Routing with Cisco 700 Series for LAN-ISDN Service

Configuration

The Cisco 700 series was purchased from Combinet by Cisco. They continue to use the version of OS that was originally on it and have no plans to convert it to the standard Cisco IOS. Therefore, the configuration does not look like a standard Cisco configuration.

To configure a LAN-ISDN account, you need only change the parameters that are always set in the router to match what our standard customer needs. Stated another way, the router has a huge configuration and it is always present. We need only modify it slightly to get it to work. It is also set up in levels and uses the CD command to go from level to level.

Ethernet info is under USER LAN, while WAN is setup under an arbitrary USER, which I will call USERNAME.

Since the router was purchased from another vendor by Cisco and they have not changed it to IOS, they have left some "profiles" that are always intact. The first thing that we need to do is disable those profiles. To do that use the following proceedure:

CD INTERNAL
RESET USER INTERNAL

The router will ask if you are sure and may object; just answer "Yes" and hit Return.

CD STANDARD
RESET USER STANDARD

Again just like above, the router will ask if you are sure and may object; just answer "Yes" and hit Return.

The following are all system parameters that are set from the root or base level:

CD SET SCREENLENGTH 20
SET COUNTRYGROUP 1
SET MULTIDESTINATION ON
SET SWITCH [SWITCH TYPE]
SET 1 SPID [SPID 1]
SET 1 DIRECTORYNUMBER [DIR 1]
SET 2 SPID [SPID 2]
SET 2 DIRECTORYNUMBER [DIR 2]
SET AUTODETECTION ON
SET BRIDGING OFF
SET SPEED AUTO
SET SYSTEMNAME [ROUTERNAME]

The following are modifications to the default configuration that will keep the connection up for 10 min / 600 seconds before dropping due to inactivity:

TIMEOUT 1 DURATION 600
TIMEOUT 2 DURATION 600

The following is the Ethernet setup. We only need to turn on routing and set IP and mask:

SET USER LAN
SET IP ROUTING ON
SET IP ADDRESS [LAN IP ADDRESS]
SET IP NETMASK [SUBNET NETMASK]

Here is the section where we setup the dialup profile, including number to dial, username and password:

SET USER PSINET
SET PROFILE ID 000000000000
SET PROFILE POWERUP ACTIVATE
SET PROFILE DISCONNECT KEEP
SET BRIDGING OFF
SET 1 NUMBER [1st POP NUMBER]
SET 2 NUMBER [1st POP NUMBER]
set 1 BACKUPNUMBER [2nd POP NUMBER]
set 2 BACKUPNUMBER [2nd POP NUMBER]
SET IP ROUTING ON
SET IP ADDRESS 0.0.0.0
SET IP NETMASK 0.0.0.0
SET IP FRAMING NONE
SET IP ROUTE DEST 0.0.0.0/0 GATEWAY 38.1.1.1 PROPAGATE ON COST 1

NOTE: Do not cut and paste the following two lines: TYPE THEM IN MANUALLY!

SET PPP CLIENTNAME [DIALUP/RADIUS USERNAME]
SET PPP PASS CLIENT [DIALUP/RADIUS PASSWORD]

To setup the telnet password, enter the following:

SET SYSTEM PASSWORD [TELNET PASSWORD]
