Cisco 3640 Configuration (newbie questions)

[cisco]

I have a 3640 router and i'm needing some basic configuration help with it;

since i'm new i'm really sure how to ask the questions i need answers for;

my problem is; i can't configure the router as a firewall and dhcp server. from the reading i've done online... this router should be able to do that just fine.

i'm needing some basic configurations on settings up dhcp and firewall config as well as getting the machines (on the switch) connecting to the 'net via 3640;

i want a setup kind of like...

NET/CABLE CONNECTION ---> [3640] | [FIREWALL - internal DHCP] -> [100base switch] ---> [50 machines]

I sure did pick a big router to tackle as my first. eh? ;]

First I would like to see a "show version" output of the router. Your IOS feature neccessarily need not support the features you are trying to configure. What version of IOS and feature set are you runnning on the box? When you say firewall configs, are you trying to configure access-lists ?? To enable DHCP

try

ip dhcp pool LAN

network 192.168.1.0/24

default-router <>

lease 3

dns <>

-------------------------

yeah i'm needing dhcp out of this router and as far as a firewall; i'm kind of looking for a hardware firewall; as in being able to block ip's &/or ports from reaching the internal network (everything behind the router).

i'm going to swap the NM-1E to a NM-2FE;

how is my routers current config anyhow? does it have enough ram and cpu power? i've heard these are powerful routers though i dont know where mine sits (fair - good -poor,etc).

I think the problem is that you are using IP only image on the 3640. Try upgrading to IP Plus and see if that helps!
