TCP segments dropped 1841 series

Community,

 

 I am having issues with a an 1841 router dropping tcp packet segments. The packet profile in question comes in segments of 1348 and 802. The second frame is not being sent out of the egress FastEthernet interface. The packet is then sent incomplete and causing inconsistencies. Clearing the df bit is not providing a solution. I have also ran a ping test and have found that the MTU internet link is 1500 this is connected via Fastethernet 0/0. Here is my run config:

My fear is that the main issue is IP reassembly which is missing from software feature set. Thanks Tito

Hello,

 

Could you please show the logs which the router is generating due to this issue.

Also please provide the software which this router is running on.

 

Natting router needs to reassemble the TCP fragments and then forward further.

Try configuring "ip virtual-reassesmbly" under the in and out interfaces of the Natting router..

Mohit,

 

Thanks for your reply I am currently using version Cisco IOS Software, 1841 Software (C1841-IPBASE-M), Version 12.4(9)T, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Which does not include ip virtual-reassembly. I have tried using an 2600 with enterprise 12.4 and I am seeing the same result with IP virtual-reassembly in both ingress and egress interfaces. Can you please provide instruction on how to  acquire the necessary logs? I have attached a trace for reference this was captured using a monitor session with a switch mirroring the lan vlan(192.168.2.0) and internet vlan
