what is the model of the Cisco router that you have?
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI have a client that just had their ISP changed their Static IP address from 69.1.1.1 to 85.1.1.1 (example)
How do I go about changing the router to port the new number to my server so that I can remote into it again? I have zero cisco experience.
Also, the router is providing DHCP, so what changes do I need to make in the router for this?
I understand how to change the A and MX records, just no clue on what I need to do on the cisco.
Thanks in advance.

This is very generic, there may be multiple routes setup, I was just giving example of command.
Without seeing your config I wouldn't know exactly what to change for your specific configuration to verify that your remote login would work. You can type: sho run and scan for entries that have your old IP address in it. I am sure there may be telnet entries, SSH access entries, etc.
what you will want to do is telnet into it and do a "show run" to review the configuration.
you will want to look at where the old IP is in the config and replace it with the new information. if you have absolute ZERO experience, posting snippets of the config will assist in helping you. but over all you will want to make the changes to the serial interface and default route which is real simple if it a point-to-point circuit.
then for the IP forwarding if you are using NAT, this will work
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.200 22 209.247.228.201 22
extendable
or you can do it by interface
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.200 22 interface serial0 22
extendable
forwards SSH (tcp port 22) traffic to the inside address 192.168.1.200
from the outside address 209.247.228.201
the PIX is a little different than a router. there will still be the default route, however there is named interfaces such as inside and outside. also port forwarding on the PIX if you are natting is as follows
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 3389 192.168.1.99 3389 netmask 255.255.255.255
that forwards traffic from the outside interface to 192.168.1.99 on port 3389 (microsoft RDP)
Here is the info from the ISP: (not actual)
Default Gateway: 6.2.17.9 NEW
Netmask: 255.255.255.248
Usable IPs Low: 6.2.17.10
Usable IPs High: 6.2.17.15
Primary DNS: 216.68.1.100
Secondary DNS: 216.68.2.100
Serial Interface (Fuse): 6.2.16.7 NEW Serial Interface (Customer): 6.2.16.8
Netmask: 255.255.255.252
So I would change to: ????
ip address outside 6.2.17.9 255.255.255.248
and
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248
Based on the sample ISP info you shared, the commands that should work for you would be:
To change outside interface's IP:
ip address outside <new_static_IP_given_to_you
To change the default gateway:
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 6.2.17.9 1
As suggested by other answers, you should validate that the outside interface currently has the old static IP you had from your ISP - before you implement that above commands.
do a show configuration on your 506e and look for any nameif statements (should be within the first few lines). See what the Port0 is named, most likely it is "outside". If this is the case then your statements from earlier should work.
ip address outside 6.2.16.8 255.255.255.248
and
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 6.2.17.9
However, from another earlier post of yours it seems that the 6.2.16.8 is already assigned to a serial port. You can't have 2 ports with the same IP. Just make sure the IP address given to you by your ISP for the ethernet port0 (since that is usually the one that 506e uses for public access) is the one you use with the subnet you have listed. I am curious if it works. If you have issues, we can help resolve them
OK, I am onsite, I have connection via my laptop to the Adtran device, but I am still having issues connecting via the Cisco PIX.
Here is the config that works on the laptop:
IP: 6.2.17.10
SubNet: 255.255.255.248
Gateway: 6.2.17.9
Primary DNS: 216.68.1.100
Secondary DNS: 216.68.2.100
This is how I Configured the router: (remember I am a novice at this)
Enter pass
enable
configure terminal
ip address outside 6.2.17.10 255.255.255.248
(this works)
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 6.2.17.9 1
(when I do this I get:
cannot add route entry. possible conflict with existing routes.
The route that is currently in the cisco from the previous configuration is:
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 6.11.147.121 1

DHCP is normally for the private LAN network. DHCP scope shouldn't need to be changed.
Log into router. type "enable", it should prompt for the enable password. Once in type "config t" then it should go into the config prompt. to change the outside ip address, you will need the ip address and the subnet provided to you from your isp provider. The command is
ip address outside 8.5.1.1 255.255.255.0
the 255.255.255.0 part is the subnet for the public IIP they gave you.
then, make sure you get the gateway to use from your ISP. Then enter the command:
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x
where x.x.x.x is the gateway to use from your isp.
