Solved: how do you connect a cisco router to the internet through a cable modem/ router gateway - Page 10

breynold76 · ‎04-27-2013

I have searched on here but can't find the exact answer i am looking for. I have a cisco 1760 router and a 2950 switch. The router has an ethernet wic card added so i have two ethernet connections available. I would like to connect the cable modem gatway to the router through one of the ethernet connections on the router and then to the switch. I cannot seem to get this setup to work. There are several different ways i have seen posted to accomlish this. dhcp, no dhcp, creating a seperate network, and giving the e0/0 an ip address within the range of the cable gateways network addresses. None of this has worked. Can anybody post the commands that need to be entered on the router to make this possible?

breynold76 · ‎05-02-2013

The ios is installed and working. I am able to ping everything on the network including 8.8.8.8

I'm having the same issue with no connectivity....I'm using a 2901 connecting directly to my PC...

BUT I think it has something to do with my ISP more than anything....I have Brighthouse and I had to clone my MAC Address to get connectivity before on my OLD Linksys WRT54G

I was able to ping 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8

Even if I clone my MAC-Address from my laptop and reboot the modem it still does not get internet....

I feel like I am missing something simple...

It would be helpful if you would post the output of show ip interface brief. This will give us confirmation of the addresses being used and the status of the interfaces. And it will answer the first important question - is the interface to the Internet up and is the router learning an IP address?

I will point out a couple of things:

- your static default route is

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1

so where is the next hop of 192.168.0.1? The next hop for the default route should be the ISP device. Is 192.168.0.1 the address of the ISP device?

- you have configured NAT and that is something that many people miss. However your NAT is using the address of the inside interface.ip nat inside source list MY_LAN interface GigabitEthernet0/1 overload

that would certainly be a problem that would prevent access to the Internet.

- your outside interface has this access list applied MY_WAN. But the logic of the access list is puzzling. It permits response traffic for TCP sessions initiated from inside but then denies any TCP session initiated from outside. That would prevent things like someone in the Internet sending Email into your network.

Richard Burts · ‎06-03-2013

Thanks for the additional information. the good news is that the interface to the ISP is up and is learning an address. Which should mean that when you have addressed the issues in your config that you should be able to get Internet access.

This information confirms my suggestion that your default route is not correct. That is a big issue preventing your Internet access. It also confirms my suggestion that your address translation is not right.

I think that the access list is odd. But it should not prevent Internet access.

There is a problem in that the router does not present its MAC address in the appropriate manner. You can see the last three posts here on this: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2215481

I am not clear why you are not getting an IP address and perhaps that is the first problem to solve. Can you tell us the details about how your PC is connected to the router? Is it a direct connection PC to router or is it connected through a switch?

Can you post the output of show ip interface brief from the router?

Hello Joe - I've realised you have changed your interfaces around (LAN and WAN), please stick with one configuration so we do not confuse matters.

Also you didn't complete my request to change the configuration to exactly the way I requested for you to change it.

Another thing I'd like to mention is you are using the wrong MAC address for your interface. The MAC address you have specified is for a DELL device and not the Cisco interface.

And its the wrong command anyway so it's pretty useless.

As I stated previously please see my other post to which I gave a link to. You also stated that GE0/0 was connected to your cable modem. But your latest configuration suggests its connected to the LAN.

I stated this:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0

description WAN

ip address dhcp

ip dhcp client-id hex [YOUR INTERFACE MAC ADDRESS of your router in hex format i.e. no dots]

ip access-group MY_WAN in

ip nat outside

ip virtual-reassembly in

duplex auto

speed auto

You configured this:

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

description WAN

mac-address d4be.d985.1d75 - remove this

ip address dhcp

ip access-group MY_WAN in

ip nat outside

ip virtual-reassembly in

So I think you mean you got access to the internet now on your router and you have picked up an IP address.

Its your PC/Laptop that is not getting IP from DHCP..... right?

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

description LAN

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

ip access-group MY_LAN in <----------------Remove this please

ip nat inside

ip virtual-reassembly in

duplex auto

speed auto

ip dhcp pool MY_LAN

network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

default-router 192.168.1.1

dns-server 4.2.2.2 8.8.8.8 <------------------ Add this please

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.100 <--------------------- Add this please

================================================

So the actions are here:

Conf t

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

no ip access-group MY_LAN in

!

ip dhcp pool MY_LAN

dns-server 4.2.2.2 8.8.8.8

!

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.100

!

end

copy run start

Then try to get an ip address again. Perhaps take out the cable for the LAN and reconnect.

Hope this helps

Richard Burts · ‎06-06-2013

As I look at the config that was posted I realize why the PC was not getting an IP address from DHCP. The access list applied was permitting only traffic from source addresses in the network 192.168.1.0, which seems logical since that would be the address of hosts on that network segment. However the DHCP request would have source address of 0.0.0.0 and that would be denied by the ACL. So Bilal's suggestion to remove the ACL will allow DHCP. I might suggest modifying the ACL rather than removing it. If you add a permit host 0.0.0.0 it would enforce some security on the traffic arriving on the interface and would allow DHCP to work.
