Cisco 837 - Ethernet Router

Nicholas Beard

Hi All,

Should be a straighforward easy question here -

Can a Cisco 837 be utilised as a simple ethernet router and have its ATM/Dialer interfaces disabled.

I have a customer who is using an ADSL router, i need to use the firewall on the Cisco 837 therefore i was hoping to use the ethernet interfaces on the Cisco 837 as follows -

interface FastEthernet0/0

description outside

ip address 10.10.10.254 255.255.255.252

ip nat outside

duplex auto

speed auto

shutdown

!

interface FastEthernet0/1

inside

ip address 192.168.10.254 255.255.255.0

ip nat inside

duplex auto

speed auto

shutdown

!

interface Vlan1

no ip address

shutdown

!

ip nat inside source list 100 interface FastEthernet0/0 overload

ip classless

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.1

!

!

access-list 100 permit ip 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255 any

The Cisco 837 will NAT the internal clients to another internal address (192.168.10.0/24 to 10.10.10.0/24) then route to the ADSL router which will NAT the 10.10.10.0/24 network to a publicly routable address for the internet.  The ADSL router is currently port forwarding therefore i plan to utilise the Cisco 837 as a firewall.

Can the Cisco 837 be configured in this way?

Thanks
