881-sec-k9 config problem

20110619Day
Level 1
Level 1

Hi there,

1st time user of Cisco Router. 881-SEC-K9.

Can get the router to connect to the internet. Classic setup - Router behind ADSL Modem - LAN.

Configure 881 thru CiscoConfigurator, straight forward

- PPoE encapsulated

- dynamic IP address

- DNS enabled "enable DNS based hostname to address translation"

- dynamic DNS methods (default): ccp_ddns1   parameter DDNS (? correct)

When testing the connection. I get the following error msg: "configure the command "ip domain-lookup" in the config mode on the router"

No difference if "no ip domain-lookup" is selected, or "ip domain-lookup".

If I set DNS = to known IP address extern -> DNS lookup successful, but no IP address assigned dynamically.

Hi Stefan,

in your currently used router it seems you got the DNS and Gateway from tour ISP but here you only received an address but no DNS.if this is the same ISP then of course you can use these DNS servers instead of Google one.

just put them in your DHCP pool:

ip dhcp pool ccp-pool1

   import all

   network 192.168.21.0 255.255.255.0

   default-router 192.168.21.1

   dns-server 217.237.151.115 217.237.148.102

So your Pcs will get their DNS servers from DHCP.

as you don't need DNS-cache anymore on your router and you don't need to ping by name from router then you can do this:

config# no ip name-server 8.8.8.8

config# no ip dns server

PPPoE is what you're using, username/password  what are you talking about? and DHCP is solved.

Regards.

Alain.

Hi Stefan,

Can you try to change the dialer interface to use "ip address negotiated" instead of dhcp?

The IP address should be assigned in the IPCP phase of PPP, not via DHCP.

Regarding the "ip domain-lookup" command, this has effect only locally, on the router.

For example, if from the router CLI you type "ping google.com", IOS will try to resolve the name using the configured DNS server.

This will not have any effect on the end users connected via LAN.

Hope this helps

Hello agn Marco and whoever reads this,

I did as you said manually: No change in behaviour.

Still don't get connection.

The resulting error message reads:

"checking for DNS settings failed"

and Cisco's help screen recommends: "configure the command 'ip-domain lookup' in teh routers config menu - but I've been there before....

So I tried something else: I enabled the DNS server IP address and added the "outside" IP address of my ISP at my location... something like 91.2.xxx.xx

Upon testing the connection now, the protocol/error msg reads as follows:

"checking for DNS settings...... successful"

"checking inteterface IP address .... successful"

"checking exit interface ...... failed"

So apparently, with the ISP's IP adress the DNS is resolved.

But this method seems to be not right, anyway.

I'm still lost. Tried anything that makes sense to me.

Anyone here to help?

Thank you and best regards,

Stefan

Hello Marco,

I tried "IP address negotiated".

Problem: Compared to using "dynamic IP" in mode "negotiated" it is NOT possible to input UserName and Password. These 2 input fields simply disappear when chosing "negotiated".

Only in "dynamic" mode it is possible to input UserName and Password.

Makes sense? I don't know.

Best regards and thank you!

Stefan

27-Sep

I don't understand your reply, sorry...

"dynamic IP" is not an available option for the dialer interface.

I suggest you connect directly to the router via console, instead of using web tools, and verify what it is happening.

PPPoE is completely independent from DNS, and the router itself does not need to know any DNS server.

Configure the dialer with ip add negotiated, then enable deb ppp nego.

Shut/no shut the dialer interface and collect the debug logs. You should be able to see there if the interface is coming up with an IP address, or not.

Once the dialer interface is up/up with an IP, you can start looking at DNS configuration.

Regards

Hi Marco,

pls excuse my igorance - I'm not familiar with the console commands.

I succeeded to connect to Router via console...

I see the "Cisco880Router#"

I input "interface Ethernet1"

no ipaddress

exit

what is "deb ppp nego"?

Pls type the command lines, so I understand.

Sorry abt this, pls hang in with me.

Thank you and rgs,

Stefan

Hi,

once you get this prompt hostname# then enter config t then int f0/4

once in interface config type shut then type do debug ppp negotiation and do debug ppp authentication and then no shut .

So you'll be bringing the interface down then enable debugging for PPP and then bring the interface back up and the debug output will tell you what is happening, just paste the output here.

Regards.

Hi Alain and/or Marco,

pls don't "shoot" commands to me. I said I am NOT familiar with the terminal commands. It's difficult for me to understand what is "text" and what is "command" in your response.

Here is what I understood and have done:

Cisco880Router#config t

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Cisco880Router(config)#int f0/4

                                               ^                                                         

                                                                                                             not work, the "/" is not accepted>

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Cisco880Router(config)#inter fastethernet4

Cisco880Router(config-if)#shut

Cisco880Router(config-if)#do debug ppp negotiation

PPP protocol negotiation debugging is on

Cisco880Router(config-if)#do debug ppp authentication

PPP authentication debugging is on

Cisco880Router(config-if)#no shut

Nothing happens.

Pls use the command structure and tell me exactly what and where I have to type in commands.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best rgs,

Stefan

Hi,

the command you enterd were ok. Now how are you connected to the router? via a console cable or via an ethernet cable and you telneted into the router?

do following:

config# logging console debug

config# logging monitor debug

config# exit

# terminal monitor

You  can now shut/no shut the interface and you should see debug outputs on your screen.

Paste the output and copy here.

Regards.

Alain.

Hello again,

I connect to the Router for convenience reasons by Ethernet with CCP, then join the COmmunity and do Discover, and then I switch to the Telnet  - Launch Telnet Window and continue in the Telenet window.

and it provides the default username "cisco" for  one-time use. If you have

already used the username "cisco" to login to the router and your IOS image

supports the "one-time" user option, then this username has already expired.

You will not be able to login to the router with this username after you exit

It is strongly suggested that you create a new username with a privilege level

username privilege 15 secret 0

Replace and with the username and password you

Hi,

Can you ping 87.186.225.25 from the router?

You've got no dns from the provider and it seems the above address is your gateway.

try to ping 8.8.8.8 and if it fails then do this: config# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer0 then try again.

To ping: # ping 87.186.225.25

Regards.

Alain.

So it works only with 8.8.8.8. (what is this?) and only after I implement the additional command.

I get it now!

I can ping Google's public DNS server @ 8.8.8.8 but not my providers IP.

That's strange - eh???

Good luck!
