Setting up a Router & Switch for internet access

Hi all,
I need help setting up internet access on my cisco router.
It's a Cisco 2600, this is the setup.
I have a Cisco 3560 switch, and 5 clients connects to this switch.
I have one vlan defined VLAN 5.
I have a trunk port between the router and the switch.
My question is how to setup internet access between my switch and router?
Please if you can send config commands? I am not that fimiliar with router setup.
I know I need to setup a routing protocol, but need to know the command for that.

Hi,
You need to nat on the 2600 router and you need a default route on the router.
How is router connected to WAN ?
Have you got multiple vlans on the switch? Is the switch doing routing or is it Layer2 ?
Post your config so that we can give you the missing commands
Regards
Alain

Have a static IP for internet access - how do I replace my Linksys wireless router with Time Capsule?

Have 5 macs on an ethernet network - some wired and some wireless to a Linksys router. My provider uses static IP and DSL for internet access. I am replacing an existing Linksys router with the Time Capsule. The Static IP settings I have are IP address, Gateway, Mask, primary DNS and secondary DNS. The Airport Utility is not as straight forward as the Linksys setup. There is not a place to list gateway. Consequently I am unable to connect to the internet and am back on the Linksys router until I get this resolved. Any suggestions would be much appreciated !

You enter the static public IP address info on the TCP/IP tab within the Airport Utility. For a static address, use Configure IPv4 = Manually. You use the Router field for the Gateway address.

Vrf for Internet Access

Hello,
i'd like to configure a dedicated vrf for Internet access only. On my CE router i configured three vrf (Internet, red and blue) in the vrf internet i import the route target from blue and red, and the vrf blue and red i import only the default route. Everything is working fine, only one thing bothers me, i can ping from the vrf red destinations in the vrf blue and vice versa. How can i prevent this routing?
thanks in advanced.
Alex
here the config of my router.
ip prefix-list internet seq 5 permit 0.0.0.0/0
route-map internet permit 10
match ip address prefix-list internet
set extcommunity rt 100:200
ip vrf internet
rd 100:100
route-target both 100:100
route-target import 100:110
route-tarbet import 100:120
export map internet
ip vrf red
rd 100:110
route-target both 100:110
route-target import 100:200
ip vrf blue
rd 100:120
route-target both 100:120
route-target import 100:200

Hi Alex,
Given the FW is the next hop for the default route, the traffic from one vrf to the other goes through the FW and get routed back to the CE and then to the respective vrf router. You could add the rules on the FW to prevent
traffic being routed between FW.

Using 2nd Built-In Ethernet port for internet access?

Hello,
I have a Quad-G5 running 10.4.8. In its current configuration, all its network communications, including web access, go over the active ethernet port (Built-in 1).
Does anyone know how I could use the second built-in port for internet access only? I'd like to route local traffic over the first port, but go "out" over the second.
The machine is on a corporate network, and proxy access is slowwww. I have the ability to use a direct connect to the internet, but still need to be connected locally. Any thoughts? Many thanks . . . JD

Easy. Go to System Preferences > Network > Network Port Configurations and drag the port connected to the internet to the top, so that it has priority over the port connected to your LAN. This prevents DNS time-out when loading a website, but still allows LAN traffic over the other port because that traffic is most likely going to use ARP rather than DNS. For good measure, you can add your company's domain (such as "my_company.lan") to System Preferences > Network > Internal_Ethernet > TCP/IP > Search Domains.

Can I hook up a windows computer to my airport time capsule for internet access?

We have hooked up our time capsule for the first time today. It works wonderful on our apple products BUT can I connect a windows based computer to it for internet access?

Yes. Both Ethernet and 802.11 are cross-platform.

User Authentication for Internet access

Hi,
Is it possible to configure authentication for internal (LAN) users to Authenticate (local/RADIUS/LDAP) for any kind of internet access through the ISA550/570? (like cut-through authentication proxy in ASA.)
And Can the ISA550/570 act as a Web proxy?
Thanks in advance.

HI Sulu,
You can configure captive portal for internal LAN users to authenticate (local/Radius/LDAP) for internet
access through ISA500. (see attached screenshot)
ISA500 cannot act as a web proxy. what is your use case ?

I have to restart ipad each time for internet access. Why?

I have to restart ipad each time for internet access and some games. Never happened until about 2 weeks ago. ?

Firefox is a browser: it doesn't require you to 'sign in'.
It sounds to me like you have some kind of malware installed if you're required to 'sign in' every time you use it.
I'd recommend you use Internet Explorer (''assuming that doesn't require you to 'sign in' too'') to go to http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and download the free version. It will quarantine any malware it finds so restart Firefox afterwards to see whether the problem recurs or not.

How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPAD2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my children?

How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPad2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my daughters children?

Ghz is the CPU speed and that is fixed for each iPad model.
The GB is the number of Gigabytes of storage.
I had a 32G iPad1 and filled it up with 5000 songs, 20,000 photos and about 50 apps. It doesn't sound like you will need anything larger than that. If you are just talking about a few dozen apps and email, the 16G version should be adequate.

Can tata photon plus be used with apple i pad mini for internet access

can tata photon plus be used with apple i pad mini for internet access?

No, you will not be able to use a wired connection. If you have a iPad wifi, it can be used only with a wifi and if you have a iPad wifi+cellular, it can be used with both wifi and 2G/3G and 4G.

Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?

For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.

The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem?

Just ordered new iMac do I still need a modem/router for Internet access

Just converted to apple,ordered a new IMAC but little confused on Internet access.
does the extreme still need a modem/router,just a little confused after reading all the comments about poor connections etc.
Old windows soldier sorry if a little vague .

The AirPort Extreme is a router, but it is not a modem. You still need your existing cable or DSL modem. That device is usually supplied by your ISP and may or may not include the functions of a router.

WRTP54G router: I have internet access wirelessly but a wired desktop doesn't.

We have an excellent wireless network working in the house, but my desktop (which isn't wireless) can't get internet access. It says that a network cable is unplugged - it's not. When a cable is plugged into one of the 4 ethernet ports in the back of the router, the ethernet lights on the front don't light up or flash or anything. I think that part isn't working. Is there anything I can do? Should I update the firmware? Or just get a new router? I have tried using different cables, but nothing changes. The only way for the desktop to get online is to take the router out of the configuration, but then the wireless network and the Vonage phone are out.
I went to ipconfig at the command prompt and under Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: my Media State is Media disconnected. So, I'm guessing the ethernet ports on the router are not working at all.
Thanks for your help.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do continuos ping ping 192.168.1.1 -t and check how many replies or RTO you will have. If you have replies even just a bit connect your PC to the modem to get internet connection and download the latest firmware and upgrade utility for your Router.
FIRMWARE
1. Go to www.linksys.com/downloads
2. Enter the Model Number of your Router
3. Choose Get Downloads
4. Select the Device Version
5. Check Downloads and Drivers then download the Firmware
UPGRADE UTILITY
1. Go to www.linksys.com/downloads
2. Enter the Model Numner BEFSR41
3. Choose Get Downloads
4. Select Device Version - Version 4.0
5. Check Downloads and Drivers then download the Utility
After downloading those files.
Connect your PC back to the Router then run the TFTP(Utlity) set Server = 192.168.1.1; Password = admin; then choose the firmware file that you have downloaded. Then Upgrade the firmware of your router.
Note : Make sure the you have set the TCP/IP and DNS Server of you computer back to OBTAIN IP ADDRESS.
Note : To run the TFTP Utility set the TCP/IP and DNS Server of your computer back to USE THE FOLLOWING IP ADDREESS.
Just follow the previous posts to do this. Good Luck.

WRT54GL Wireless Router says "No Internet Access" or "Cannot find IP Server Address"

I tried setting up a home network with my above Linksys router and can't connect to the internet now. I have the ethernet cable from my DSL Modem hooked into the ethernet port on the back of the Router. In port one, I have a cable which attaches directly to my laptop as I was advised to use a cable for initial setup of my home wireless network. I was able to get into the router to set all the passphrases and wireless security settings, etc. My ISP is PPPoe and I have entered both the UserId and Password that my ISP provided. However, upon clicking on the wireless icon, my system states I am connected but the status screen shows "No internet access". I have no problem connecting to the Internet when the cable runs from my DSL modem into my computer, so it's something to do with the router blocking it now.
My ISP does not support my Linksys router, of course, and they tell me I need to contact the manufacturer telling me the router needs to be set up as a 'bridge" ??? There is no mention of anything like this in the manual and I do not know if there is a setting on the router that is somehow blocking my being able to get an internet connection. This is all still with cables attached. Again, I seem to be able to 'connect' to the wireless network but I now cannot get to the Internet thru the router...
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Thanks, I did try the step by step instructions and changing the internet type to DHCP but still unable to connect to the internet. Setting back to PPPoE type, the error message now continues to say it "cannot find the IP address of the PPPoE server." I have reset the router back to factory defaults and reset the security and setup settings to no avail. My ISP (Juno), after providing the connection type, login name and password, stated I need to contact the manufacturer of the router and ask that it needs to be set up as a "Bridge". ??? Does this sound familiar to anyone?
My modem is a DSL 2Wire. On it's homepage, there is a field called ATM Encapsulation that is set to "Bridged LLC" but I am not touching the settings of my modem for fear of messing up my internet connection altogether. It has to be some setting on the router, is all I can think of. On the Status page of my Linksys router where I try to connect to the internet, once PPPoE is selected, the blank IP address and Subnet Mask settings are zeroes and you cannot enter anything into those fields. (I was going to try entering the address of my modem just to test if that might work...)
This is very frustrating. Even tried the 30-30-30 solution I read elsewhere worked for someone. Nothing. Same error message. Once I hook the ethernet cable from my modem into my router, I no longer can access the internet because it keeps saying it cannot find the PPPoE IP address.

I created a wireless network with my Time Capsule but would like to connect this network to a WiFi Hotspot for Internet Access

I have created a Wirelss Network at home with the Time Capsule and would like to connect this network to the Internet.
I can't use LAN Cable to connect to it anything becasuse I usually use the WiFi that runs through my building.
Can I connect the Time Capsule to the WiFi hotspot somehow so that all computers on my network have Internet access and if so, what do I need?
I need this done because the computers can only be connected to either the WiFi network or to my Time Capsule Network at any given time.
Or is there a way to be connected to both networks simultaneously?
I have two PC's and two Macs.
Thank you for any support and I apologise for my ignorance. I am not too good with networking.
I have tried the silliest of things like connecting a router to the TC only to then realise that the TC had an inbuilt router.
I tried connecting a USB WiFI adapter to the USB Port on the TC but it doesnt detect it that way apparently.
Please help!

I have a kinda same problem @ https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3531642
Please reply (somebody)!

Router/Switcher for G4/XP netwoork

Pardon my ignorance but I need to connect my G4 iMac with an XP box in a room directly below. I previously had a small D-Link router that burned up but I could only share internet, no files desoite file sharing being turned on. Is there a recomendation? Should I get a router/switcher, just a switch or an ethernet hub?
Appreciate the advice. Thanks!

G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi Dennis:
A switch or hub will allow you to share files between each other on a LAN. A Router will allow you to connect your LAN to a WAN (Generally, an ISP such as cable or DSL).
If you are connecting your machines to the internet, I would recommend a Router. It offers NAT routing which is one of your best firewalls that can be used from the internet.
Any router can be used as a switch as well.
Bottom line, I'd recommend going for a wireless router, that way it will offer you the option of "Growing" into your new network device. They are generally inexpensive and can find one for around $60 or so. (The Linksys WRT54G works well)
