Programming the WAN port on UC520

crfittech · ‎10-31-2011

I am using CCA 2.2.6 and need to make sure that internet is passing through the WAN port of the router, so the servers, and desktops, behind it can gain internet access. The UC520 is acting as the DHCP server, and the 2008 Server is behind it. This is a small business, and want to make sure I program it correctly.

Hi Travis,

How is the modem setup? Is it on a different subnet and the WAN port is configured to work with it on that basis, or can you put the modem in Bridge mode and then get the UC-520 to authenticate and control the Internet access itself?

The UC can do this and do it quite well so you shouldnt have any problems, even with CCA 2.2.X (Which I think your mad for going to it, you should have stayed with 3.1.1).

If you hit any problems let us know, it might be something simple and can be quickly rectified via CLI.

Cheers,

David.

The modem is managed by the Telco, so do not have access to change settings. As far as I know, it uses a public IP that is assigned to the WAN port. I am currently using the NAT options to pass internet through the router to the rest of the network.

Hi Travis,

Can you please run a Command on the CLI for me?

ROUTER# sh run | s ip route

And display me the results.

Cheers,

David.

If the UC520 has a static or dynamic IP address issued by your ISP you will need to use NAT. If the ISP has a router that assigns your UC520 a private IP address, you would need to turn off NAT because it is not needed. Are you using CLI or CCA entirely because you would need to choose one or the other from the start to avoid issues.

David,

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 63.233.159.97

ip route 10.1.10.1 255.255.255.255 Integrated-Service-Engine0/0

Marcus,

I have a static range of IP addresses from the ISP, and I use the first for the WAN port, and then the others as part of the NAT.

I used CCA 3.1.1 before, and the screen was easier to use, and when I went back to 2.2.6, it is not as straightforward to program. That is why I went into the CLI to program exactly what I had before that worked from 3.1.1.
