Combinet Sample Configurations



CISCO IOS BRI IPX Router to CPA 75x IPX Router -PPP CHAP -RIP

Main Site router

>set systemname HQConfigures a system name for the router - this name will be sent as the username when authenticating with the called router
HQ>set ppp secret clientprompts for chap password
Enter Password: happy
ReEnter Password: happyPassword will be sent when challenged from the destination router
HQ>set encapsulation pppEnables ppp encapsulation for the router
HQ>set ppp authentication incoming chapConfigures PPP authentication based on incoming calls only. The "Incoming" is a system parameter and can not be set on a per-profile basis.
HQ>cd lanChanges directory in order to configure the LAN profile
HQ:LAN>set bridging offDisables bridging in the LAN profile
HQ:LAN>set ipx routing onEnables ipx routing in the LAN profile
HQ:LAN>set ipx framing 802.3Configures IPX frame type for the local lan segment to 802.3
HQ:LAN>set ipx rip update periodicConfigures ipx rip and sap updates to be sent out to the local ethernet segment on a periodic basis. Do not change this parameter as this is what most local ipx servers require. As long as there is an IPX (NOVELL) server on the local lan the ipx network number will be learned.
HQ>set user remoteCreates a user profile in order to configure parameters for outgoing/incoming calls - may also be refered to as the WAN interface for which the 750 series may have multiple virtual (accomplished by the use of different profiles) for the same physical interface
HQ:remote>set bridging offDisables bridging at the user profile
HQ:remote>set 1 number 14085224567Configures the channel 1 phone number to be called when this profile is initiated
HQ:remote>set 2 number 14085224567Configures the channel 2 phone number to be called when this profile is initiated
HQ:remote>set timeout 120Configures the amount of time in seconds before the ISDN line will be disconnected if there is no Ethernet activity.
HQ:remote>set ipx routing onEnables ipx routing in the LAN profile
HQ:remote>set ipx framing noneConfigures ipx frame type to IPCP which is required when using PPP encapsulation
HQ:remote>set ipx rip update periodicConfigures ipx rip and sap updates to be sent out to the wan on a periodic basis. Both sides must be set to the same rip update interval
HQ:remote>set ipx network AFAFConfigures the ipx network number on the wan interface. This be configured the same on both the 75x wan interface and the IOS routers wan interface (BRI0)
HQ:remote>set ppp secret hostprompts for chap password
Enter Password: happy
ReEnter Password: happyPassword that must be received when ppp authentication outgoing chap is configured.
HQ:remote>set ppp authentication outgoing chapConfigures router to authenticate when placing an outgoing call



Remote Site router

hostname remoteConfigures router name which will be used for negotiation purposes when PPP authentication is enabled. The name of this router is "remote". When configuring PPP authentication the destination router must have a username of "remote" (this is case sensitive so it must match exactly) and the same is true in terms of this router it needs the user name and password of the remote router (see below for further description)
username HQ password happyThe username "HQ" is the hostname of the destination router and is referenced in the dialer map command for authentication purposes. The username is case sensitive and must match the destination router's hostname exactly. The password happy is used as the ppp authentication password for the user HQ. It is also case sensitive and must be the same as the password for username remote on the HQ router. Note: To avoid confusion, the unencrypted form of the password happy is shown in this sample configuration. In the actual configuration, the password would appear in its encrypted form: (i.e. 7 "encrypted symbols" where 7 denotes the encryption type and the encrypted symbols are the encrypted form of the password happy) When entering or making changes to the username command, always type the password in its unencrypted form. Do not enter the encryption type (7). It is set automatically.
ipx routingConfigures IPX routing for this router. Also automatically enables rip routing
interface ethernet 0Shows the interface and its configuration (in this example it is only a header). This is also a command that changes the currant location into the preceeding interface. After changing into an interface, you may enter all needed config commands
ipx network 8888 encapsulation novell-etherConfigures the IPX network number for the ethernet lan. This is not learned and must be configured. The encapsulation portion sets the framing for the lan segment. You can use the following table to find out what encapsulation method you require. novell-ether = Ethernet_802.3 encapsulation sap = Ethernet_802.2 encapsulation arpa = Ethernet_II encapsulation snap = Ethernet_Snap encapsulation hdlc = HDLC encapsulation (serial interfaces only)
interface bri 0Shows the interface and its configuration (in this example it is only a header). This is also the command that changes the currant location into the preceeding interface. After changing into an interface, you may enter all needed config commands.
ipx network AFAFConfigures the ipx network number on the wan interface. This be configured the same on both the 75x wan interface and the IOS routers wan interface (BRI0)
encapsulation pppEnables ppp encapsulation in order to negotiate ppp
dialer map ipx AFAF.0040.f902.cbb4 name HQ broadcast 14085221234Configures ISDN interface to place a call to a specifiedsite and also aids in authentication. This command maps the specified network number (AFAF) to the mac address of the remote router (75x's MAC address 0040f902cbb4) as well as the name (HQ) of the remote router
dialer-group 1The dialer-group 1 command associates this interface with the dialer-list 1 definition. The interface will now consider anything defined in dialer-list 1 as interesting traffic and initiate a call if there is not a connection already.
ppp authentication chapEnables ppp authentication via chap (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol)
ppp multilinkEnables ppp multilink which allows the use of both B channels for traffic.
dialer-list 1 protocol ipx permitThis command defines a dialer list to control dialing by protocol or by a comination of protocol and access list. This is a global command entered at the "router name(config)#" prompt
