Cisco 881W switch connection issue

bryanlooi
Level 1
Level 1

I have a cisco 881W which seems to have an issue connecting to s 3COM Smart switch. Systems connected to the 3COM would not register an ip address. HOwever if i switch the 3COM to a unmanaged switch, the problems dissapears. I was wondering if there is a configuration that is needed to ensure than the cisco 881W can communicate with a smart switch. The WAM connection is coming from a modem with ADSL

This is my current configuration.

Any help would be gratefull.

Hello Bryan.

It could be the interface going into err-disable, maybe the interface stays down due to spanning-tree or some kind of incompatibility.

Can you recreate the issue?

Can you post the output of the show interface command when the issue is happening?

Can you post the output of the show interface status err-disable ?

... Show log

Regards.

Wilson B.

Thanks for the reply Wilson.

Do you want the output from the 3COM switch or the Cisco Router.

And how do i go around showing these logs?

Sorry for these question. I am new to this.

Thanks

Bryan Looi

Bryan,

Wilson is asking you to run the commands show interfaces and show interfaces status err-disabled from the CLI and post the output. 

You might also make sure the 3COM switch does not have any conflicting VLAN configuration.

Hello,

It would be good if you also run a debug dhcp for the client process on that interface.

As a side note to the main discussion:

Using a permit ip any any for the NAT setup will cause way to many issues.

Be as specific as possible and never use any as the source.

Addressing Daniel's question. The VLAN on the switch is already at VLAn 1, untagged. I firts though this was the problem as well, however, i used this setup on my old 871W router and there was no problem. Also connecting the cable modem direct to the switch also works. Only when the cisco rouiter is placed in between the cable moem and switch problem occurs.

Addressing Julio.  How do i go about running a debug DHCP? and I was not to osure about tha NAT. So i used my old configurations which NAT was enabled for the WAN interface FE4 and also NAT for the inside traffic. How to i specify?

Thanks all for the help. Really appreciate it.

Hello bud,

It seems it has an IP address.

So u are missing just thr route

Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fasteth 0/4

For the nat

Ip access-list extended NAT
Permit ip inside_Subnet any

Ip nat inside source list NAT int fa 0/4 overload

Hey Julio,

How to I enable the route?

But I can use an unmanaged switch and it will work fine. Only with this 3COM smart switch, the problem persist.

The NAT if i leave it it should be fine correct?

Thanks Julio for all the help. Really appreciate it

Leave the nat the way it is for the moment.

For the route

Config te
Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x
Where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the ISP modem.

If u do noy have it use
Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fast 0/4

Hey Julio

But isnt this config for the ISP modem to the router? For the WAN interface?

Currently the issue isnt here. I can connect to the ISP modem.

Or is this the commands to speccify an IP for the lan interfaces. Currently all my interfaces have no ip address. But i think the VLAN is assignned to the ports. So thats how im getting internet and IP address.

Why is that when i use an unmanaged switch it works?

Thanks for all your help.

Hello.

So I misunderstood ur post..

Thanks for the explanation.

Also share
Show interface fas x/x switchport

Where x/x is the interface connected to the switch

This a really fair and simple configuration.

I do not think the issue is on this device but

Then provide us

show interfaces status err-disabled

Show run interface fastethernet x/x

Where x/x is the interface going to the switch.

Hello Julio

The commands above return an error. And the err-disabled command return a blnk screen. So im not too sure what is going on.

Thanks

Bryan Looi

Hello,

so if you do show interface fast 0/x switchport you get an syntax error??

What's the interface connecting to the switch???

Hello Julio

Yes, Running

show interface fast 0/x switchport

Gets me an error

Its connected to FA0 currently. This problem only occurs on this switch, On an unmanaged switch, no problem.

Hello Bryan,

Then share

show interface fas 0 switchport

show run interface fast 0

show interface fas 0
