DSL Technologies Supported The Paradyne’s Hotwire DSL network supports the following types of technologies: Hotwire IDSL (ISDN DSL) products provide IDSL multirate symmetrical packet transport and can operate over a connection with an ISDN repeater or digital facilities.
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 all point-to-point, requiring DSL devices at the central site and at the end-user site.

Accessing the DSL Router Access Control to the DSL Router The Hotwire DSL Router can be managed from the command line interface. There are two methods to access the command line interface: Local access at the DSL router through the Console port, or Access by a Telnet session (controlled through the management interface at the Hotwire chassis).
Accessing the DSL Router Changing Access Session Levels You can change the Administrator access level by entering: admin enable This command provides Administrator access level privileges. The DSL router will respond with a prompt to enter the password for Administrator access.
" Procedure For first-time access to the Hotwire DSL Router’s command line interface: 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.
To determine the local console access level, log in to the DSL router. The command line prompt following the login displays the access level. The default System identity is CUSTOMER>. And if you entered a System identity of Paradyne, the If the prompt format Then the DSL router prompt displays . . .

Configuring the DSL Router Overview of DSL Router Configuration The Hotwire DSL Routers support various customer premises distribution networks that contain IP forwarding devices or routers, in addition to locally attached hosts or subnets. The Hotwire DSL Router has an IP Routing Table that contains IP address and subnet mask information.
Configuring the DSL Router Ethernet Interface The Ethernet interface is a 10/100BaseT interface that automatically negotiates the rate. If all attached Ethernet devices support 100BaseT, the DSL router will default to 100BaseT. Otherwise, the DSL router operates at 10BaseT. The DSL router can be configured for either DIX format or IEEE 802.3 format. When the DSL router is configured to use IEEE 802.3 format, the DSL router uses SNAP encapsulation as specified in RFC 1042.
Configuring the DSL Router Numbered DSL 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 upstream next hop router for the DSL router is the core router.
Configuring the DSL Router IP Routing The DSL router uses destination-based routing for downstream traffic. An IP Routing Table is maintained to specify how to forward IP datagrams downstream. The DSL router is capable of supporting 32 entries in the IP Routing Table. This table can be viewed by both Operator and Administrator access levels.
Configuring the DSL Router Proxy ARP The DSL router supports Proxy ARP. Proxy ARP responses are based on the IP Routing table contents. The IP Routing table must have an entry for every host that is reachable on the Ethernet interface, including hosts for which the DSL router will not forward packets because of IP filters.
Configuring the DSL Router Basic NAT Basic NAT allows hosts in a private network to transparently access the external network by using a block of public addresses. Static mapping enables access to selective local hosts from the outside. Basic NAT is often used in a large organization with a large network setup for internal use and the need for occasional external access.
Configuring the DSL Router Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server The DSL router provides a DHCP Server feature as specified in RFC 2131, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and RFC 2132, DHCP Option and BOOTP Vendor Extensions. DHCP is the protocol used for automatic IP address assignment.
Configuring the DSL Router IP Filtering The DSL router can filter out IP packets. NOTE: All Hotwire DSL Router filters are configured on the Hotwire DSL Card. By default, filtering is disabled on the Hotwire DSL Card for the DSL router. If enabled, filtering provides security advantages on LANs by restricting traffic on the network and hosts based on the IP source and/or destination addresses.
DSL Router Configuration Examples Configuration Examples The Hotwire DSL Router configuration examples include only a few of the possible scenarios. This chapter covers some of the common configurations. The command syntax will vary based on your network setup. Configuration commands require the access level of Administrator-Config and changes need to be saved while in configuration mode to take effect.

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting PING The PING program is an IP-based application used to test reachability to a specific IP address by sending an ICMP echo request and waiting for a reply. From the Command Line Interface, PING can test connectivity upstream or downstream.
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting TraceRoute The TraceRoute program is an IP diagnostic tool that allows you to learn the path a packet takes from the service domain local host to its remote host. If you are unable to PING a device in a Hotwire network configuration, you may want to run TraceRoute to identify the link (destinations up to 64 hops) between the DSL router and the device that is not forwarding the PING message.
Command Line Interface Command Line Interface Feature The Hotwire DSL Router is managed with text commands from the Command Line Interface. The Command Line Interface can be accessed: Locally with an ASCII terminal connected to the Console port, or Remotely via a Telnet session. The Command Line Interface is ASCII character-based and provides the capability to: Display the syntax of commands.
