[c-nsp] c7206 ios for dsl aggregation

[Matthew Crocker]

Do you have access to the DLSAM?   Are you seeing the Ethernet  
broadcast packets coming in from the customers DSL line?  The PPPoE  
client on the customer DSL should be broadcasting, looking for the  
PPPoE server.  That packet should be forwarded to the 7206 by the  
DSLAM.  The 7206 will respond directly to the customer using the  
customers MAC address.  The PPP negotiation can start at that  
point.   Check your MAC address tables,  do you see the MAC address  
of the customers in the 7206?    I wonder if the problem is the DSLAM  
and rebooting the 7206 drops the ATM circuit long enough for the  
DSLAM to clear out its MAC address tables and get things working again.

Is it always the same group of customers that have the problem?
