Setting up NAT

Hi, all
I am new for the cisco's, and I was try to setup a home lab using cisco
2621, 2FE+1S link to cisco 1602 1E+1S. On the 2621 there is a 1FE
connect cable modem to the Internet. But some how cannot connect to the
Internet, on debug there error message always say "encapsulation
failed". How can I fix it and why?

Re: Setting up NAT

Cisco 2621 Router:
2 Fast Ethernet
2 WIC module slots (1 with serial card)
1 AIM module slot
Cisco 1602 Router:
1 Ethernet
1 Serial
NAT:
This assumes that the 2621 is using FastEthernet 0/0 to the cablemodem =
and FastEthernet 0/1 to your inside network with Serial 0 going to the =
1602 with another Ethernet network behind it.
config terminal
interface FastEthernet 0/0
description Connection to Cable Modem
ip address dhcp
ip nat outside
interface FastEthernet 0/1
description Connection to Inside LAN
ip nat inside
interface Serial 0
description Connection 1602 Router Serial 0
ip nat inside
ip access-list standard ip_nat_range
permit 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
permit 172.16.0.0 255.224.0.0
permit 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0
ip nat inside source list ip_nat_range interface FastEthernet 0/0 =
overload
end
The IP address ranges in that access-list are just my example which =
covers all RFC1918 private IP addresses.
Make sure your routing is good as mentioned in the previous reply.
router rip
version 2
network 10.0.0.0
network 172.16.0.0
network 192.168.0.0
passive-interface FastEthernet 0/0
redistribute connected
Correct routing will make sure the downstream 1602 can connect. Fool =
around with the use of "redistribute connected" and the use of both =
"redistribute static" and making a static default route to the next hop =
router from your ISP.
Example:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 w.x.y.z
