I was attempting to say what sporkme said. My company acts as an upstream for several wisps. Because most of them are single homed and we have plenty of upstream bandwidth we peer with them, and allocate them as many justified IPs as they need. We then provide them with as much bandwidth as they want (can pay for) and they go on their merry way. Some of them have their own ASNs and PI blocks, and for those guys we peer with, and advertise their blocks upstream. Some of them don't have their own ASNs so we peer with a private ASN and then strip it when we announce upstream. Once again, didn't mean to imply that your business was short lived. That was my bad.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20731067 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 11:26:18 EDT Re: [HELP] Cisco Router configuring DS-3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20729260 sporkme :

They also now have their own AS number and IP space from Arin.. IN order to announce the routing info thru the provider (paetec) do we have to enable BGP as I have never worked with BGP if so how is it doen any pointers would help..
Talk to Paetec. If they're nice (and competent), they should be able to announce it on your behalf. If you're single-homed, there's no need to run BGP on your side just to announce one block to one provider.

If you have the space, might as well use it. If you decide Paetec sucks at some point in the future you can move without renumbering, which is a huge plus.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20729260 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:14:06 EDT Re: [HELP] Cisco Router configuring DS-3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20728582 viperm : They are not going to be short lived they have outlasted the competition and have been in business for over 8 years now... they are not going anywhere..

They have I think a /21 or /22 I would have to check..

THey already have a "large" connection 20 meg and they have outgrown it now they have upgraded to a DS-3 45 meg link They are not a Mom and pop operation..

If the business lasts a year or so then you can think about getting your own ASN and PI blocks however WISPs tend to be short lived, so why not play it safe?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20728528 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:43:10 EDT Re: [HELP] Cisco Router configuring DS-3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20728480 viperm : Its a straight DS-3 45 meg circuit we have a Cisco 3825 with a NM-1A-T3 card going in tonight.

They also now have their own AS number and IP space from Arin.. IN order to announce the routing info thru the provider (paetec) do we have to enable BGP as I have never worked with BGP if so how is it doen any pointers would help..

Is the DS3 channelized or not, that makes a big difference,
depending on the DS3 interface you're using.
And whether it's ATM or not. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20722726 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 19:37:40 EDT Re: [HELP] Cisco Router configuring DS-3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20719956 MrTwister : Aryoba came up with the question I was going to ask.

Is the DS3 channelized or not, that makes a big difference,
depending on the DS3 interface you're using. You didn't
specify which card/Router combo you are using.

Aryoba, can correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're using
a c37xx/38xx router or the like that uses a NM-1T3/E3,
I don't believe they come in a channelized version.

If it is a NM-1T3/E3, don't forget the magic command
in the router;


I forgot that command my first go around, and
was going nuts, why the router sorta saw the
card, but had no clue what to do with it.

Anyone ever set one up from scratch I have a Wisp friend of mine getting a DS-3 real soon and he wanted to know if I knew how to set it up?

Is it straight forward or is it complicated? I would assume the DS-3 card would be treated like any other interface? It being my WAN and the ether 0/0 being my lan port with public or private IP's on it.
Most of the time it is straight forward if you know what you are doing. :)

I was suggesting setting it up in what I would call bridge mode and run everything thru a beefed up Mikrotik unit.
Cisco router having DS-3 circuit running on bridge mode instead of routing mode? Why in the world would someone do that? That I think is abomination :D

said by viperm See Profile :

Will the ISP (phone company etc) provide us with the confgiuration info for the DS-3 interface and what not? I assume he is keeping his old IP scheme and putting the existing IP's on the new DS-3..
It depends on the ISP. Some ISP sends only the specification. Some other sends the "sample configuration" (i.e. Verizon calls it configlet).

In general the configuration would depend on several factors such as whether internal or external modem is used, what kind of DS-3 circuit will be (channelized or not), and what the Layer-2 encapsulation is (i.e. frame relay, HDLC, or PPP).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20711626 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:28:14 EDT [HELP] Cisco Router configuring DS-3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20710903 viperm : Anyone ever set one up from scratch I have a Wisp friend of mine getting a DS-3 real soon and he wanted to know if I knew how to set it up?
