Setup a switch with my router.

I have a Linksys router in which I recently bought. The model is WRT54G. I also have a switch as well. I am setting up the switch (which is a surecom) with the router. This switch does not have an uplink port, so I use a regular Cat5 cable.
So I plug port 1 on my router, to port 1 on my switch (with a regular cable). Neither of the lights for Port 1 are lighting up. They blink on and off. I then plug my computer into port 2 of the switch and it is lit. I switch around the ports, and still the same result.
Is there a certain way im supposed to set this up? Like on my router page (192.168.1.1)? Or am I supposed to setup my switch somehow?
Thanks,
Peter

The internet connection works fine. THe router is brand new, and works perfect.
Just I have multiple computers in my basement so I ran a cable down there with a switch. I was just wondering if I have to set anything up? I know that there MIGHT be an issue with the cable running down because I crimped it myself, and who knows how good that is, but I was just curious if I have to set anything up.

VLAN with 1700 router and Linksys switch

I am trying to use a 1700 router to route between to IP subnets on two different VLANs setup on a Linksys switch. I do not have access to the switch so I am working with another tech that handles the switch. I setup two subinterfaces on the FE port of the router. Int Fa0.1 uses IP 1.1.1.1 and VLAN 1 native using 802.1q. Int Fa0.2 uses IP 2.2.2.2 and VLAN 2. I asked the switch tech to setup his switch accordingly. My problem right now is that the router will only ping IPs on the native VLAN. Meaning if I make Fa0.1 VLAN 1 native I can ping devices on 1.1.1.0/24 and if I make Fa0.2 VLAN 2 native then I can ping on 2.2.2.0/24. When I passed this along to the tech he explains something about setting up his ports for tagged or untagged but I don't know who this would apply to the router but he doesn't have a solution either. Is there anythin I can do on the router side to fix this?
Thanks,
Diego

hi,
I've tried connecting cisco to non cisco devices.Tagged ports simply means allowing different vlan to pass to that port and Untagged is passing only the native vlan.For your case since you want that two VLAN will communicate,port should be tagged.Tagged is simply trunking in terms to cisco.So that the 802.1q frames will pass that port.

Using Catalyst 3550 Switch with Linksys Home Router and Cable Internet

I've about pulled what little hair I have out of my head on this one, and need some configuration help.
I have a Cisco Catalyst 3550 switch with five Windows 7 desktops, an Avaya PBX and five Avaya IP phones attached. All of these devices are on a 192.168.0.0/24 subnet, and are communicating properly. I will refer to this as network # 1. I also have SEPARATE network, we'll call network # 2, using AT&T ADSL service and a Netgear 4-port/wireless router/ADSL modem combo device, which is functioning properly with a couple of other Windows 7 desktops over its own wired Ethernet network, using DHCP, and also on a 192.168.0.0/24 subnet. I thought it would be a simple integration, just plugging one of the 3550's ports to one of the DSL router's ports, in order to give the five Windows 7 desktop computers on network # 1 internet access via the DSL modem. Guess I was wrong. When I connect the two switches together, although I get a good connectivity (green lights on both ports) and am able to ping the DSL router's gateway address (192.168.0.252) from network # 1's computers, the computers on network # 1 cannot access the internet. Also, the working computers on network # 2 lose their internet access as long as the two switches are connected together. I am not a Cisco guru, but there's got to be a way to make this scenario work. Can someone provide me with a 3550 configuration that will allow me to extend my internet service from network # 2 on the DSL router to my 3550 switch and their computers? Here's what I am looking for:
INTERNET ---> ADSL MODEM ---> NETGEAR ROUTER ---> CISCO 3550 SWITCH ---> NETWORK DEVICES WITH INTERNET ACCESS

The Netgear router is probably what's doing the natting. Is the 3550 configured for routing or is it straight L2? If you have the 3550 configured as L3, then it's going to be easy to do what you want. Just add a static route on the Netgear to point the subnet that it doesn't know about to the 3550. For example, if the Netgear is addressed at 192.168.1.1 and the Cisco 3550 is addressed at 192.168.1.2, but it also knows about the 192.168.0.0/24 (separate vlan), then you would put a static route on your Netgear for 192.168.0.0/24 to go to 192.168.1.2.
The way that I would do it is to create a separate vlan on the 3550 and assign an address to it. Once you do that, make the port that the other switch connects to an access port of that vlan. (It would need to be on the same subnet as the existing equipment.) All of your devices would use it as a default gateway and then you would do the rest as above. You could also use RIP between the Netgear and Cisco if you can't do static routing.

Cisco 2960S FPS-L PoE switch with Avaya 9811g VOIP setup

Hello,
I am connecting a setup for data/voice connecting Catalyst 2960S-FPS-L PoE switch with Avaya 9811g series VOIP phone. As per my knowledge cisco switch works well with Cisco phone as it has got some builtin "Macros" and Intelligent PoE recognition when we connect device getting the details of another device through CDP. I understand I have to create data and voice vlan with QOS then enable trunking on the interface to other switch that is also 2960. Little confuse if is there any compatibility issues with Switch and Avaya phone regarding protocol/data/voice...?
Do I have to do PoE config for each port on the each interface?
any help or detail config will help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi I am back after good research. created two vlan data and voice with trunk on interface1/0/48 given below config..
connection b/w 2960s FPS Switch and Avaya 9611g IP Phone.
lldp/cdp is enable on switch
So I created this config if some one can take a look .
expert advise if something wrong?..
I am only concern with Voice and PoE as voice is my priority. do i have to map something for voice quality?
also if i create another Trunk port one allow voice other allow data both cable will go to switch will that be issue?

Dlink dpr 1260 setup with Adtiontech router

Has anyone setup subject print wervier with the router successfully? The DHCP address for setup iand connection are not a problem. The net based software allows you to make setup on the unit and shows connection to the network when connnected to the router, however when the unit is disconneted from the router it is not accessible form laptop "My Network Places" in Win XP Pro as per the manufacturer insturctions. UPnP has been enabled so theroetically any device with those settings should work, however, this one doesnt. I got rom Ebay so it proabely was defective as I believe some models had defective ROM chip or was passord protected. I tried static IP addresses set to unit same as connected IP, gatteway settings and DNS server so the default of 192.168.xxx was changed to 192.168.7 which the router had at the ethernet connected wjhich would be the same wirelessly assigned by DHCP? In any event, this one can't be set up but I was just currious if anyone had been successfyl with this unit.

Help with connecting MacBook Pro with Cisco Routing and Switches?

I'm running a CiscoASA 5510 router with several Cisco WS-C2960-48TT-L switches on a local network to connect with MacBook Pro. I need to be able to restrict access to specific users via their computer MAC address. ie: Joe Blow is limited to connecting through Switch 1 on port 10 and anywhere else he tries to plug in will simply not work.

You need to look at the documentation that came with your router and switches. Or ask your network admin to set it up. Your question has nothing to do with your Macbook Pro configuration. MAC filtering is done in the router not in the computers/devices connecting to the router.

Problems with my Router/Switch (BEFSR41)

We have a wired LAN sytem in our 14 room hotel. It seems that every day, the router goes down. If I unplug everything from the back of the Router, and pause for a few minutes, then plug it all back in again..... we are back in business.
Clearly, this is a goofy system. What am I doing wrong?
We have our Internet provided by Satelitite dish (we are out in the country) and I have the router feeding two switches with six ports each. We have two computers in our office, for a grand total of 14 outlets. Most of the time we only have one or two guests using computers in their rooms.
We need help! (or at least our Router does)

If you are talking about the Linksys BEFSR41 then I would recommend you try to update the firmware on the device.
Here is the link:

I try to switch on my WiFi connection at home with ADSL router. Always I get the answer - Wrong password. The pasword used is correct. It works with another hardware.

I try to connect my iPhone with internet through WiFi with ADSL router. My network is visible. When I try to connect it, I write the password and I get always one answer - WRONG PASSWORD. The same password works perfectly with other two computers and other smartphone.

Did you already try to reset your network settings on the phone in Settings/General/Reset/Network settings ?

Home setup - network switch and 2 Time Capsules

I have an ADSL modem/router (Billion BIPAC 5200G). I have used it previously with wireless turned off. I then used a time capsule in bridge mode so that NAT etc is turned off, and then use it to broadcast wifi and as a backup. It is attached to the modern with ethernet. It worked fine.
I am now in a house with a lot of ethernet ports, linked to a massive hub thing. But it needs a switch to link it all together.
So I am thinking of this setup:
PHONE LINE
to
BILLION ROUTER (Set as a router with wifi turned off)
to
NETWORK SWITCH
to
VARIOUS ethernet enabled devices in different rooms (i.e. printers, Apple TV, TV, Time capsule)
Then I want to use my 2nd time capsule to extend my ground floor network by plugging it in essentially directly into the time capsule via ethernet in roaming mode.
Is this the optimal setup for this? My other idea was to forgo the network switch and do it this way:
PHONE LINE
to
BILLION ROUTER (Set as a router with wifi turned off)
to
VARIOUS ethernet enabled devices INCLUDING the TIME CAPSULE and PRINTER.
then:
To the TIME CAPSULE:
to
VARIOUS ethernet enabled devices INCLUDING Imac, Apple TV and another TIME CAPSULE in roaming mode.
My main questions are: which setup will give me better speeds to all devices. Ie: is the switch even necessary? In my 2nd example, will the first time capsule and printer be available to the Imac.
There seems to be no real advantage to having the TIME CAPSULE in router mode while keeping the BILLION ROUTER as a pass through with NAT off (To avoid Double NAT) except for the guest network capabilities.
If its just simpler to have the network switch, then perhaps that's the way to go. If so: any suggestions on network switches that work well?

It doesn't allow me to select ethernet as an option for internet connection, only dchp, ppoe and one more which isn't ethernet.
DHCP is correct setting. .it will use ethernet but the new AC TC has problems.. it needs a crossover cable with some switches. Or you need to return it and get it replaced as there is something wrong with its wan port.. the new AC model needs a hardware revision and about 3 or 4 firmware upgrades before it hits the status of the Gen4 it replaced.
My questions are: should I connect my time capsules together directly with ethernet using another available port in my new time capsule. I thought my switch would work better. Also, does one time capsule have to be in router mode instead of having both of them in bridge.
Both should be in bridge.. but you can rearrange things to see if any of the other devices works better.
You can use the billion or the old TC.. plug the new TC into those.
Bob is correct though.. the switch is the correct thing for everything to be plugged into .. but in home situation what works is more important than what is best. It if fails in all of them then the WAN port is proven faulty.
Should I be able to use the hdd on the 2nd (older) time machine as essentially a networked hdd for putting movies and music on, and use my new time capsule as the sole backup (occurring both over ethernet for my iMac and wifi for our laptops)
Yes, that is ok.. you just need to get the AC version TC actually working properly.
Give us a few screenshots of things.. that really helps to see.

TC in Bridge Mode with ISP router vs TC as Ethernet with VDSL modem

Hi, I have a time capsule. It's the newest generation of the old shape/design - i.e second to newest version. It's running 7.6.4. firmware.
I recently updgraded my ISP to Fibre VDSL and the ISP sent me a crappy router with a built-in modem that you have to use. I checked the ISP support forums and found plenty of advice to configure the TC over ethernet with this router using the DMZ of the router etc. Anyway, I got it all working but i wasn't happy. port forwarding was a pain and you end up with double NAT issue - not surprising.
The alternative config was to switch the TC to 'bridge mode' so the crappy ISP router does the NAT / DHCP, port forwarding, dpnp, internet routing. I got this all working and i have made sure that all of my network nodes/clients (wired and wifi) are all off the TC and only use the ISP router for internet, dhcp etc. This is all working with good speeds, solid internet access but...
Major issues with airplay (use this a lot) and also with stuff like facetime etc. The connection is much faster (40mbps down/10mbps up) than my old ASDL setup but as I said, key services that I use are not as stable.
I think my only alternative solution is to buy a VDSL modem seperately and use the TC as the router i.e. go back to my old config with TC doing all the routing, port forwarding etc.
Does anyone here have a view as to whether this is worth trying? I'm hoping that it if the TC is doing all the routing, I will get less drop outs and services will work as they should. On the other hand, I hoped airplay would be OK as it's a wifi/Lan service rather than WAN but I have had quite a few issues.
Appreciate any help with this and sorry for the lengthy note!
Jata.

In theory, you will do better by using a simple bridge mode modem and then setting up the Time Capsule as the router to provide DHCP and NAT services.
But, as you might imagine, it is not possible to predict whether your results will actually be better using this type of setup.
Worth a try, in my opinion, if you can find a store that will let you return the modem for credit if it does not do what you want.
Even a simple modem will still likely have to be configured to operate in bridge mode, but the setup should only take a few minutes using the web based configuration interface.
Let us know how things are working if you can, if you decide to the try the simple modem approach.

Problems with WRT610N router

I purchased a WRT610N router yesterday, to replace my aging WRT54G, that I've been using until now to support a laptop, desktop, Xbox360 and PS3.
From opening the box, I've had problems. The LELA software wouldn't recognize my network card....an nVidia nForce network adapter. It kept giving me an error 312. I called Linksys support yesterday, and spend four hours repeately rebooting and power cycling my router, unplugging it, etc. None of this helped...despite logging directly into the router, we were unable to get it to connect to my ISP. It persistently failed to form a PPPoE connection.
Finally, the support rep advised returning it to the store, and getting a new one. I did that, and tonight, the new one did the same thing. I googled, and found articles indicating that LELA has had compatibility issues with the nVidia networking card. I advised the support agents of what I'd found, but they insisted that the router has no problem with the nVidia card.
I decided to experiment, and installed an AOPEN AON-325 ethernet card, and LELA now picks up the card fine. I then attempted to connect, but had no luck. I've spent the better part of tonight talking to support, talking to my ISP, and trying numerous things....cloning my MAC address, switching my Alcatel Speed Touch modem to a bridge, power cycling, but nothing works.
Are there compatibility issues between the 610N router and either my networking card, or my modem? Has anyone run into these problems?
I know my internet connection is working, because as soon as I unplug the cables from the 610, and hook them back up to my 54G, everything works perfectly.
At this point my ISP is going to send me a new modem, as my Speed Touch is almost 9 years old. If this doesn't fix the problem, then I don't know what the issue is.
I googled alcatel speed touch modem and WRT610, and even found some message boards with dutch users who have the same combo, and are having no success in connecting with the WRT610N.
Has anyone had similar problems?
Thanks
PLeROA

I`m at the same page of PLEFROAD...
I bought my new WRT610N router (appears on box: N ULTRAPLUS SIMULTANEOUS DUAL-N BAND... WIRELESS ROUTER... ENTERTAINMENT ROUTER FOR FASTER GAMING, MUSIC AND HD VIDEOS... AND A LOT OF BLAH, BLAH AND BLAH) when you read that you think by yousel: wow this is the one that I really need!
So I bring to my home. The setup is so easy... Just setup.
Second day = NO WIRELESS CONNECTION... Ok, I thought by myself: I did the setup, so I did wrongly. Then I start again. I reseted the (WRT610N THE BEST ROUTER EVER)... and set it up again... RESULT = WIRELESS OK.
Third day: sometimes NO CONNECTION. OK, I thought probably it is my modem, of course I just bought (and is a Linkys brand too - CM 100). Then I called to Comcast and I wasted my time trying fixed nothing. So I got sad and I went to my bed.
Forth day = The connection was bad just for little time.
Fifth day = I gave up
Sixth day = I gave up again.
Seventh day = I was injured of couse.
Eighth day = I WASTED ABOUT TWO HOURS WITH TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
Now I don`t know which is anymore... But I WASTED PRECIOUS TIME WITH A TECHNICAL SUPPORT because theoretically I have "THE BEST ROUTER EVER", SO I WANTED USE ALL FEATURES. I TRYED TO KNOW HOW TO ACCESS MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE THROUGHT INTERNET... RESULT = I WASTED MORE TIME.
I CHATTED WITH GOOD THECNICIANS... BUT YOU KNOW THEY WORK WITH LINKSYS, SO THEY CAN`T NOT TELL THAT YOU JUST BOUGHT A TRASH! So they try to fix the problem or just between the lines written that you`re not knowing how to connect your product.
Now I have the third problem: I just win for my birthday one WINDOWS MEDIA EXTENDER - ANOTHER LINKSYS (DMA2100).... I`M AFRAID... MY GIRLFRIEND IS GOING TO BE UPSET BUT I DON`T KNOW IF GOING TO USE.
NOW I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ALL.
WHAT I HAVE TO DO WITH MY ROUTER? IT IS NOT WORKING AND THE TIME TO RETURN IS OVER!
OR UNTILL WHEN EVERYONE HAVE TO WAIT TO LINKSYS HELP EVERYBODY.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
MUCHFRUSTRATED.

Can no longer connect to internet with wireless router.

For almost a year I've had a wrt54g ver 6 connected on my computer with my cable modem and my sons computer with the compatible pci card. Everything worked fine until a few days ago, I came home and could not get on the internet with my computer. My son could, but not me. I didn't change anything at all. So I reinstalled the router drivers and I still can't connect to the internet, but now neither can the other computer. What could be the problem?
michele

it sounds like you might have to clone the mac address of the computer that was originally connected to the cable modem. clone mac address can be found on setup tab after log into router.

I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green

I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green. I've tried going through my new MacBook Pro settings and it the diagnostics check, it says network changes detected, I tell it that it "yes" does connect to a cable modem, it tells me to restart it, after I do it asks if there are any other devices hooked up ( firewall) and when I say no it tells me that it can't fix the problem.
Now I know that I probably have a new IP address because of the cable company switching the boxes but it was working fine with the other box, now there isn't a signal to be had on it!
Please anybody out there that can help!!!??

Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

Setup D-Link DIR-655 router help

Greetings,
I'm trying to set up a D-Link Extreme Router (DIR-655) as the wireless router for my home. The setup wizard disc that came with the router doesn't appear to work on a Mac even though it says it's mac compatible on the box. I'm assuming I need to manually install the router which I have no idea how to do. My service provider is comcast and my modem is a scientific atlanta modem. I can connect to the internet by plugging Ethernet directly from the modem into my MBP. If anyone can point me in the right direction from here I'd really appreciate it.
desperately missing wireless,
JC

I have the same router D-Link DIR 655 coming and here is what I am thinking...
The CD is not for use with Mac, but finally on the net somewhere I found the answer to my question about plugging in and then immediately seeing the wireless connection, which I assume would be the case. Here is what I picture -- corrections welcome, as I will be doing this Monday. (I am way too spoiled using my iMac for a 'router' at home.. LOL it baffles the PC users... they can't find the router!)
Unplug the modem from the power supply.
Connect the Ethernet wire from the router to the modem.
Power up the router by plugging it in.
Power up the modem again by plugging it back in.
Now you should be able to see the wifi connection with a wireless laptop.
Type the default address 192.168.0.1 into FireFox and you should be able to skip to the Wireless configuration screen.
I'm trying to read about it as much as I can before it arrives. The thing I will have to do is this is for a business office and I'm not sure if I can also have another wire plugged from a computer into the modem as well as the router...because it makes me think that setup would two IP addresses. (I did this at home for years until the cable company shut me off... said I had to pay extra for 5 connections I was using with my hub!) So that will be a question for me to try to figure out.
Also, set the router on b and g not n, for the older cards, if you don't have the 'n' protocol.
So other than testing what I can do with my connection which is wired into the wall for another port on the opposite side of the room, I think that is how to start.
My first test will be to see if I can have the router connected on the opposite wall (because it will give a better shot for the signal to travel to the other rooms int he office) and have my laptop plugged in at the desk at the same time. The internet worked both from methods (plugged to the modem and plugged to the wall) but that was only one connection each time as I was alone doing this and only had a laptop with me.
Ideally I want the computer to be at the desk, able to plug into the modem, and the router across the way for the others to use on WiFi.
PS - the documentation was useless.. I am getting this info from reading other sources on the web....also be advised that you just plug in and get a WiFi connection I am going to assume it's 'open' and unless you are in a remote area at home, but in a building of other businesses like I am, you will need to password protect the wireless connection immediately.

How to setup Slingbox AV with Linksys E2500

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 and I am unable to setup internet viewing with it. I have went in and done the port forwarding and still I have not had any success. I would appreciate any helpful information.

So the concern that you said is the configuration of the Router ( E2500 ) at home.. So could please inform us the name of the ISP( Internet Service Provider )... So it all depends upon the ISP( Internet Service Provider ) setup...
If you want to configure the router with the help of the CD so for that you need to unistall the existing Cisco Connect Software from the computer...
Reset the Router and power cycle the network...Make the following connectivity:
Modem ----> Router -----> Computer
They all should be connected with the Ethernet Cable... Then install the Cisco Connect Software... It will help you in configuring the Router...
As far as Slingbox is concern you did port forwarding but until and unless you are not online it would work....
