sbcpppoe ppp authentication pap
vpdn username *****@sbcglobal.net password ***** store-local
Thank you for your help |

| Thanks for pissing on my parade! That is a good point - but I do have a Siemens 4100 I can plug in for troubleshooting 
The 4100 gave me a bunch of problems though. When I would fire up certain games or run NMAP it would flip out and log me off. I'd have to power cycle my modem and firewall, and then go to the web interface and click "Connect". Huge pain... works fine now |

kudos:7 | The 4100 modems had problems with too many connections when the modem was handling the PPPoE. Certain online games expected to make more connections than the modem's limited NAT memory could handle and the modem would reboot.
The last available firmware update helped this problem some, but the real cure is to run the modem in bridged mode and let the router behind it handle the PPPoE encapsulation.

Do not use ppp on the modem. Get one that has line statistics, put it in a bridge mode, and use one of many techniques to access it in front of the firewall. |

Ah - I had determined the problem to be too many Xlates / connections, but didn't know you could put it in bridged mode. I'll try that when my 5100 overheats. I actually found the 5100 in our ewaste closet at work, and I think there is a netopia floating around somewhere too.
Thank you for the insight on this. |
