Routing through PA-2FE-TX on 7200VXR

[troyteague]

I am trying to configure a 7200VXR with a PA-2FE-TX I just installed. I want to set the 0-port of this adapter to the internal network (192.168.1.0/24) and the 1-port to the external/ISP network (63.0.0.0/8). The router's internal address is 192.168.1.1 and external address is 63.106.39.108. The default gateway on the external/ISP network is 63.106.39.1. I can ping 63.106.39.1 (as well as hosts on the Internet) from the router but not from a host (client PC) on the internal network, though the internal host can ping 192.168.1.1. I've set a static route of 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 63.106.39.1. Is there something else I need to set/apply to make this work? Thanks in advance for your time...

Troy,

The one thing you are missing is NAT. You need to use a globally routable address to access to the Internet. Configure NAT (PAT) to use the outside interface IP as the source of all traffic from your LAN.

You need a config similar to this one;

int f0/0

ip nat inside

int f0/1

ip nat outside

ip nat inside source list 150 interface f0/1 overload

access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any

Sundar,

Yes, that did the trick. It works like a champ now. I should have known to do this. Thanks for knocking the cobwebs loose!

Thanks!
