cisco 867vae bridge telstra bigpond config refuses to work

[Bigmalloy]

Hello

I have attempted to make a working config that used the 867vae as a bridge so my router can get served a dhcp internet address from a telstra adsl2+ connection. My connection used to require PPPoe login from my router to the bridged modem, but now it just requires dhcp, this is an upgrade apparently my credentials are automatically worked out by my phone number and no longer requiring PPPoe. I have tested this with other bridged modems and it works great just bridge modem as per usual and select dhcp instead of pppoe on the router to fire it up.

I have tried many cobbled together configs but nothing works, I notice most of the con figs I try for this router do not turn on the dsl modem and see no sync light hence the line wan mode dsl is added, many also contain the line control-plane which is an unrecognized command, any help would be much appreciated.

My closest guess at a working config

wan mode dsl

operating mode adsl2+
!
no ip route-cache

interface atm0
no shut
no ip address
no ip directed-broadcast

ok heres the working config I noticed when I was trying your suggestion that the command 

no ip route-cache

came up as an error and changed it to 

no ip routing

then it WORKED ! thanks for your help see below for a working config.

You plug your router into fastEthernet port0 and phone line in the correct port.

You should be able to uses PPPoe or in my case DHCP
