Configure Cisco 2611 to work with non DSL modem using a static outside IP address
Hi,
My background:
* New to the networking world
* I have used Cisco IOS and can get around pretty good
* I understand IP addressing
* Some filed experience
Ok, here's what I have.
Cisco 2611 with 10/100 BASE E 0/0 & E 0/1 Ethernet interfaces
Cisco Catalys 3500XL 48 port switch
Westell DSL modem issued by AT&T
I pretty much have a good understanding of how to configure the switch but am having problems configuring the router to access and route out to the internet. I have a statice IP address that was issued from AT&T that I need to use becuase I am hosting a Apache Web server.
If anyone can guide me step-by step, how to configure my Cisco 2611 router with a non Cisco DSL modem using a statice outside IP address, I would be very greatful. Thank you

This is the default route. The destination that the router will send traffic that it does not have a route for.

Hi donjohnston,
Thank you very much. I actually had most of the configuration the way you explained except that I did not have line 13 the next hop or the ISP default gateway. Thanks. However, there my be one other issue. In order to use the statice IP address that AT&T gave me, I had to bridge my DSL modem which also ment that I needed to provide the PPPoE information in the router (username and password). I know how to do this with LinkSys and Netgear but not with my 2611. Can you help with this as well?
Thank you again, you've been very helpful.

I have a comcast cable modem and i think i get my IP through DHCP, do i configure my 2611 in this case.
Is <ISP next hop address>, the default router of my ISP that i can see in my linksys wireless router WRT310?
