+John Teacake MVC Posted March 17, 2015 MVC Share Posted March 17, 2015 For testing I want to configure a Cisco ASA. I have an ADSL Line with a statically assigned IP. I want to use a Cisco 887 as a Modem or as some people call it "Dumb Mode" so that the ASA gets the IP address on the External Interface, Because the ASA doesn't have an ADSL Modem/Port The ADSL is PPPOA, I have set the Dialer up on the 887 to connect and provide the username and password etc. It works fine this way on the 887. i.e I can connect to the internet from it fine. This is a drawing of how I want to set it up. I think I need to use bridging but I have never used this before, Is this correct? Anyone know how I would go about doing this?

+John Teacake MVC Posted March 17, 2015 Author MVC Share Posted March 17, 2015 Looks like what I am trying to do is technically impossible. http://networkswoot.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/can-you-bridge-pppoa-to-asa-using-pppoe.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted March 17, 2015 MVC Share Posted March 17, 2015 Who says its impossible, sounds like what your wanting it half bridge mode. Where you login to your PPPoE stuff and it hands the public IP to device behind you. Can you do it with cicsco 887? Not sure but that is common setup to be sure. http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/hw_model_496 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted March 17, 2015 Author MVC Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yeah thats exactly what I want to do but its its not PPPoE Its PPPoA that's the issue I think. The ISP is purely PPPoA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AStaUK Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yeah thats exactly what I want to do but its its not PPPoE Its PPPoA that's the issue I think. The ISP is purely PPPoA. Are you 100% they will not accept PPPoE? I use a number of ISP's who state they use PPPoA, but still will accept PPPoE which is just as well. At the time we used Cisco 877 routers with Linksys/Draytek xDSL modems in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted March 17, 2015 MVC Share Posted March 17, 2015 Depending on the modem, some can do PPP passthru which can be used for PPPoA connections. Again what the feature set of your 887 does not mean it can't be done, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted March 17, 2015 Author MVC Share Posted March 17, 2015 Its OK I just NAT'd it. Its not a problem, It would have been nicer if I could have done it the way I wanted but its too much hastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
