Cisco 877W comms problem

athol
Level 1
Level 1

Hi I have been struggling with a configuration problem for some time, and I am sure that I missing something simple, but at the moment is it beyond me. The issue is this. I have been given a Cisco 877W ADSL wireless router to use at home. I have the ADSL stuff working and I have the wireless half working. The position of the router is that it is sitting between the internet and a linux firewall/webserver, a l2 managed switch (Intel 460) 24 port switch which has 2 vlans on it one the default and the other running dot1q back to F2 on the router. What I am attempting to do is have my sons friends connect via the wireless interface and have the data travel back through the vlan to the firewall where I am running smnp and traffic shapping. From the inside of the network I can ping everything this includes the wireless attached laptops. my problem is that using the laptop connected to the wireless interface I can ping it'self, the dhcp gateway and the IP of the dialer0 interface I am not able to ping anything else. dot1q is enabled and the vlan is linked back to the dotradio 0.2 sub interface. I am currently using trunking on the router although I have also tried to bridging the interface as well. I can ping directly from the router through to hte switch and I have also unplugged the cable upon which vlan2 travels. This action causes ping to fail so I beleive that the vlan is ok, howerver I have not had any success at all up to this point. Can anyone out there help me please ?

Thank you

Hello Athol,

have a look at this configuration (changed somewhat from the previous), basically what I did was bridge the wireless DOT interface to a BVI, and also add the command ´switchport mode trunk´ to the FastEthernet interface on the router where your switch is connected to.

You might want to make a backup first of the current configuration before putting this one in...)

OK what happened was that once the conf was in there was no comms between 10.10.10.1 and anything and no translation on the dialer 0. Once this was done I am back to where I was prior to any changes. can't think of anything else at this point

Kind Regards

Athol Reid

Hello Athol,

not good...

I´ll check again, and let you know.

Regards,

GP

Hello Athol,

did you actually have the ´switchport mode trunk´ command configured on your FastEthernet 2 interface already, that is, before I sent you the last configuration ? I am thinking that you might need to add ´switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q´, since you are connecting to a non-Cisco switch, and since the default trunking mode on Cisco is ISL (which is Cisco-proprietary)...

Regards,

GP

Hi Georg

Yes you are right, I shall reloasd and advise.

Kind Regards

Athol reid

Hi Georg

Ok I removed all trunking commands and started again. Still no joy.

Kind Regards

Athol Reid

Hello Athol,

sorry for the misunderstanding, what I meant to say was: make sure that the trunking is configured:

interface FastEthernet2

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1

switchport mode trunk

Regards,

GP

Hi Georg

Sorry it was the way I worded my reply to you. Your instructions were fine. I removed then reinserted the commands to make sure I started at the beginning again. I note that the command is "switchport trunk encapsulation dot1" rather than "dot1q" can you confirm this is correct please? In the mean time I shall input the commands given. I have now done this and when I run "sh run int fast 2" command all I get back is :

interface FastEthernet2

switchport mode trunk

There is not indication that encapsulation has been accepted do you know if this is correct ?

At the moment I can ping the 10.10.10.0 network, Translation is working on the dialer 0 interface and I can ping the 192.168.100.254 interface.

I am wondering is there any way to tell if encapsulation is actually working ?

for info only: I have been given a cisco catalyst 500 express switch to use for fault finding. but I do not want to introduce any new problems at this point so I shall not be using this unless you indicate that it will be ok.

Kind Regards

Athol Reid

Hello Athol,

ok...

Can you put the configuration back to what it was when you had connectivity except for the VLAN 2 clients, then add one of the VLAN 2 clients directly to one of the FastEthernet ports on your router (and put that port in VLAN 2 with the ´switchport access vlan 2´ command) ? Does that client then have connectivity ?

Regards,

GP

Hi Georg

I changed the config back and after testing connectivity I then got my wifes pc (I'm in trouble) changed the IP address to 172.16.11.25 and put it directly off FastEthernet 3 put in the command under interface FastEthernet 3 "switchport access vlan 2"

I am sorry to report that it has not worked. I have included the relevant parts of the conf below

Hello Athol,

can you try and take the bridge-group commands off interface Vlan 2 ?

Basically, what I am trying to do is isolate the problem to one piece of equipment, which in your case I think might be the switch. If we can prove that a PC connected directly to the router on Vlan 2 works, the only piece of equipment that is left is the switch...

Regards,

GP

Hi Georg

I removed all reference to bridging and I put FastEthernet 3 into vlan 2 and connected a workstation direct to FastEthernet 3 port and was able to ping from the 10.10.10.0 network that computer
