Cisco 1921 + VDSL HWIC issue

Kei · 6 Apr 2019 at 17:46

Having finally purchased myself the necessary HWIC (VA-DSL-A) I'm now having a hell of a time setting it up. I'm trying to get it to work on bt infinity 2.

Looking at it,I don't think it's my config that's the issue, I think that it's firmware related. Having said that, I'm no expert in this so cannot be certain.

This is the main bit of the config for running the interfaces:

Code:

Currently I'm seeing this in the console shortly after bootup

Code:

VDSL_DAEMON-3-INITFAIL: VDSL Daemon Boot init retries done max times init failed.

sh controller vdsl 0/0/0 gives the following output:

Code:

Controller VDSL 0/0/0 is DOWN

Daemon Status:           Start

DSL modem is not yet initialized.

OS FW           embedded        VDSL_LINUX_DEV_01212008 (1)

Training Log :  Stopped

sh flash gives:

Code:

1     68923232 Mar 3 2014 20:02:30 +00:00 c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M5.bin
2         3064 Mar 3 2014 20:10:24 +00:00 cpconfig-19xx.cfg

I've since added a firmware for the card (though it's pretty old)

Code:

1     68923232 Mar 3 2014 20:02:30 +00:00 c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M5.bin
2         3064 Mar 3 2014 20:10:24 +00:00 cpconfig-19xx.cfg
3      2602194 Apr 6 2019 15:15:08 +00:00 vdsl.bin-A2pv6C033c_d23e

and then set it as follows:

Code:

controller VDSL 0/0/0
 operating mode auto
 firmware filename flash:/vdsl.bin-A2pv6C033c_d23e

Having done all that, sh controller vdsl 0/0/0 still shows exactly the same as above. I've acquired an image for IOS 15.7 (c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.157-3.M2.bin) and tried that along with a much later firmware for the card (va_a_39t_b_38r1_24o.bin) and it is still behaving as above.

This is my original working config with the separate OR modem.

Am I doing something wrong here or is it likely to be a duff card?

There's a UK flag that can be set on the controller which may or may not help you, 'modem ukfeature'.

Thanks for the suggestion, caged. Sadly I've tried that earlier this evening, having found reference to it elsewhere relating to the 887VA.

This is now the config that it's running from. I'm still getting the same output for sh controller vdsl 0/0/0 with no modem FW or modem phy

Is there anything in that flash:vdsllog.bin log file?

Also try shifting it to the second EHWIC slot.

There is no vdsllog.bin in flash even though it suggests it’s created the file. Swapping slots was next on the agenda for today.

Behaviour no different in card slot 1 vs slot 0.

Here is the bootup console info.

Isn't that saying your HWIC is at ATM0/1/0 and not VDSL 0/0/0?

Kei · 7 Apr 2019 at 20:12

The card's interfaces are ATM0/1/0 and ethernet0/1/0 but the card controller is VDSL 0/1/0. If the card is in slot 0 they are all 0/0/0, moving it to slot 1 changed them all to 0/1/0. I didn't modify the config before moving the card to the other slot, hence the invalid inputs.

Caged · 7 Apr 2019 at 20:21

In your config ATM0/0/0 is shutdown

Kei · 7 Apr 2019 at 20:27

The ATM interface needs to be shut down as it's not needed. Ethernet0/0/0 would be used via a sub interface ethernet0/0/0.101 and a dialer for PPPoE.

Config needs to be virtually the same as this

Caged · 7 Apr 2019 at 22:02

I'm out of ideas then really. I presume you get no lights on the WIC if you connect it to your line?

Can you do a loopback test on DSL or is that just on PRI circuits?

Kei · 8 Apr 2019 at 12:28

The symptoms and the lack of a modem FW, modem PHY and Vendor version suggest a hardware issue to me, so I've contacted the seller. Hopefully I'll be able to sort out a replacement.

mad_allan · 8 Apr 2019 at 18:22

Have you checked with @chrisd ? I think he had the same setup.

mad_allan · 8 Apr 2019 at 18:25

Also, just checking you have operating mode auto set on the VDSL controller?

Caged · 8 Apr 2019 at 19:45

If you were in London I could lend you one of those cards to play with, but I doubt I can just make it disappear from our office entirely

Deleted member 77746 · 9 Apr 2019 at 17:06

For BT Infinity if I remember correctly a VLAN tag is required on the VDSL interface. VLAN TAG of 101 for BT Infinity 2.

https://community.bt.com/t5/Home-setup-Wi-Fi-network/BT-infinity-with-a-Cisco-router/td-p/407209

EDIT: You already have this set so it isn't that;
interface Ethernet0/0/0.101
encapsulation dot1Q 101

Check through this config, match it;

Kei · 17 Apr 2019 at 07:46

The supplier seemed to agree with my conclusions and are sending a replacement card. Will see how things go when it arrives.

Caged · 17 Apr 2019 at 10:49

It's always annoying trying to diagnose a suspected hardware issue when you don't have spare parts, because you don't want to be one of "those guys" who RMAs things that they just don't know how to use.

Kei · 18 Apr 2019 at 10:30

Replacement arrived yesterday. Will be testing it out this evening. I've got my fingers crossed I've not been one of "those guys" and this one initialises and works perfectly.

Kei · 18 Apr 2019 at 23:16

I've fitted the replacement modem and re-applied my config and it worked first time, although I had some issues with a lot of websites timing out. I think that may have been caused by my not having "ip tcp adjust-mss 1452" on interface GigabitEthernet0/1. It used to be set at 1350. It all seems to be working perfectly since I put it back in.

Seeing this controller info was the best thing in the world.

I've got the feeling that some of the config has been lost over the last few months as ACL 2 doesn't look right to me. Anyone spot anything daft in the config, let me know. I realise I've never bothered to setup users on it as it's never really bothered me.
