Wan port question

Could someone explain to me the Ethernet wan port menu. I'm having a lot of connection problems with Airplay. It keeps dropping and coming back on.
I checked with my ISP and the signal (cable) is 100% stable so the problem has to be my AE.
If I change the settings to 10Mbps/half Duplex, it seems to work ok for a while. But Automatic is a definite no-no.
Why all those choices, especially half and full duplex and what do they mean in terms of overall performance ?
Thx

My question to you is did this always happen or just started happening with this modem & AirPort base station. What is the exact model of your AirPort? How about the modem?
This has always happened since installation 3 months ago
AE 1143 - Modem is : Motorola SB5101
Is 8 Mbps the maximum rated download speed that your ISP is providing you for Internet service?
Yes
Is 8 Mbps the maximum rated download speed that your ISP is providing you for Internet service?
Speed test (http://www.speedtest.net/)
up: 8.17 - down: 1.02
Changing the WAN Ethernet port speed will do nothing to improve AirPlay's performance.
But it does ! With lower speed = less drop in feed. Or maybe it's just the fact that I change from one to another.

Beginner Question: SA520 Admin access through WAN port

Dear all,
I've a beginner question regarding my brand new SA520: How can I configure the box so that I'm able to access the admin GUI not only through the LAN ports but also from the WAN ports?
I tried already to allow inbound traffic to the firewall's internal IP address (not sure if done right, so) and granted the admin user access profile from WAN and LAN: I can access the box from the LAN but not from the WAN. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
PS: Yupp, I know that it's not a good idea to expose a FW admin GUI to the WAN - but this is only a lab environment

Go to Administration -> Users.
click on the 'Edit User Policies' 'Login' button. It's there you can enable WAN access.

Using the WAN port as a "LAN" port on the Airport Extreme Base Station...

Hi everyone,
I'm re-building my home wireless network and I'm doing so in preparation for the Slingbox AV I ordered last week. Here's my current setup:
I have a DSL modem attached to an Airport Express (802.11n) in my office broadcasting my internet signal. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11g) set up in my living room as a WDS extender. I currently use the base station in my living room to connect the DishNetwork ViP722 DVR to the internet and allow me to set recordings remotely on my iPhone when I'm away from home. I use the LAN port on the base station to do this, and now with the Slingbox on the way (should be here early next week), I'm wondering what I need to do to make an internet connection available for the Slingbox AV.
My question: Will I be able to simply use the WAN port as a "LAN" port since the Airport Extreme Base Station is being used as a WDS? It'd be awesome if the WAN port would become, essentially, a LAN port since it isn't being used.
Thanks in advance for your advice and insight!

I'd be surprised if that worked. The operation of an AirPort base station depends on keeping the WAN port and the LAN port(s) separate, as those normally are on two different networks.
You might consider buying an Ethernet hub or switch, which would allow your AirPort Extreme's LAN port to be shared. Here's an example of an inexpensive one:

WAN port inop and PM ethernet port inop - options to connect to AEBS?

Hi. We had a thunderestorm last week at home and we shut everything down and unplugged the power cords, but I think the cable to the cable modem fried some of my ports. I have a cable modem hooked to the WAN AEBS port and a cable from the LAN AEBS port to the ethernet port of my PM G4 867 (Quicksilver). After lots of troubleshooting with a different cable modem and my PB 15, it seems that the AEBS WAN port is dead and the ethernet port of the cable modem AND PM G4 are toast!!:( I guess all three got fried thru the cable.
I have a different cable modem that runs my digital phone so I connect thru it's ethernet port (after provisioning it). It works with my PBs directly and my airport express. I went to the Apple store and they confirmed the WAN was inop. Got a new AEBS. Now, here's my question:
I connect my PBs thru airport, but used the LAN to directly connect to the PM G4. The ethernet port is dead too. What should I do to get the PM connected?
I think the PM G4 quicksilver can accept an airport card (older kind). I can get one for around $100.
Is it easy to replace the ethernet card/port on this model? How much?
What's the best solution? What would you do? Thanks for your help.

I think the PM G4 quicksilver can accept an airport card (older kind). I can get one for around $100.
Yes the QuickSilver has an internal slot for the original 802.11b AirPort card. That slot is NOT compatible with the AirPort Extreme card.
Is it easy to replace the ethernet card/port on this model? How much?
There is no separate Ethernet card. The Ethernet port is built into the motherboard.
If you want Ethernet, the least expensive solution is a compatible PCI Ethernet card.

How does ARP work on WAN port and on IP alias

I have 10 public ip addresses and I have only 1 WAN port . So I have created aliases on the WAN port of the firewall . Then I have forwarded the ports of all the public ips to internal machines . The questions I have
1. Will the alias broadcast mac address ?
2.Will the WAN interface broadcast mac address ?
3. How will the upstream device will know which IP has which mac ?
4. What is the use of proxy arp in this scenario ?
5. Does gratuitous arp play any role here .?
Here is the setup
ISP link Fibre Connection >ISP device >Switch >Firewall >LAN computers
Please let me know the arp flow over the wan and the working of IP alias .

Hi,
APs on a different subnet then you have to
1. configure DHCP option 43 on the APs subnet
2. put in a DNS entry for CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER.localdomain.
3. Use IP helper address on the Router
Check step 4,5& 6 in Layer 3 LWAPP WLC Discovery Algorithm:

Lan and Wan port on Airport express

Hi guys I am wondering if you could help me out with my airport express.
I recently bought an airport express and have it set up as the following:
Router--->ethernet cable in to the Wan of Airport express--->ethernet from Airport Express Lan to computer
This is so that I have hardwired internet to my gaming computer and wifi in my room for all my devices. The problem is, however, next year I will not be in a situation that allows me the same setup. I will be too far away to run an ethernet cable from the router to the airport express. So I have decided I shall use it to join the network wirelessly and relay internet through both the Wan and Lan port (think this is called bridge mode?). I was also intending on connecting an ethernet hub to one of the ports so that I can connect multiple devices, smart tv, macbook, ps3 etc. But having one of the ports exclusively to my gaming pc.
My question is, with both Lan and Wan ports relaying internet to multiple devices, would I see a drop in performance, in particular in regard to my compter? Or is the airport express able to join both the 2.4GHz or 5GHz and relay each connection to a specific lan port?
Unfortunately I am not in a position to test this yet, lacking a 5GHz connection in my halls, so I would appreciate if anyone could help shed some light.
Thank you

is the main router also an apple product? if so, then yes you can extend wirelessly, but if the main router is an apple product, why are you bothering to extend wirelessly at all when the main router's signals should be strong enough?
if the main router is NOT an apple router, then you wil NOT be able to extend it wirelessly period.
in my experience, there are very FEW places you NEED to extend a network wirelessly, and i always recommend against it since there is a big performance decrease.
In the case of a wirelessly extended network, throughput may be reduced to less than 60 percent of that of a single device.

UC560 WAN PORT support for dot1q?

Hi,
should be a fairly simple question but does UC560 WAN port support dot1q trunking back to switch? Can't see any doc on this.
Aim is to run 3 VLAN's back to switch one for data,voice,SSL VPN for remote teleworker.
Thanks,
Joseph

I believe the WAN port is a L3 interface. You will have to use subinterfaces to do specific vlan communication between a switch.
You may look at this document. By the way, this is not possible via CCA and can only be done via CLI.

Using specific wan port for a particular domain/IP

I have RV042 router which is connected to the internet by both the wan ports and I want to use it as a load balancer so that both of my internet connections can be utilized evenly. But now I have an issue in this scenario as my remote application gets logout whenever the communicating IP address changes.
Now here is my question.
Is there any way out so that I can specify the wan port used for a particular public IP address/domain name?

Hi Kinshuk, thank you for using our forum, my name is Luis I am part of the Small business Support community. I read your post and I have an article from our knowledge base and called Guide me, you could use to configure a protocol binding in order to specify the WAN port that you want redirect and select the specific traffic.
http://www6.nohold.net/CiscoSB/Loginr.aspx?login=1&pid=2&app=search&vw=1&articleid=622
If you scroll down you will see a section called "Manage Protocol Binding" here you will see instructions to configure that.
If you have any question please let me know.
I hope you find this answer useful

RV320, specific traffic through specific wan port

Hello all,
I love the RV320, one of the best routers i've bought in years and it works like a charm with our Fiber connection on WAN1 and Coax Cable on WAN2.
The only question I have right now, i know it is possible to sent specific traffic (DNS,HTTP etc) through specific WAN ports.
But would it also be possible in some way to say *.website.com traffic will go through WAN port x only?
Specific apps we use are only available through an IP coming from the provider we use on WAN2 (cable coax), so it would be handy if we could say that if app this or that and/or website is being called, auto serve it through WAN port x.
Is this possible and if not, something cisco could add?

Dear Michiel,
Thank you for reaching Small Business Support Community.
Besides the service management options available I do not see a particular feature to accomplish your needs. I work on this community forum as an analyst and I am going to mark this post as a business opportunity for improvement of the device.
Thank you for your comment and please do not hesitate to reach me back if there is anything I may assist you with in the meantime.

MI424WR-GEN2 set WAN port to work as LAN

Hello,
Is there any chance to make WAN port of MI424WR-GEN2 to work as LAN?
I have multiple devices and need one more wired port.
Thanks a lot for your replies.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No. The WAN port cannot be used for LAN connectivity.
If you need more Ethernet ports, buy an Ethernet swtich. If 100Mbps is fast enough, 10/100 switches are quite inexpensive. 1Gbps switches can be found for decent prices as well.
Good Luck.

I am unable to set up my new Time Capsule with my BT Home Hub - every time i connect the ethernet cable from Wan port to Home Hub, the internet signal drops

Hi there -
I've just purchased a new Time Capsule, and would like to set up a small home network with my Laptop, iMac and wireless printer. I'm following the first steps, but as soon as I connect an ethernet cable between the WAN port of the TC and the ethernet port of the HH, my BT internet connection drops out and I have to restart the HH. Upon which point it drops out again. The airport utility can see my TC, and gets as far as me typing in the new network name and setting up a password, but then it can't quite get through to the next stage. All the time it's just flashing amber.
Please help!

Setup the TC in bridge mode before you cannot it to the HH.
Simply do the setup fully in isolation. And do it by ethernet.
Setup wireless to create a wireless network.
You can use either same SSID =Wireless name as the HH .. same security same password.
Or use a different name and setup.. totally up to you.
Update the TC and then plug it into the HH by ethernet.

EA2700 WAN PORT open to the world by default?

I just noticed last night that my EA2700 router was accessible on the WAN port, from the Internet, on ports 80 and 53. I am running router firmware 1.0.14 and the update utility reports that there is no newer version.
Remote management is NOT enabled (it defaults to port 8080 anyway) and I enabled and disabled it for good measure. Rebooted a few times, too.
I then enabled and disabled the regular admin interface on HTTPS and turned off HTTP. That enabled the admin interface on port 443, but still left it enabled on port 80. And now both port 80 and 443 were accessible outside the firewall! And now I couldn't turn off port 443!
I disabled UPnP and rebooted and still the ports were open to the Internet.
Needless to say, I was pretty horrified by this discovery.
I only leave one port forwarded, port 22, to SSH on an internal box. That is the only hole through my firewall I ever expect to see.
As a fix for this problem, I added three new port forwards on port 80, port 53 and port 443, and mapped them all to a random port on an unused IP on my internal network. THIS and ONLY this finally made ports 80, 53, and 443 inaccessible from the Internet at large.
What's going on here? It seems hard to believe that EVERY EA2700 device would have this issue or this would've come out long ago. Any ideas?

I have Fios. I have the TC connected via ethernet to the Fios router. TC WAN port ethernet to Fios Lan port. Then I just have the TC create a wireless network that is different than the Fios wireless network. How do I set up an Airport Extreme to the TC?

The Airport Extreme is a 4th Gen unit. I just want to keep the TC wireless name to go further through my house.

The Ethernet connection will be from one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme.
Then you can use AirPort Utility - Manual Setup to configure the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network (Not "extend a wireless network" as many users incorrectly think)
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your TC network
No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Radio Mode = Automatic
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same setting as the TC network
Wireless Password = Same setting as the TC network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and restart the entire network
Computers on the TC network will now be able to move to the area where the AirPort Extreme is located and not have to "switch" networks. This is known as a "roaming" network.
