Cisco 1921 and DHCP WAN

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a bit of a struggle with configuring my brand new 1921 router. I think something goes wrong with setting the default gateway:

Config is like this:

A bit of history:

I outgrew my ZyWall (or had to admit that it was a piece of junk), so I purchased an ASA 5505 to replace it. Only to learn that an ASA only has one active connection at the time. So the next move was to get a router to put in front of the ASA to handle my two lines concurrently. I have a 90 Mbit fiber connection with a "DHCP Static IP" and 20/10Mbit with regular static IPs. The slow line is running on my ASA right now, so I have been trying to configure the fast line on the router and when I have that working, I will migrate the other line.

But I'm stuck at configuring the WAN connection. Can some one please give some advice on what I'm doing wrong?

Hi,

Currently the default-gateway is point towards the LAN side, I believe to are trying to get to the internet via the WAN link, if so please point the default static route via Gi0/1.

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 GigabitEthernet0/1 dhcp

Do rate helpful post.

Thanks,

Kasi.

That is NOT necessary. Interfaces with a DHCP aquired address automatically install a default route, if present in DHCP reply.

Hi Ilja,

What is the real problem, is it that you are not able to get an IP? Do you get an IP but you are unable to go out? You are missing some NAT commands (ip nat inside and ip nat outside), moreover as Paolo stated there is no need to have an static route since you should be getting it via DHCP, you can confirm this by using a "show dhcp lease". Sometimes when you have a cable connection, you would need to power off the external device for some time so ISP can clear the layer 2 information and detect your router's MAC address.

Regards.
