Memory Requirements
The memory required for running the SOHO 76 and SOHO 77 and 77H routers is as follows:
8 MB of Flash memory
16 MB of dynamic RAM (DRAM)
The Flash memory and DRAM cannot be upgraded.

Software Requirements
The SOHO 76, SOHO 77 and SOHO 77H routers support a subset of the IP/Firewall feature set.

Configuration Instructions
This section contains configuration instructions for the SOHO 76,77, and 77H routers.

Configuring a Bridged RFC 1483 DHCP Client

Perform the following steps to configure bridged RFC 1483 DHCP client support:

Step 1 Configure the Bridge Group Virtual Interface (BVI) interface by entering the ip address dhcp client-id
Ethernet 0 command.
Specifying the value client-id ethernet 0 means that the MAC address of the Ethernet interface will be
used as the client ID when the DHCP request is sent. Otherwise, the MAC address of the BVI interface
is used as the client ID.
Step 2 Configure Network Address Translation (NAT):
a. Configure the BVI interface by entering the ip nat outside command.
b. Configure the Ethernet interface by entering the ip nat inside command.
c. Create an access list under NAT by entering the access-list 1 permit ip address command to match
all Ethernet IP addresses.
d. Configure the source list under NAT by entering the
ip nat inside source list 1 interface BVI 1 overload command.
Step 3 Configure the SOHO router to act as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. This step
is optional.
a. At the (config-if)# router prompt, enter the ip dhcp pool server name command.
b. Enter the import all command to have the SOHO series router retrieve the Microsoft Windows name
server (WINS) and Domain Name System (DNS) server addresses for name resolution.

Configuration Example
The following example shows a configuration of the DHCP client:

Configuring a Bridged RFC 1483 Interface with a Static IP Address

Perform the following steps to configure the router for bridged RFC 1483 with a static IP address:

Step 1 Configure the BVI interface by entering the ip address static address 0 command.
Step 2 Configure NAT.
a. Configure the BVI interface by entering the ip nat outside command.
b. Configure the Ethernet interface by entering the ip nat inside command.
c. Create an access list under NAT by entering the access-list 1 permit ip address command to match
all Ethernet IP addresses.
d. Configure the source list under NAT by entering the
ip nat inside source list 1 interface BVI 1 overload command.
e. Configure the static route command ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 gateway-address, where
gateway-address is provided by your service provider.
Step 3 Configure the router to act as a DHCP server. This step is optional.
a. At the (config-if)# router prompt, enter the ip dhcp pool server name command.
b. Enter the import all command to have the router retrieve the Microsoft Windows name server
(WINS) and Domain Name System (DNS) server addresses for name resolution.

Configuring PPP over Ethernet

This feature supports the PPPoE client on an ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC). Only one PPPoE
client on a single ATM PVC is supported. Figure 1 shows a typical deployment scenario for PPPoE
support.

Note The PPPoE configuration procedure and example in this section are different from those appearing
in previous editions of this release note. The vpdn enable and vpdn group commands have been
removed from the procedure and example because they are no longer supported on the SOHO 77 or
SOHO 77H routers.

Figure 1 PPPoE Deployment Scenarios

Router DSL modem DSLAM Access
concentrator
A PPPoE session is initiated on the client side by the network shown in Figure 1. If the session has a
timeout, or if it is disconnected, the PPPoE client immediately attempts to reestablish the session.
Follow these steps to configure the router for PPPoE client support:

Step 1 Configure the ATM interface with PPPoE support:

a. Configure the ATM interface by entering the interface atm 0 command.
b. Specify the ATM PVC by entering the pvc number command.
c. Configure the PPPoE client and specify the dialer interface to use for cloning by entering the
pppoe-client dial-pool-number number command.
Step 2 Configure the dialer interface by entering the int dialer number command:
a. Configure the IP address as negotiated by entering the ip address negotiated command.
b. Configure authentication for your network by entering the ppp authentication protocol command.
This step is optional.
c. Configure the dialer pool number by entering the dialer pool number command.
d. Configure the dialer-group number by entering the dialer-group number command.
e. Configure a dialer list for the dialer-group by entering the dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit
command.

Note Multiple PPPoE clients can run on a different PVCs, in which case, each client has to use a separate
dialer interface and a separate dialer pool, and the PPP parameters must be applied on the dialer
interface.

If you enter the clear pppoe command with a PPPoE client session already established, the PPPoE client
session terminates and the PPPoE client immediately tries to reestablish the session.

MMI Support
The Modem Management Interface (MMI) is software that enables auto-provisioning for the SOHO 76,
77, and 77H routers. The MMI uses a fixed PVC to communicate with the proxy element (PE) that
resides on the digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM). Using MMI, the router updates the
running image. Then the router downloads the prescribed configuration using a configuration file or
configuration values in a provisioning information database.

Configuring MMI for Auto-Provisioning

The customer premises equipment (CPE) can be automatically configured by using the Cisco digital
subscriber line (DSL) CPE download, but the CPE can be configured only with the image provisioning
feature. The following provisioning configuration files are not supported:
profiles
Cisco DSL CPE Manager (CDCM) objects below the CPE level (that is, the ATM virtual channel
connection [VCC] objects)
propVirtual objects and interface objects (ATMif and Ethernetif)

Configuration Note for the Cisco SOHO 76 and 77 Routers

10 OL-2479-02
 Configuration Instructions

Follow these steps to configure the router for MMI support in configure-terminal mode:

Step 1 To set the configuration approach for MMI, enter one of the following commands:
mmi auto-configure
no mmi auto-configure
If the auto-configure parameter is enabled, the router is provisioned by the PE. By default, this parameter
is enabled.
If the auto-configure parameter is disabled, the router is configured by the startup configuration file.
Step 2 To set the polling interval for the router to check the PE for any updated image or configuration files,
enter the following command:
mmi polling-interval time
where time is the number of seconds. The polling-interval range is from 1 to 65535, with the default set
to 60 seconds.
Step 3 To set the ATM PVC so the MMI communicates with the PE, enter the following command:
mmi pvc vpi/vci
where vpi/vci is the virtual path identifier/virtual channel identifier. The default PVC for MMI is 0/16
ilmi, but if it is not available, you must set the specific PVC for the router to communicate with the PE.
Step 4 To set the timer to monitor the image file download, enter the following command in configure terminal
mode:
mmi snmp-timeout time
where time is 1 to 1800 seconds, which is the allowed interval for downloading any two consecutive
blocks. If you enter the no mmi snmp-timeout command, the default time is set to 180 seconds.
Step 5 To eliminate the ADSL line training delay, enter the following command:
dsl operating-mode auto
If the DSLAM is using a Cisco 4xDMT ADI-based card, enter the following command:
dsl operating-mode ansi-dmt
Step 6 To set up the debug process for MMI, enter the following command:
debug mmi
Step 7 Save the configuration file to NVRAM, and enter the reload command. The routers OK LED on the
front panel blinks while the image is being auto-provisioned. The PVC is set up when the reboot occurs.

Notes for the DSL Provider

To use the Cisco automated configuration solution with SOHO 76, 77 and SOHO 77H CPE, follow these
steps:

Step 1 Enable the MMI configuration, as described in the Configuring MMI for Auto-Provisioning section
on page 10.

 Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request

Step 2 Ping from the DSLAM to the CPE to ensure the DSLAM is a PE host.
Step 3 Store the MMI configuration file on an FTP server that acts as the PEs image server.
Step 4 Use CDCM to add the configuration file to the PEs image table. The image file can also be added to
the PE.
Step 5 Use CDCM to deploy the CPE. You can manually deploy it, or you can use autodiscovery to deploy
multiple CPEs.
Step 6 Use CDCM to provision an image for each CPE, which will associate a specific configuration file to the
CPE.
