Hi B,

Hi,

We were using Ge 0/1 with old ISP (10 Mb Ethernet over Fiber) which is now inactive.

Now we using Cablemodem on Fe 0/0/3 and the above ISP is allowing us to use his IPs through this cablemodem.

We are now getting a new Fiber Ethernet (20Mb).

I have put the running config of the above router (2901) below.

So here are my questions/confusions:

Which interface we can use for the upcoming 20Mb line. I think Ge 0/0 is available. Once the new line comes, Can I start working with usinge (Ge 0/0), without affecting any current/live access? Once tested fine, I can make the new 20Mb line as 'production'.

I will keep the existing config/interfaces unaffected which will help us quickly reverting the access back in case something goes wrong with the new line.

Also if some can provide more help for the new config will be great, since this is a little more complicated scenario than I am used to. Llearning a lot lately, but am concerned since this is production system.

Also wanted to give the input that we have 2 ASA 5510 in Active-Standby mode with NATs and ACL etc. and I was thinking that I can break the failover and use one of the 5510 with the new line.

Any help/suggestion is appreciated.

Hello,

See , Your scenario is to do cutover to new cable modem link from old link.

Assumming you are having the same provider and they have aggreed to route your pubic ips from new cable modem on new fiber link.

Get the stability test of the link and you need to same configuration on new port same.As you cant have same ip address on both the ports at same time.

Hope it Helps..

Hi Ganesh,

Thanks for your comments/input. Actually we currently, are using CableModem (Fe0/0/3-- Vlan13), as you will see from the config. The old ISP (10Mb line on Ge 0/1) line is inactive but he was nice to still let us use his IP via Cable Modem (Vlan 13 above).

Now we are getting a 20Mb line ( and a new 32 IPs) for which I need help with Configuration.

Can I configure Ge 0/0 with the new Line/new IPs. I just want to make sure that while I am working with the new line configuration, it does not affect the existing connections since that's all we have. Once the new line works fine, we shall remove the old routing from Cablemodem and use that just for phones and wi-fi etc.

I apologize if I didn't articulate properly before.

Thanks,

Ashok

Ganesh Hariharan · ‎11-13-2015

Hello Ashok,

Adding an ip address in new port will not give any issue unless you point your defaul route or routing configiration towards the new interface.

Hope it Helps..

bolds04 · ‎11-12-2015

Yes you should be able to build your config to GE0/0 with the new 20mb line. Just make sure to put it in a different VRF.

You currently have Vlan 13 in VRF cablemodem. Just build a new vrf - "VRF NEWLINE" with the proper IP addressing ect. and verify connectivity. Once verified, you can then reconfigure your default gateway to the new VRF.

Ping VRF NEWLINE 8.8.8.8

Ping VRF NEWLINE x.x.x.x - Carrier IP

Then change your default route on your vlan 13 to the new VRF. Hope this helps.

Hi B,

thanks for your post. It does help. Questions:

Please correct me if I am wrong, wouldn't changing the Def.route on Vlan 13, will stop using the cablemodem connection?

What should I do to make sure that the current cable modem/configuration is unaffected, so if anything goes wrong (till everything is tested well for a few days) I could quickly revert back the way we are.

I was hoping to I could find a configuration where I use this available physical int Ge 0/0 and configure with the new line/IPs and start testing by making this as the higher priority 'ip route' and if things go wrong then next route (i.e. cablemodem) becomes active.

Is it a fair question and if yes how can I do that.

Thanks,

Ashok

bolds04 · ‎11-13-2015

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.

You are not changing the vrf on the cablemodem Vlan 13 till you are finished testing the new line and are ready to migrate traffic over to it.

Suggestions - If I were you, what I would do, is create a new VRF and new vlan. Test connectivity and then change your vlan 13 over to the new vrf.

Once you've migrated to the new line THEN you can build IP SLA statements into your configs to flip traffic to another pipe should one go down.

Let me know if that clears things up. B

ctusa2003am · ‎11-16-2015

Hi B,

This VRF is kind of new to me and I defintely learnt a lot. Thanks to you and Ganesh both. Your last post cleared up things a little more.

Another question I have is after creating a new vrf and assinging to the phy int ge0/0 (with the new vlan), can I just keep the old one as well and put some policy so that if the new line (20Mb) is down the old 'cablemodem' line gets in operation?

Thanks,

Ashok
