Cisco 2901 and ARP

ckxen8401
Level 1
Level 1

Hello, I recently purchased a 2901, I used to run an 1811. I'm trying to figure out if the reason I can't seem to get the ARP configuration working correctly.

I register to my Charter Fiber WAN using a static address 24.XXX.XXX.XXX. I have a static pool (68.XXX.XXX.100 - 68.XXX.XXX.105) assigned by Charter, used for servers. On my 1811 anyone attempting to reach my static pool has no issues. If I were to browse http://www.whatsmyip.org on this router, depending on what server i'm on, I will see an address of 68.XXX.XXX.XXX. This is what I expect to happen.

However, on my 2901 this fails. Internally the 68.XXX.XXX.XXX network works perfectly, I can echo and load any servers, however on the WAN side this network doesn't exist, and any attempt to use a 68 address server fails. If I were to browse http://www.whatsmyip.org, no matter what server i'm on, I will see an address of 24.XXX.XXX.XXX. Is this just a difference in models? It would seem by default ARP is setup on the 2901.

The title of the post suggests that there might be issues about ARP. But I do not see anything in the text of the post that indicates any issue with ARP.

 

I do not know how your old router was configured or how it worked. But the cause of your current issue is pretty clear. You have configured the router to perform address translation for any 68.x.x.x traffic going out the Internet interface
ip nat inside source list InternetAccessList interface GigabitEthernet0/0 overload

ip access-list standard InternetAccessList
 permit 68.XXX.XXX.0 0.0.0.255

 

If you do not want the addresses to be translated on the way out then remove the ip nat statement.
