Help Configure Cisco 1941 Router

[prompt2k2]

Help!!!

I just bought a cisco 1941 router, I understand it came with the Cisco CP, but I don't know how to get to that part where I can use it.

Also, how can I connect to the router directly without using the HyperTerminal console, all I want to be able to do is configure the ISP IP address and my IP address so I can use it for internet browsing.

Please help.

Hi,

yes you don't have any default route. Can you post sh ip int br | exc una and sh ip route connected

I know the Gig0/1 is administrative down because I am using the connection at this moment on the old router.

Hi,

if you don't connect your WAN interface iy's gonna be difficult to troubleshoot.

All I wanted is the 10.10.10.0/24 be a local IP on the Gig0/0 Interface, while the 41.75.205.190/24 be the WAN IP on the Gig0/1 interface, with this I might need to configure the gateway too

Hi,

if you configured your WAN interface to be addresses by DHCP then can you try this:

no ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 g0/1

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dhcp

then  ping 8.8.8.8 again from router.

if still failing post output from sh ip route static again as well as sh ip int br and sh run interface g0/1

Regards.

With the above shot, I guess the "gateway of Last resort" should be my router address (10.10.10.1) to the network which should be what exactly? I am absolutely lost here. please I need help.

Hi,

these output looks more correct this time, have you read my previous post?

Hi,

I did, the WAN is not DHCP, I definitely have the IP address given by my ISP and I have the gateway address too, any change to this, because right now, I cannot access the internet with the router.

Hi,

then delete the ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 G0/1

and replace by ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x  where x.x.x.x is the gateway provided by ISP

sh ip route static output shows:

....

Gateway of last resort is 41.75.205.189 to network 0.0.0.0

S*      0.0.0.0/0 via 41.75.205.189

                         is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1

#sh ip int br

Output shows that all the interface are Up as last one too and the IP addresss for the GigabitEthernet0/1 is 41.75.205.190

#sh run int g0/1

Hi,

S*      0.0.0.0/0 via 41.75.205.189

                         is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1

You didn't delete the default route pointing the exit interface, do this:

no ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Gig/0/1

Hi,

I deleted the 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 gig0/1 then performed the "sh ip route static again, then got the same message

S*      0.0.0.0/0 via 41.75.205.189

                         is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1

I'm feeling as if I'm actually distubing you, I'm really sorry, but I need to get this to work please

Hi,

unless behaviour has changed since IOS 15 that i'm not aware of, the output from your routingtable show that it is doing load sharing so it still considers the route to g0/1 as a valid path.

Can you do a sh run | s ip route to really get sure the route was deleted and also do a clear ip route *

then repost sh ip route output.

Regards.

Hi,

I really need to thank you for your effort thus far, you have been extremely helpful.

I manage to go through everything we have discussed here, and I added the RIP and EIGRP protocol, then did some NAT command too, and happy to tell you I can access the internet using the router now.

Thank you very much, I am doing some work on adding some firewall rules and blocking some URL like facebook, youtube.

Thank you.
