Routers using Broadcom chipsets
Broadcom chipsets are widely used in ADSL routers, and most incorporate a very similar CLI command set, accessed through its telnet interface. It should be noted though that a number of ISP customised versions of these routers have the telnet interface disabled. This is an incomplete list of routers which have Broadcom chipsets and support telnet:
BCM 6338 chipset
- D-Link DSL-2540B
BCM 6348 chipset
- Netgear DG834GT, DG834v4, DG834Gv4, DGN2000
- D-Link DSL-2640B
BCM 6358 chipset
- Billion 7700(N), 7800(N)
- D-Link DSL-2740B
- Netgear DGN2200
CLI commands for Broadcom-based routers
All Broadcom-based ADSL routers have very similar CLI command sets. Listed below are a few of the more frequently used commands.
Note regarding Netgear routers
Netgear routers use a slightly modified version of the Broadcom CLI command set. The command which is used most often is 'adsl' with various parameters, but in Netgear routers this command is replaced by 'adslctl'. On this page we will use 'adsl', but Netgear users will need to substitute 'adslctl'.
help command
- help - gives a list of the available commands
- one of those commands with no parameters - gives a synopsis of the usage of that command
adsl command
- adsl info --show - displays a brief set of router stats
- adsl info --stats - displays a full set of router stats including error rates over various periods
- adsl info --SNR - displays the current SNR for each ADSL tone
- adsl info --Bits - displays the bitloading for each ADSL tone
- adsl configure --snr N - sets the target noise margin to a new value, and triggers a re-sync
The value of N determines how much the target noise margin changes from the default value set in the exchange. The following table gives approximate values:
Value of N | Approx change in target noise margin |
65450 | -12 dB |
65500 | -9 dB |
1 | -5.5 dB |
50 | -3 dB |
100 | 0 dB |
150 | +3 dB |
200 | +6 dB |
