871w router lan connectivity - set up

BeenyBoyz
Level 1
Level 1

I think I may have found the correct forum here. Been trying forever to make good use of the router I purchased from Cisco market during CCNA class.(871w) I wiped the initial config , thinking I was good enough to do it by commands. Slick , huh? Well never been able to get SDM to work. Main reason seems to be VLANs and fact you can't put address on fe 0 to fe 3 ports. To be brief , I can open a terminal for commands log on to router and set an address on fe 4 , the wan port, and ping both ways to and from the laptop. Wish to do two things if I can get help. Set up VLANs so I can connect my local net. And reinstall SDM , which doesn't connect because there is no correct IP address for it. When I try to follow cisco manual / instructions it always directs towards configuration for switches regarding the VLANs and that is a whole different animal indeed.

Please anything may help, appreciate it. Thanks Doug M.

Can you post the output of show run of your 871w and also tell me what subnet you want to use and on what interface you plugged your computer?

Okay , here is the output from the router as of now.

Note when I run "show vlans" it says no virtual vlans configured.

I want a wired connection to port(s) fe 0 to fe 3 but no vlans and no ip address can be set there, I have ip address for vlan 1 and ip address on fe 04 the wan port. Am connected to wan port (and console cable) to my laptop and can ping on the lan interface fe 4. Ips are not important to me as I can change it around anyway. Same for port numbers.

Just want to connect via fe 0 -3 to local server for now. Then I'll work on my internet connection and wireless network . Can't seem to get the sub-interface for fe 0 -3 going because no vlans to put a ip number on. Okay?

In case it is needed let you know I have no files in flash except the IOS 124-4.t7.bin .

Copied and then deleted them.

Hope the show run pasting wasn't too bad , and you can read it. If there is a better way to format , let me know I'll do again. Used copy / paste right to this window. Thanks for your answering back! Doug.

Check that you have "ip http server" in the config and have a username and password setup. Also you should be plugging a PC in to ports Fe0-3 (which will be in VLAN1 by default), then using the VLAN1 interface to access SDM.

I did try to reset SDM and set http server to secure but router is more misconfigured than that I believe. Those are the resets for SDM , but when I ran that configuration I still do not have any ip address on fe 0 through fe 3 . I did get an idea , what about if I used fe04 for the 10.10.10.1 address it looks for during set up? It may find the address and work like that?? Thanks- Doug.

There are a few things that are misconfigured on the show run you attached.

ip http server was missing but also the login local and the username privilege 15.

Make sure you follow the steps here:

The following example shows a configuration that contains the CLI commands Cisco SDM requires in order to operate.

hostname yourname

Okay. A bit confused on why to keep setting up SDM though if I can not enter the commands to get the lines that says

************************

" interface FastEthernet0

description ?????????????

description PC must be on the same subnet as the interface

no shut"

*******************************

All the other lines I can configure , secure http server , telnet , login passwords etc.

Cisco has instructions to "reset SDM" for connecting but doesn't include putting IP on the fe 0 . That's where I am lost. Thanks for the link thought , there is lots to look at there. Mean time I'll set up sdm way I had done it before and paste the output of show run again so you can see what I mean. Thanks.

Here is the config with reset SDM .

******************************

Notice I changed my Fe 4 ip to try to connect sdm that way. Doesn't seem to like it. SDM install tries to connect and then says error 404 in browser. Also do you see where i do not have an IP address on fe-0 like your config did? That's where sdm want to connect.

Does any of this make sense or should I give up on it!

FastEthernet 0, 1, 2 and 3 are switchports, i.e. layer 2 ports. As in all (?) Cisco switches, layer 2 switchport by default are in VLAN1, the default VLAN. This means that if you try to connect to the rotuer via FastEthernet 0-3 you'll have to do the matching IP configuration under interface VLAN1, which in your example is IP net 172.0.0.0/16 and IP address 172.0.1.10

So try set your PC IP address to something in the 172.0.0.0/16 and then connect to 172.0.1.10

Hi there!

Thanks for the info. It does seem to be that simple. Am trying it out , give me a bit if time and I'll let you know if it works. Thanks again for posting reply! I may not get right back to you for a day or so though.
