Cisco 877W comms problem

athol
Level 1
Level 1

Hi I have been struggling with a configuration problem for some time, and I am sure that I missing something simple, but at the moment is it beyond me. The issue is this. I have been given a Cisco 877W ADSL wireless router to use at home. I have the ADSL stuff working and I have the wireless half working. The position of the router is that it is sitting between the internet and a linux firewall/webserver, a l2 managed switch (Intel 460) 24 port switch which has 2 vlans on it one the default and the other running dot1q back to F2 on the router. What I am attempting to do is have my sons friends connect via the wireless interface and have the data travel back through the vlan to the firewall where I am running smnp and traffic shapping. From the inside of the network I can ping everything this includes the wireless attached laptops. my problem is that using the laptop connected to the wireless interface I can ping it'self, the dhcp gateway and the IP of the dialer0 interface I am not able to ping anything else. dot1q is enabled and the vlan is linked back to the dotradio 0.2 sub interface. I am currently using trunking on the router although I have also tried to bridging the interface as well. I can ping directly from the router through to hte switch and I have also unplugged the cable upon which vlan2 travels. This action causes ping to fail so I beleive that the vlan is ok, howerver I have not had any success at all up to this point. Can anyone out there help me please ?

Thank you

Hello Athol,

can you make a drawing of your physical setup and post it ?

Hi Georg

I have attached a jpg of my home network infrastrucure

Cheers

Hello Athol,

thanks for the drawing, that clarifies what you are running into.

You say that the wireless laptop can ping the dialer 0 interface of the 877, can you tell if the address actually gets translated when you ping something on the Internet from the wireless laptop ?

I think in order for traffic from the wireless laptop to travel through the 877 to the switch and then the firewall and then back, you would need to establish some sort of policy routing. Traffic from the wirless laptop needs to be matched and the next hop needs to be the inside IP address of the firewall (172.16.100.4, as far as I can tell from your drawing). So on your 877, the route map should look like this:

route-map WIRELESS permit 10

match ip address 1

set ip next-hop 172.16.100.4

!

access-list 1 permit 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255

Apply the route map to the incoming (DOT1) interface of the 877, that is the interface where the wirless laptop is connected to, with the ´ip policy route-map WIRELESS´ command.

Assuming that your firewall has a route back to the 877, the traffic should now first go to the firewall, and then back to the 877...

Can you try and see if this works ?

Regards,

GP

Hi Georg

Thank you for the pointer, I have tried it to-day and I can now get out onto the internet from the wireless (DOT1) interface. The Vlan is not yet working as I cannot ping from the router at the moment. This is just "finger trouble" on my part I am sure. Your conf has worked a treat!!!

Thank you very much

Regards

Athol Reid

Hello Athol,

good to hear that you are making progress...

Where are you trying to ping to from the router ?

Keep in mind that, when you use the ´ping´ command on the router, the default source for the ping is the interface closest to the destination. You might want to try an extended ping, just type ´ping´ and hit , that will give you configurable options...

Regards,

GP

Hi Georg

I am trying from two different palaces. from a client through the wireless interface and from the router itself. If I do not Vlan the intel switch I can ping it from the router only, (bearing in mind that I was never able to ping from the wireless client). If on the other hand I vlan the switch with 802.1q encapsulation and also on the dotradio0.2 plus the vlan 2 interface on the router then I can not ping it. In writing this down it is begining to suggest a route issue ?

Kind Regards

Athol Reid

Hi Georg

I have been experimenting with the policy maps and routing, the situation that I am currently in is the same as before in that from the Windows XP Pro client ip 10.10.10.51 I can ping the gateway on 10.10.10.1 and I can also resolve web IP addresses but I can not ping 172.16.100.x devices. I have posted my conf in an attempt to be helpful and I would appreciate it if you could have a look and comment please.

Hello Athol,

from what I can tell from your configuration, you would need to apply the route map to your Dot11Radio0.2 and VLAN1 interfaces:

interface Dot11Radio0.2

encapsulation dot1Q 2

ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0

ip nat inside

ip virtual-reassembly

no snmp trap link-status

no cdp enable

--> ip policy route-map dotradio0.2

!

interface Vlan1

description $ETH-SW-LAUNCH$$INTF-INFO-HWIC 4ESW$$FW_OUTSIDE$

ip address 192.168.100.254 255.255.255.0

ip verify unicast reverse-path

ip nat inside

--> ip policy route-map dotradio0.2

ip virtual-reassembly

Can you try this and see if that makes a difference ?

Regards,

GP

Hi Georg

I have put the commands in but they have not had the desired effect yet. I did a sh vlans dot1q and the results are below

ADSLW-ROUTER#sh vlans dot1q

Total statistics for 802.1Q VLAN 1:

0 packets, 0 bytes input

0 packets, 0 bytes output

Total statistics for 802.1Q VLAN 2:

7865 packets, 853292 bytes input

11718 packets, 14695364 bytes output

Kind Regards

Athol Reid

Hello Athol,

I hope that I am not just adding to the confusion, but your VLAN 1 interface has an IP address of 192.168.100.254, and the inside interface of your firewall, which is in VLAN 1 as well, has an IP address of 172.16.100.4. If you have an IP address available form the 172.16.100.0/24 range, can you try and put it on the VLAN 1 interface of your router as a secondary address ?

interface Vlan1

ip address 192.168.100.254 255.255.255.0

ip verify unicast reverse-path

ip nat inside

Hi Georg

I have done as you suggested but it stopped all comms at the 192.168.100.254 interface. I added an access-list of 192.168.100.0 0.0.0.255 and tried again but to no avail. I removed the entries in the meantime so that I could respond.

Kind Regards

Athol Reid

Hello,

all right...I think I made a mistake in the first place by adding the 192.168.100.0/24 subnet to the route map. Can you take this out of access list 1, and also take the route map off interface VLAN 1 ? So your config would look like this:

Hi Georg

Thank you for that. I removed everything back to the last conf you uploaded. once this was done and I tried to ping the DNS server I was not able to get through from any network. I added another access-list to allow coms to the outside world and I have listed it below.

access-list 1 permit 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 2 remark SDM_ACL Category=2

access-list 2 remark From Vlan1 to outside

access-list 2 permit any

dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit

snmp-server community public RO

no cdp run

route-map dotradio0.2 permit 10

match ip address 1

set ip next-hop 172.16.100.4

I guess I am confused about the routing and also if Tagging is actually working, as I said before I pulled the cable that directly connects the router to the switch on port 6 and data flow stopped. Now I am just confused as to how that actually worked in the first place or was I mistaken and it never worked.???

Georg I appreciate your advice and any scraps you wish to throw my way are gratefully received and hopefully assimulated.

Kind Regards

Athol Reid

Hello Athol,

I will try to set this up in a lab and see if I can make it work. I'll let you know...

Due to the time difference (it is about 11PM over here, you might get this tomorrow).

GP
