72.9. How to configure VDSL connections using USB modems

Physical connection:

Before proceeding with the configuration, make sure to have from your ISP the followings parameters:

ParameterPossible values
EncapsulationPPPoE or IPoE
IP Address and MaskStatic (80.80.80.80/32) or Dynamic.
Login information (only for PPPoE encapsulation)Username: provider_user

Password: provider_pwd

The configuration varies depending on what encapsulation type you use.

[Note]Note

Abilis supports ONLY the Routing mode (not Bridge mode).

[Note]Note

VDSL: using PTM mode that requires Ethernet packets. Therefore It allows only IPoE and PPPoE.

72.9.1. VDSL: How to configure a PPPoE connection

Enter into the Abilis control-program or open the configuration file with the Console configurator and type the following commands.

a dev:dslusb-1Add an DSLUSB device (e.g. DSLUSB-1).
s dev:dsl-1 mode:vdslConfigure the VDSL mode.
a res:poecli-1Add a POECLI resource (e.g. POECLI-1).
a res:ip-3 subtype:pppAdd an “IP over PPP” resource (e.g. IP-3).
s p poecli-1 lowres:dsl-1Configure the DSL-1 as the lower POECLI-1 resource.
s p ip-3 lowres:poecli-1Configure the POECLI-1 as the IP-3 lower resource.
s p ip-3 ipadd:retrieve neigh:retrieve

or

s p ip-3 ipadd:80.80.80.80

Configure a dynamic IP address.

or

Configure a static IP address.

s p ip-3 username:provider_user password:provider_pwdConfigure the login information.
s p ip-3 dns:retrieveRequest DNS addresses from remote servers.
s p ip-3 tcp-mss-clamp:yesActivate the TCP MSS clamping procedure.
s p ip-3 descr:VDSL_PPPoEConfigure the description of the IP resource.
save confSave the configuration.

On a working Abilis, a system restart is required to make the DSLUSB-1 device and the IP-3 resource running.

[Tip]Tip

Remember to configure NAT settings.

72.9.2. VDSL: How to configure a IPoE connection with static IP

Enter into the Abilis control-program or open the configuration file with the Console configurator and type the following commands.

a dev:dslusb-1Add an DSLUSB device (e.g. DSLUSB-1).
s dev:dsl-1 mode:vdslConfigure the VDSL mode.
a res:ipoe-1Add a IPoE resource (e.g. IPoE-1).
a res:ip-3 subtype:lanAdd an “IP over LAN” resource (e.g. IP-3).
s p ipoe-1 lowres:dsl-1Configure the DSL-1 as the lower IPoE-1 resource.
s p ip-3 lanres:ipoe-1Configure the IPoE-1 as the IP-3 lower resource.
s p ip-3 ipadd:80.80.80.80Configure the IP address and the mask.
s p ip-3 descr:VDSL_IPoEConfigure the description of the IP resource.
save confSave the configuration.

On a working Abilis, a system restart is required to make the DSLUSB-1 device and the IP-3 resource running.
