Firstimer using Cisco Router

[Bryan Librojo]

Hi Guys,

I'm Khris, and im new in cisco routers, i never been using cisco routers before and now i have to work for it because i needed to.

i have cisco c887va-w-e-k9 router and its already reset to its default config. as in no configuration at all, im new in cisco thats why i read a couple of websites about cisco until i know some basic commands from youtube, and i dont know what is the certificate that i will see in the running config is important because it say that it was expired. what i want to be done is below

1. internet access

2. dhcp

3. wireless connection

i tried to configure the internet and dhcp, but i got a problem in dhcp, it does not release any ip on the network, to try the internet is working i put static ip address on lan and its working fine, my problem is the dhcp that is not providing any ip in the network. i reset again the router to make it clear.. is there anyone who can help me, i know my problem is not that difficult because what i really need to be done in my router is just a basic configuration. but like what i said, its my firs-time configuring a cisco router thats why im having a hard time on it...if there's anyone who have their spare time to help me is to much appreciated..sorry for my english...english is our second language. im looking forward for someone to help me with my problem..thanks cisco.

Thank you Bryan,

Try to configure this under the interface vlan 10

interface vlan 10
ip address pool NETWORK

[Bryan Librojo]

its still not working, unidentified network.. i have a question.. DHCP still works without the internet configuration right?? i tried to put static ip on lan and it read the network..so its ok even if the internet is not yet configure right..

[Julio E. Moisa]

Hi Bryan,

Yes the DHCP configuration is independent of Internet access. The config that we have used should works there is something else, I would like to discard the type of license, please share with me the current config and I will be still investigating. 

I have found this link, we could try: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11397451/cisco-880-887-and-dhcp-problems

Please remove the interface vlan 10

no interface vlan 10

then configure

interface vlan 1
no shut
ip address pool NETWORK

default Interface fa0
interface fa0
description TO-SWITCH/PC
no shutdown

And please try again. If it does not work, we are going to make a testing procedure.

Hi Bryan,

Good to know the DHCP is working fine. 

:-)

I have not configured Wireless on these routers just on access points but we can learn together. Im not sure if you have access to Graphic mode otherwise we proceed with CLI:

http://setuprouter.com/router/cisco/870-series/wifi.htm

check the chapter 9, basically we need 4 things:

- Create the SSID
- Enable authentication
- Associate the SSID to a VLAN
- Activate the antennas

http://setuprouter.com/router/cisco/870-series/manual-1004.pdf

:-)

[Bryan Librojo]

hi Sir, 

yeah its working now but there is still a problem, can we fix the time in my router before we proceed in setting up the wireless connection??

Because every time i restart the router the time are back into its previous time that makes the dhcp not providing the ip address on the network..

i already try setting it up manually but it still getting back every time i reload.

i also try the ntp configuration but it didn't solve the problem..do you have any idea to fix this one..thanks for your continues support. 

[Julio E. Moisa]

We can try the following:

Example:

router# clock set 10:10:05 June 8 2017

Conf t

clock timezone CST -6

service timestamps log datetime localtime msec year

exit

write  <and press enter>

reload

[Bryan Librojo]

it still not working once it was reloaded sir.

[Julio E. Moisa]

Ok, just a question the time is the only configuration reset or the entire config?

[Bryan Librojo]

the config is still attached in sh run... only the time was reset to previous time of the router.

[Julio E. Moisa]

I was reading similar situation on the forum, Some persons recommend configure NTP. This is weird behavior usually the config is saved. 

1 Question: Are you going to configure this router with NAT to get Internet?

Try to save the config executing:

copy running start

then

reload the device.

[Bryan Librojo]

Hi Sir Julio,

Sorry for late response, i was off yesterday. I also thinking that maybe i need to configure NAT to have the internet ON so the date itself will update via internet.. maybe  i should take a try.. i let you know once i'm done configuring the internet. thanks buddy.
