Hi folks, I've recently acquired a Cisco 2621xm router. I want to be able to use it to provide internet access to my network through my broadband connection. Is this possible, and if so, how do I go about configuring it?
If you need any more info let me know!
Best regards,
Danny snipped-for-privacy@dannysmith.biz
You want to use ip nat
interface FastEthernet1/0 description Your internet access ip address dhcp < depending on how you get your connection>
ip nat outside
interface FastEthernet1/1 ip address 10.160.0.1 255.255.0.0 ip nat inside
ip nat inside source list 1 interface FastEthernet1/0 overload access-list 1 permit 10.160.0.0 0.0.255.255
Hope that helps, DMc
add to the above a default route
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dhcp
Hi again, Thanks for the information. Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but would you mind going through the process of configuring it from when I log in to the router? I'm very new to Cisco routers etc.
I gave it a shot but to be perfectly honest I don't think I changed anything for the better (or worse!), in fact, I think I had no impact at all! If you, or anybody else, could help I would be truly grateful.
Thanks for your time.

I dont mind at all
enable
conf t ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dhcp exit
wr mem
! to verify the command took:
sh run | inc route
show ip route static
I'm up and running!
Thanks to all who helped, particularly Merv - who has come to my aid many times.
Best regards,
