Cisco VA887 router configuration for PPPoE

ADSL Cisco ISP Networking

This configuration should work with most UK ISPs – I use Unchained ISP and it works well with them.

See my other posts to use the VA887 as a modem instead of a router, and use Linux as a PPPoE provider.

Note that the config will require some adjustment to suit your own ISP and does require a static IP address.
