Why is configuring a 4321 router difficult? (Any help would be greatly appreciated - am desperate)

There needs to be a simple graphical interface to get these units going.

 

Eventually we will be using the more advanced features of this unit, but right now we just want to get it running as a router.

 

I have figured out how to talk to it through a terminal program
I have managed to set the time/date
I even got the simple web interface to work

 

The graphical interface requires that a user ID be created.

 

I entered the following "username admin privilege 15 secret admin" and it appears to have accepted it (I did not enter the "line vty 0 15" command or the "login local" command as shown in the following thread: https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/lan-switching-and-routing/username-and-password/td-p/3226098 as that after the "line vty 0 15" it is prompting me for something that is not documented in the answer.

 

But I digress.

 

- I need to set this unit up with an address of 192.168.1.1 (aka the "gateway" address used in Windows) I'm assuming on the top ethernet port (0/0/1) with the bottom ethernet port (0/0/0) going to the ADSL modem.

 

- Then turn on the DHCP server if it's not defaulted on - with a starting address of 192.168.1.100.

 

- Then I need to enter my PPPoE login information.

 

- And finally, I need to have that information written to permanent memory so it's still there after a power failure (I found that I have to keep configuring the simple web access every time I power the unit down to try programming it again.)

 

Can anyone please help?

 

I was supposed to install this unit on Christmas day and if I miss tomorrow, New Year's Day, I'll have to wait until Easter when the store is closed and I can take the network down.

 

While the manual does mention DHCP - I have no clue as to what it is talking about and it's late (I spent most of day figuring out how the get the simple web interface to work and trying to unsuccessfully create a user ID to use the graphical web interface.)

 

And the manual does not appear to cover the PPPoE part (or at least it's not coming up in a text search, nor does ADSL, and the only discussion on Modems appear to be about the one used to connect to the unit to remotely access it.)

 

Thanx in advance
A Very Desperate Person

Hi,

It would be helpful if we could see your current state of configuration to understand how to integrate the additional settings into it.

Would you be so kind to run the show running-config command, capture the entire output, and post it here? We can take it from there.

Best regards,
Peter

I've copied it in its entirety including the "!''s that have noting next to them. (Is there a way to get rid of the "more" and have it just dump it all to the screen? I end up leaning on the Return key to speed it up then have to scroll up a few pages of prompts.)

Bloor_Router#

Hello,

 

do you have access to the command line ? It should look like this:

 

4321#

 

I've gotten that far (even assigned a password after answering "y" to running the auto config after one of the many power off/on restarts.)

Hello,

 

here is a generic sample configuration. Certain information such as PAP username and password might have been given to you by your provider. IP addressing is obviously arbitrary.

In order to display the entire configuration without any breaks, configure 'terminal length 0' on your router:

 

Bloor_Router#terminal length 0

 

Now if you do a 'sh run' the entire configuration will be displayed. I don't think you can get rid of the line or section markers (!)...

 

Here is the generic config:

Thanks for info on the "terminal length" command.

 

And I see my problem regarding PPPoE, I searched on the whole word while the manual only uses "PPP" so I did not find it.

 

That leaves a couple of questions (more if I can't figure out the PPP section of the manual - but fist I want to get the Gateway address configured):

 

- Is the IP address I assign to Ethernet 0/0/1 the IP address of the "Gateway" that one enters in Windows IP4 config screen?

 

- Do I ignore Ethernet 0/0/0 and just plug it into the modem? Or does it too need to be configured?

The manual shows an example where 0/0/0 is set to 10.0.0.1 with 0/0/1 unassigned, 0/0/2 with 10.10.10.1 (I only have two ports so should I just substitute 0/0/1 for 0/0/2 and ignore the other lines in the example?) What is also confusing me is the example where 0/0/3 is set to 8.8.8.1 which belongs to Google and I'm wondering why, is this needed? And if so do I need more ports?

 

While my config shows a Lever 15 user named "admin" I cannot log into the graphical interface with it. I have posted that question here: https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/lan-switching-and-routing/username-and-password/m-p/3226098


P.S. The PPPoE info I have from Bell Canada.
