Question

Cisco 806 12.3(7)T1 no DHCP from Ambit Cable Modem

Asked by: MSGeek

My router worked great with my old Motorola Modem, until the cable light started flashing.  Cable company claimed it was the modem, boy did I not want to let go of that one.  Now I have an Ambit Microsystems Inc. U10C011 or model number 60678EU--U10C011 which may be found here: http://www.ambitbroadband.com/broadband/U10C011.asp

I have followed and read Cisco's http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk86/tk89/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080094be1.shtml with no luck.  I would like to try setting the MAC address on the Ethernet1 to that of a PC I can get a DHCP lease with but the MAC address format from ipconfig is diffrent then what the router is looking for "H.H.H MAC address"

Bottom line I cannot afford a static IP and the Ambit does not negotiate DHCP addreses nicely with the Cisco router.

Thanks,

MSGeek

PS.  My e-mail is not fully cooperating, but I wil check post frequently.

There are different ways to represent a MAC address

hh.hh.hh.hh
hh:hh:hh:hh
hhhh.hhhh

Whichever way your "ipconfig" shows it, just use the same digits in the "cisco" format.

i.e.
       Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-0C-F1-CE-0E-22
  Same as
      00.0C.F1.CE.OE.22
  Same as
      000C.F1CE.OE22
  Same as:
      00:0C:F1:CE:0E:22

Hello???

 

by: MSGeekPosted on 2004-10-29 at 08:42:12ID: 12445510

lrmoore... my apologies for the delay.   Multiple problems with this network (My home Net) , it's bad enough working oin the stuff all day long.  As soon as I assigned the correct MAC Address thee modem and Router started communicating.  All my workstations and my laptop can access the router as well.  Funny thing though, my server would not.  Turns out my server has some electrical problems.  I tried a different power supply and unplugging everything, no luck.  I just ordered a new UPS today.  I built it over 5 years ago, so time to scrap it.

Sorry to be late getting back to you, you have always been very helpful.   I hope this post helps someone else out.  Many thanks lrmoore!!  MSGeek

lrmoore..

one more reelated question.  When I config In E1 using: interface Ethernet1
 description Connected to Internet
 mac-address xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
 ip address dhcp
 ip access-group 115 in
 ip access-group 115 out
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
 no ip proxy-arp
 ip mtu 1492
 ip nat outside
 no ip route-cache
 no cdp enable

I have no problem getting an IP address from the provider, however if I use the following config (Created using Autosecure feature):
interface Ethernet1
 description Connected to Internet
 mac-address xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
 ip address dhcp
 ip access-group autosec_complete_bogon in
 ip access-group 115 out
 ip verify unicast source reachable-via rx allow-default 101
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
 no ip proxy-arp
 ip mtu 1492
 ip nat outside
 ip inspect autosec_inspect out
 no cdp enable

The ISP will not give me an IP... Any idea what I might be blocking that they are looking for??  Thanks, MSGeek

 

by: lrmoorePosted on 2004-11-02 at 12:57:10ID: 12477361

Probably this line:
 >ip verify unicast source reachable-via rx allow-default 101
What does acl #101 look like?

 

by: MSGeekPosted on 2004-11-02 at 13:08:49ID: 12477470

access-list 101 permit udp any any eq bootpc

 

by: lrmoorePosted on 2004-11-02 at 13:26:55ID: 12477709

Try removing that line and see if you can get an IP address..
   no ip verify unicast source reachable-via rx allow-default 101

 

by: lrmoorePosted on 2004-11-02 at 13:28:32ID: 12477737

> ip access-group 115 out
What is in acl 115?

> ip access-group autosec_complete_bogon in
what does access-list extended autosec_complete_bogon look like?

 

by: MSGeekPosted on 2004-11-02 at 13:32:41ID: 12477810

Thx for the command... had that part, just did not know which of the statements was killing me.  I am tempted to leave the unsecure config running.

When I first secured the config, I did not lose the IP (DHCP Lease) for a while, perhaps until the next renewal.  Can you tell me what that statement does on the interface and why you feel it may be interfering with the ISP's granting of leases?  I know some guys just want the answer and related command, I like to understand it or haven't learned anythink.  Thanks, MSGeek

Here's the documentation on the ip reverse path verification feature:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123cgcr/secur_r/sec_i2g.htm#wp1089860

We've been fighting all kinds of issues with the security routers getting their own IP address via DHCP. I don't think it was really designed around anything other than a static IP, and kludges added on to make it work. My personal opinion is that a router should not be turned into a firewall, and a firewall should not be turned into a router.
Routers were designed for one single purpose - to pass packets quickly from one interface to another.
Firewalls were designed for one single purpose - to block packets that you don't want.
Any other feature is nothing more than a kludge and misses the whole point.

My problem with those access-lists is that they are very long and don't do anything. Every single packet in or out must be evaluated and the entire access-list processed from top down.
Those networks that are being denied don't exist anyway. The ISP's should be blocking them upstream so you would never see them.

You acl #115 blocks the dhcp request from going out. You have a series of specific "deny" lines, then the "deny all" implicit at the end blocks everything else.
The inspect rules "should" open a temporary acl in response to a request, but there is no inspect rule for bootp...

lrmoore.. thanks for the link!  I agree with you on the router/firewall issue.  I bought the router to learn the IOS, at the time I was going to persue some Cisco certs and this one ran the full IOS.  Well that was put on hold, but while I have it I may as well put it to good use.  If I could afford a PIX I would buy one.  I am running ISA Server behind this, which causes it's own problems.  I am learning a lot, but I am also clueless about a lot that I have set up.  I guess I like to jump head first into the fire.  Thanks agaiin, MSGeek.

It's fun to learn, though, isn't it?
In case you can't tell, I'm not a big fan of the "new and improved" IOS firewall, and I really don't like the SDM GUI...

Have you ever seen the RATS tool that supposedly does a security audit on your router configs? Bunch of HOOEY and I've been round and round with their technical people on the bogus suggestions that they make.

Why in the world would you need 35 "denies" acl entries when all you need is 2 "permits":
   access-list extended outside_in
     permit tcp any any established
     permit udp any eq 53 any
   interface <outside>
     ip access-group outside_in in

Done. By itself, this acl automatically blocks every single one of those networks without creating the CPU overhead.

For my internal LAN, I have no written policies that I need to block certain ports, but in response to many of the latest worms this year, we block icmp pings outboung (except from the network management station)
   
    access-list extended inside_out
      deny icmp any any echo
      permit ip any any
    interface Fastethernet 0/0
     ip access-group inside_out in

Very secure, very streamlined, very efficient...

I actually understand those, nice and simple.. interesting comment about my ISP blocking a lot of those IPs that don't exist.. I was aware they are invalid, but did not know what was possible as far as spoofing..Thanks again.
