Configure Cisco 800 series to the internet

SDM:
1. Log into SDM
2. Click on Configure (on top icon menu)
3. Make sure "Interfaces and Connections" is selected on the left side
4. Click on "Ethernet LAN" or "Ethernet (PPPOE or Unencapsulated routing)" and click on the "Create New Connection" link on the bottom of your screen.
5. Follow the onscreen prompts and thats about all it takes to get your internet connection up and running.

You will have to find out if your ISP makes you use PPPOE or not to pick the options mentioned in step 4.

You can also use the Cisco Configuration Assistant to create this connection. More information is available here -> http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7287/index.html. You might have to login to download that software.

Hi,

I have already done the following, over and again.
When i test the connection it says that i need  to set up DNS (confgure-other-DNS)
I cannot find where to edit or create dns in the SDM

Will take a look at the link provided

Thanks

please show the config

Away from home, will send you the config within 48 hours

Cheers

DNS can be configured by going to Configure-Additional Tasks-DNS from SDM. If you are using the latest version of JAVA it may not work properly. If that is the case revert back to a previous version of JAVA, I believe somewhere in the neighborhood of Version 6 Update 5.

You can also also check out this page for more information on how to configure it via CLI and troubleshooting -> http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_tech_note09186a00800c525f.shtml

HI,

I using cli macro, which bulit up the config easily
cli-config-worksheet.xls

to KhalsaComputer,

Post was from the top on my head, but yes this is the issue one the issue i get:
Configure-Additional Tasks-DNS
But cannot see the DNS
Will downgrade JAVA & give it a go

Great, i can now configure DNS, which i could access after downgrading JAVA.

The last thing i find a bit weird is that to be able to go on the WWW i have to manually add my ISP dns to my NIC

I want to use the router 10.10.10.1 as my Primary DNS, what did i miss?

You need to configur your router as a DNS server. I believe the command to use here is - ip domain-server. You can verify that from the link in the last message I posted.

I have configured the router as a DNS server

Still not working!

Here is my setting:

ip domain-lookup
ip name-server 10.10.10.1

-------------------------
My NIC is like that:

10.10.10.2
255.255.255.0
10.10.10.1

10.10.10.1
-------------------------

Cannot find what's wrong!

Hi,

Please show the whole config, and 'sh ip route', 'sh ip int brief'

Hi Jinhood,
Thank you for post- Will definitively try out- Speciallly that i would rather use the CLI than the SDM


to kalmar,

Hope this will bring an answer to the DNS server- Thanks


Show ip route-

Gateway of last resort is 0.0.0.0 to network 0.0.0.0

     10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C       10.10.10.0 is directly connected, Vlan1
S*   0.0.0.0/0 is directly connected, Dialer

------------------------------------------------

sh ip in brief


Dot11Radio0                unassigned      YES TFTP   administratively down down

FastEthernet0              unassigned      YES unset  up                    down

HI Jimwood,

It works beautifully, thank you!
Only thing  that i still had to configure my NIC to my ISP DNS to access the net
I believe the ip-domain server cmd is missing
Could you please send me an example of the cmd for ip-domain server, you post above my straightforward & clear?

I run into a different problem now which is a different post, my router is stuck in rommon!!!!
Can get out of it!

Hi Defrey, youll need to get your isp's DNS servers to use in conjunction with the ip dns server command. Once you have these you can do one of two things :-

1. From global config mode (conf t) issue the ip dns server command followed by the "ip name-server <1st DNS SERVER> <2nd DNS SERVER> command then in the DHCP config  change the dns-server to the internal address of your router.

OR

2. Manually set the IP address of your ISP's DNS servers in your PC's network configuration.

With regards to being unable to boot to anything other than rommon, chances are that the configuration register setting is oncorrect, this should be set to 0x2102. To set this, from the rommon prompt, issue the command "confreg 0x2102" then issue "reset" to reset the router. It should now boot to the IOS rather than ROMMON.

Hope this helps.

You can also use the OpenDNS servers instead of your ISP servers. 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
