This configuration example comprises:
• A scenario describing the configuration
• A diagram showing the configuration of the SOHO router
• Tables containing the configuration settings for this example
• Several “list” commands outputs that are used to check the information entered for this particular
configuration.
• Information about the Names and Passwords that are used in this configuration example (required for PPP)

Scenario
In this configuration example of a hypothetical network, a small office/home office
(SOHO)
will access:
• The Internet through an Internet Service Provider
(ISP);
it uses PPP
as the Link Protocol with IP Routing
as the Network Protocol. Network Address Translation
(NAT) is enabled to the ISP, since the ISP
assigned the SOHO only one IP address.
• A central site (HQ) through a Network Service Provider (NSP provides access to the DSL/ATM Wide
Area Network); it uses PPP
as the Link Protocol with IP and IPX as its Network Protocols.
IP addresses are issued by the DHCP server. DHCP will be set up to issue DNS information to the SOHO
LAN.
