C1111-4P Router no ISP access on LAN

Beer Money

Good day… I’m a complete hack, aka novice, when it comes to complex networks like I have, but I do appreciate the ability to configure a great network and learn something in the process.  That being said, please be very specific in your response as this is way above my skill level.  

I recently upgraded my router from the RV340 to the C1111-4P as some of my new Sonos speakers weren’t connecting to the network due to the lack of proxy support on the 340.  Here’s the equipment that currently makes up my network.  

C1111-4P Router

Three SG350-10P Switches. One of the switches are connected directly to router in the network closet and the other two switches are connected to the first one off of the router.  

Two 240AC access points one is connected to the switch off the router, the other is at a distant switch. 

My issue is that I can’t access the ISP from the LAN network.  The router can access it from the WAN troubleshooting shooting tool on the routers WebUi.  I can access the router via console using PuTTY so if there’s anything I can do or provided via the console, please be very specific and I shouldn’t have an issue.  Thank you for all your help in advance, I greatly appreciate it!  I’m sure I’ll need more as I get this router dialed in!

Hello @Beer Money 

You should have NAT configuration so that so your internal network can communicate with the Internet using the router’s public IP... check NAT configuration please.

Check also ip route. You should have an IP route...certainly a default route... check it with #show ip route command.

 

Best regards

When I had NAT enabled on the WAN port, it wasn’t getting an IP address.  When I disabled it, I was able to get an IP address for the WAN port.  Is this the NAT you’re referring to, or is it on the LAN ports?

OK @Beer Money 

Thanks for that output.

Do #show ip int brief and share output too please

From one of the posts in this thread I see "Gateway of last resort is not set". That is the main reason you do not have access to the ISP. You need a default route be configured. And as others have suggested you need network address translation to be configured.

Regarding the default route, if my ISP's IP address is dynamic, how would I go about configuring it?  I receive the following error when I use the example from a search.  

Router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
%Invalid next hop address (it's this router)
Router(config)#

Ok, I might have it set.  But since I'm not connected to the modem (my family would wring my neck), it's not showing the current IP address.  

Router(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 dhcp
Router(config)#exit

Thanks for the additional information. If it is not connected to anything outside, it makes sense that it might not have a default route. The config statement specifying interface and dhcp is a very appropriate option and I think should work when it is connected to ISP.

With this issue out of the way, the next challenge would be whether you have address translation configured.

Thank you, I'm looking into that now.  It seems to be a bit more complicated, so I might post the code here before sending it to the router to ensure I'm configuring it correctly.

To expand a bit upon one point Rick noted, the default route usually would use an ISP device IP as the next hop, often in a shared subnet they provide for your WAN interface to also use.  Further, often these IPs can be obtained by using DHCP on the WAN interface, and setting the default route to also use a DHCP gateway address.  (All nicely dynamic; if your ISP changes their side, your WAN router will automatically adopt to it.)

EDIT addition:

interface g0/0/0 !wan interface

ip address DHCP

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 g0/0/0 dhcp !default route using g0/0/0 dhcp info

BTW, what port will the SG connect to?  It could be the second "WAN" port, or a "user" VLAN port.  Advantages and disadvantages using either.  I'm guessing you have, so far, chosen to use a VLAN port.

Where/what is the DHCP server?  It could be the C1111, if that's what the RV was doing.

BTW, see the solution marked reply in https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-management/cisco-c1111-8p-configure-internet-access/td-p/4998990

What's shown might work for you too.

One change I would like to make, is use the ISP DHCP provided DNS information.  Interestingly, the RV34x provides two options for the RV DHCP pool to use the ISP DNS info.

Unsure the C1111 offers anything similar.  The closest I found, if supported, might be the command DHCP pool "import all" subcommand, which, of course, requires a router interface using DHCP, itself.  Otherwise, you'll need to hardcode DNS servers.

BTW, what port will the SG connect to?  I'll connect the SG that's near the router to G 0/1/0 LAN 

Where/what is the DHCP server?  It could be the C1111, if that's what the RV was doing.  I want it to be the C1111 as the RV was previously.

Instead of:

ip dhcp pool WEBUIPool
network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.1.1
dns-server 8.8.8.8 4.2.2.2 import-all !requires WAN interface to be as shown in link, C1111 might not support, and I'm not positive this will bring in DNS IPs

Possibly:

ip dhcp pool WEBUIPool
network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.1.1
import-all
