About This Guide
New Features for this Release
This version of the Hotwire DSL Routers User’s Guide documents firmware
release 4.4, which adds the following new features for the Hotwire 6351
ReachDSL Router:
IP passthrough. This feature allows the router to pass through or share its
public IP address with a single LAN device. The DSL router establishes a
PPPoE and PPP session with the Network Access Server (NAS). The public
IP address is negotiated via IPCP, installed on the router’s DSL interface, and
served to the passthrough device via DHCP.
Automatic configuration of options provided by the DHCP server to its clients.
This feature is available when PPPoE is enabled and is the default unless
explicitly refused by the user. This allows the DHCP Server option
configuration items to be set automatically with values negotiated during the
network layer protocol phase of PPP (IPCP).
Secondary DNS server. The DHCP server can specify a secondary DNS
server in its offer to a client.
No router option required. Configuration of the DHCP Server feature no longer
requires that a value for the Router option be specified.

Introduction to Hotwire
DSL Routers
What is a Hotwire DSL Router?
The Hotwire® DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) Router operates as a bridge and IP
router connecting a DSL link to an Ethernet network. This system provides
high-speed access to the Internet or a corporate network over a traditional
twisted-pair copper telephone line to the end user.
DSL Technologies Supported
Paradyne’s Hotwire DSL network supports the following types of technologies:
1
Hotwire IDSL (ISDN DSL) products provide IDSL multirate symmetric packet
transport and can operate over a connection with an ISDN repeater or digital
facilities. Data rates of 64 Kbps, 128 Kbps, or 144 Kbps can be configured.
Hotwire SDSL (Symmetric DSL) packet-based products provide high-speed
symmetric DSL services with bandwidth for business applications. These
products are configurable from 144 Kbps up to 2.3 Mbps. This gives service
providers the opportunity to sell multiple services with a single product.
Hotwire ReachDSL™ packet-based products provide high-speed Internet or
corporate LAN access over traditional twisted-pair copper telephone wiring,
regardless of line conditions (poor quality loops, long loops, or bad wiring at
customer premises), for guaranteed service delivery up to 18,000 feet. These
products are configurable from 128 Kbps up to 960 Kbps and give service
providers the opportunity to sell multiple services using a single product.
Hotwire RADSL (Rate Adaptive DSL) products are applicable for both
asymmetric and symmetric applications. The 1 Mbps symmetric operation is
ideal for traditional business applications while the 7 Mbps downstream with
1.1 Mbps upstream asymmetric operation provides added bandwidth for
corporate Internet access. RADSL products can also save line costs by
optionally supporting simultaneous data and voice over the same line.

1. Introduction to Hotwire DSL Routers
Typical DSL Router System
DSL is a local loop technology that uses standard twisted-pair copper wire to
support high-speed access over a single pair of twisted copper wires. DSL
applications are point-to-point, requiring DSL devices at central and end-user
sites.
Hotwire DSL routers interoperate with the following types of Hotwire DSL line
cards, at the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) or GranDSLAM
chassis, to deliver applications at high speeds, supporting packet services over a
DSL link:
Hotwire 8303 or 8304 IDSL Cards interoperate with two Hotwire IDSL Routers:
— Hotwire 6301 IDSL Router with one Ethernet port
— Hotwire 6302 IDSL Router with a 4-port Ethernet hub
Hotwire 8343 or 8344 SDSL Cards interoperate with two Hotwire Symmetric
DSL Routers:
— Hotwire 6341 SDSL Router with one Ethernet port
— Hotwire 6342 SDSL Router with a 4-port Ethernet hub
Hotwire 8312 or 8314 ReachDSL Cards interoperate with the Hotwire 6351
ReachDSL Router with one Ethernet port
Hotwire 8510, 8373, and 8374 RADSL Cards interoperate with the Hotwire
6371 RADSL Router with one Ethernet port
The following illustration shows a typical Hotwire system with a Hotwire DSL
Router. All Hotwire DSL routers transport data. The Hotwire 6371 RADSL Router

Accessing the DSL Router
Access Control to the DSL Router
The Hotwire DSL Router can be managed from an NMS using SNMP or from the
Command Line Interface (CLI). There are several methods available for accessing
the command line interface:
Local access at the DSL router through the Console port.
Access by a Telnet session (controlled through the management interface at
the Hotwire chassis).
For the Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router, access by a Telnet session from the
service domain.
2
Levels of Access
The Hotwire DSL Router accepts only one login session at a time.
There are two levels of privileges on the Hotwire DSL system:
Administrator. The Administrator has two levels of access to the DSL router.
— Administrator, configuration mode: Provides complete write access to the
DSL router.
Operator. The Operator has read-only access to display device information
with no modification permission and no access to management functions.
Refer to Appendix A, Command Line Interface, for access level details for each
command line entry.
For local console access, the Operator and Administrator have the same Login ID,
but with different passwords for their access level. For Telnet access through the
service domain for the ReachDSL Router, up to four login/password/access level
combinations can be configured.
6300-A2-GB20-10November 20032-1
2. Accessing the DSL Router
Local Console Access
Your user account can be configured with one user login name and different
passwords for accessing a CLI session. The DSL router ships with the local
console enabled. After login, the local console can be disabled.
To disable with the local console, type:
Press Enter after each command that you type.
Entering console disable results in NO local access to the DSL router. If
you attempt to log in, you will receive an error message.
After saving this change and ending the session, there is no local access
through the console port. Any access must be through a Telnet session or
the NMS.
To determine via a Telnet session whether a console is enabled, enter:
console disable
save
exit
show console
One of the following messages is returned:
— console enabled – Command line management is available at the
console.
— console disabled – No command line management is available at the
console.
Changing Access Session Levels
To change the Administrator access level, enter:
admin enable
This command provides Administrator access privileges. The router responds
with a prompt to enter the password for Administrator access.
To end the Administrator access level, enter:
admin disable
This command ends the Administrator session. No password is needed.
Entering exit has the same result. Refer to Exiting from the System on
page 2-7 for further details on ending a session.
To determine the access level for a session, refer to Determining the Current
Access Level on page 2-5.
2-2 November 20036300-A2-GB20-10
Setting Up the New User’s Login
A login prompt appears when the local console connection is first established.
When the login prompt appears, a locally connected console defaults to Console
Enabled, with Operator access.
Procedure
To access the router’s CLI for the first-time:
1. At the initial Login> prompt, type the default login ID paradyne and press
Enter.
2. At the Password> prompt (for Operator), type the default password abc123
and press Enter. The login ID and password are validated together when a
login is entered.
3. At the system identity of CUSTOMER> prompt, type admin enable and press
Enter.
4. At the Password> prompt (for Administrator), type the default password
abc123 and press Enter.
2. Accessing the DSL Router
System identity changes to the Administrator display mode of CUSTOMER#>.
5. Type configure terminal and press Enter.
System identity changes to the Administrator configuration mode of
CUSTOMER - CONFIG#>.
6. To change or add a new login ID, enter text to replace the default of
paradyne:
name your new login ID
NOTE:
Login ID and password are NOT case-sensitive.
7. Enter a new password and specify the level:

Telnet Access
8. At the prompt, enter the new Administrator-level password to replace abc123:
password admin new password
save
NOTE:
Any input during an Administrator configuration session must be saved
while still in configuration mode.
If denied access during a Telnet session, the session stops and an error is logged.
If accessing the router locally and a Telnet session is active, you receive a
Local console disabled by conflict message.
Telnet access through the management interface in the DSLAM is always enabled
and defaults to Administrator level. For information on accessing the router
through the MCC card in the DSLAM, see the Hotwire Management Communications Controller (MCC) Card, IP Conservative, User’s Guide.
For the Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router, Telnet access from the service domain is
allowed. Telnet Login and a user name and password should be configured if
Telnet access is enabled on the router (the factory default is disable). Up to four
access level/login/password combinations can be configured for the service
domain from which the ReachDSL Router will accept Telnet connections when the
Telnet login feature is enabled.
NOTE:
For network security, Telnet access in the service domain should be disabled
after the the initial remote configuration unless a firewall or some other
security mechanism is used at the subscriber management system. This
ensures that Telnet access to the endpoint is limited to the service provider.
Procedure
To set up Telnet access from the service domain:
1. Type configure terminal and press Enter.
System identity changes to the Administrator configuration mode of
CUSTOMER - CONFIG#>.
2. Enable Telnet access form the service domain. Enter:

Automatically Logging Out
The DSL router has an automatic timeout feature that logs you out of the system
after five minutes of inactivity. Unsaved configuration input is lost. The default for
the autologout command is enable.
When autologout is:
Enabled, the system inactivity timer is enabled.
Disabled, the system inactivity timer is disabled.
To log back in, press Enter at the console to display the Login> prompt.
For Telnet access through the service domain for the ReachDSL Router, the Telnet
session is automatically closed after a user-configurable number of minutes. The
default for the telnet timeout command is 5 (minutes). The telnet timeout command overrides the 5-minute limit enabled by the autologout
command. Also, the telnet keep-alive command can be enabled which
allows the ReachDSL Router to close the Telnet session if it detects that the
service domain Telnet client has crashed and is down or has rebooted.

Configuring the DSL Router
DSL Router Configuration Overview
Hotwire DSL Routers support various customer premises distribution networks
that contain IP forwarding devices or routers, as well as locally attached hosts
or subnets. The Hotwire DSL Router’s IP Routing Table contains IP address and
subnet mask information.
The DSL router supports Internet Protocol, as specified in RFC 791, and Internet
Control Message Protocol (ICMP), as specified in RFCs 792 and 950. It acts as a
router (or gateway), as defined in RFC 791. It also acts as a bridge, bridging all
traffic in the service domain, or routing IP traffic and bridging all other traffic in the
service domain, without affecting traffic in the management domain.
3
For more information on supported RFCs, refer to Appendix C, Traps and MIBs.
The DSL Router’s Interfaces
Hotwire DSL Routers have two interfaces: the DSL interface and the Ethernet
interface.
DSL Interface
The router’s interface type is determined by its model number:
— Models 6301 and 6302 are Hotwire IDSL Routers.
— Models 6341 and 6342 are Hotwire SDSL Routers.
— Model 6351 is the Hotwire ReachDSL Router.
— Model 6371 is the Hotwire RADSL Router.
The DSL interface has a unique MAC address, assigned before the router is
shipped.
6300-A2-GB20-10November 20033-1
3. Configuring the DSL Router
Ethernet Interface
— The Ethernet interface is a 10/100BaseT interface that automatically
negotiates the rate to be used, 10 Mb or 100 Mb. If all Ethernet-attached
devices are capable of operating at 100 Mb, the router defaults to 100 Mb.
Otherwise, it operates at 10 Mb.
— The interface can be configured for either DIX or IEEE 802.3 frame format.
When configured to use IEEE 802.3 format, SNAP encapsulation is used,
as specified in RFC 1042.
— The interface has a unique MAC address, assigned before the router is
shipped.
— Hotwire 6302 IDSL and 6342 SDSL Routers have a hub configuration
(separate pins for input and output) with four Ethernet connectors. The
hub acts as a bit-level repeater, with the four Ethernet interfaces logically
appearing as one Ethernet communications interface with a single
collision domain.
— In router mode, the router only accepts transmissions on the Ethernet
interface with the interface’s MAC address, or a broadcast or multicast
MAC address.
— In bridge mode, the router accepts all transmissions. This is the default
setting.
Interface Identifiers
The following conventions are used for naming router interfaces:
dsl1 (or d0) – Identifier for the DSL interface.
eth1 (or e0) – Identifier for the Ethernet interface.
With exception to primary status, an interface cannot be deleted or changed as
long as there is a declared route that uses the interface.
Service Domain IP Address Assignments
Hotwire DSL Routers support multiple service domains.
Service domains are defined by the configured network addresses and subnet
masks using the CLI.
Up to four service domain IP addresses and subnet masks can be assigned to
each DSL (dsl1) or Ethernet (eth1) interface.
When a numbered interface is designated as the primary interface, that interface’s
IP address is used as the Router ID. If no interface is designated as the primary
interface, the last numbered interface that was created becomes the Router ID.
3-2 November 20036300-A2-GB20-10
Numbered DSL or Ethernet Interface
In this scenario, the hosts attached to the DSL router’s Ethernet interface are on a
different logical network than the core router. The DSL router is the next hop router
for the hosts. The DSL router’s upstream next hop router is the core router.
Simplified Network Topology
3. Configuring the DSL Router
Core
Router
Hosts can be assigned IP addresses on the network attached to the DSL router’s
Ethernet interface either statically or dynamically using DHCP. The upstream next
hop router is assigned an address on a different logical network than the hosts.
To configure the router’s interfaces using this scenario, you must:
Enable routing on the DSL router.
Assign an IP address to the Ethernet interface, eth1.
Assign an IP address to the DSL interface, dsl1.
Assign an upstream next hop router (not necessary necessary when using
FUNI/MPOA DSL link encapsulation or when the PPPoE client is enabled).
Unnumbered DSL Interface
In this LAN extension application scenario, hosts connected to a corporate
network for virtual office connections or telecommuters want to look like they are
on the same network as the core router. The core router is the next hop router
for the hosts and is on the same logical network as the hosts. This is not the
same as enabling Bridging mode.

Router
Host
(End Users)
99-16609
To configure the router’s interfaces for this scenario, you must:
Enable routing on the DSL router.
Assign an IP address to Ethernet interface (eth1).
Specify the DSL interface (dsl1) as unnumbered.
Assign an upstream next hop router (not necessary necessary when using
FUNI/MPOA DSL link encapsulation or when the PPPoE client is enabled).
Enable Proxy ARP for both the eth1 and dsl1 interfaces (not necessary to
enable Proxy ARP on the dsl1 interface when using FUNI/MPOA DSL link
encapsulation or when the PPPoE client is enabled).

3. Configuring the DSL Router
IP Routing
Hotwire DSL Routers use destination-based routing for downstream traffic. An IP
Routing Table is maintained to specify how IP datagrams are forwarded
downstream. The DSL Router is capable of supporting static routes configured by
the user. This table can be viewed by both Operator and Administrator access
levels.
The DSL router uses source-based forwarding for upstream traffic to ensure that
packets are forwarded to the upstream router specified for the configured service
domain.
Refer to Chapter 4, DSL Router Configuration Examples, for further details.
