I am trying to set up a Cisco 2620XM router to connect to the internet. I have never had to deal with routers before and am at a loss. I am doing this as a test project before getting budget to do production.
I currently have fa0/0 and serial 0/0 as my two interfaces. I have a box that goes from coax to ethernet coming from the ISP. I want to run a cable from this box to my router then to a Cisco 2960 switch. Issue I am having is that there is just one ethernet port. I was told by someone that I can use the same port for in and out. Not sure if this is true or how to do it. Looks to be wrong but I can not find anything online about it. I am thinking that my options are to go from coax to serial or ethernet to serial and do it that way. Suggestions on what to do for a Cisco newbie?
Yes you can its something call "Hairpinning" or "NAT on a Stick"
Basically you have the routed interface running two networks (primary = LAN ip, secondary - WAN ip)
then apply NVI nat which calls on a access-list of the lan subnet to be translated
