Configure T1 and passthrough IP?

[jmhunter]

Greetings,

I have a T1 handed off to me from my local ISP.  I have a Cisco 2620XM w/ 12.3(1a) installed.  Normally, at my other locations, I would have the T1 hit an ISP provided device and hand off to me as an Ethernet, but this was legacy before my time when it was ordered.

In short, I want to pass through this circuit to the firewall we use (Watchguard) via ethernet.  I've configured the router, and the T1 is up.  Not exactly sure what to do on the ethernet side, I did configure a network (took a private block, 192.168.0.x) but is this the best (or only) way to do this?  Here is my config:

Ask you ISP what is your LAN address assigned and configure it on LAN interface. No NAT is needed.

Note: you will need to re-enable 'ip cache'

[jmhunter]

Thanks a lot!

I did have the LAN addresses (with 255.255.255.248 mask), I have configured the ethernet side with that.  I will configure the other end to an address within that above mentioned range.  You mentioned turning on IP route cache.  I did that for the FastEthernet but do I need to enable it for the Serial side?

also, I have IP routing turned off, just using a default gateway.  Should that be sufficient?

Thanks again,

James

No, being this a router, you need to have ip routing - the default. Then configure a default route.

And have (the default) of ip route-cache enabled everywhere.

[jmhunter]

Ok, so I enabled:

removed default-gateway

IP routing

IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 11.22.33.44 (the distant endpoint of the T1).

Not pingable, but may not be a configuration issue.  Need to open ticket with Carrier.  Will update tomorrow.

THanks for all the help!

Check "show interface se0/0" to begin with.

Thank you for the nice rating and good luck!

The show Interface command gives me the following:

The circuit is indeed up, pingable from a remote location, so I know the circuit is good.  Still waiting on carrier information.
