877 LAN issue 7

[silverhairbp]

Just got a 877 off of eBay (which might be part of the problem).

Most of the items were in sealed bags and looked new. Even the faceplate had the plastic film.

I followed the documentation to the letter, cabled the connections to the correct prots and double checked. Powered up the router. Got an OK light and eventually got a Carrier Detect light. I removed the PC ethernet cable from an operational switch and plugged it into FE0. PC indicated that the cable was unplugged and the ethernet light for LAN 0 did not come on. I tried with the other ports with similar results, the PC continued to indicate the cable was unplugged. I changed cables and tried the procedure again. Nothing, even after power cycle. I powered down the router disconnected all the connections, held in the reset button and powered-up the router. I held in the reset button for about 10 seconds while the router was under power. I waited about two minutes then powered down the router and plugged in the connections. Router came up, got OK and carrier detect, but not did not connect through the LAN.

I don't have a PC with a serial port or I would have connected to the console port to get more information.

Did I miss something? Is there something I can do to get the LAN side working so I can complete the set-up?

Or does this particular unit have a dead switch?

Thanks. Added the addresses, but got the same errors. I'm trying to figure out why the router car get an address and receive DSN information (it was getting the DNS info prior to adding the command), but yet can't get to other devices....

Gateway of last resort is not set

70.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 2 subnets
C 70.225.64.224 is directly connected, Dialer0

C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan1
Router#


The Motorola modem that we're using with an 831 (these to be replaced by the 877) earlier provided the following:

Routing Table
Destination Netmask Gateway Interface
- - 70.225.79.254 WAN vcc1


Now the Motorola provides the following:

Routing Table
Destination Netmask Gateway Interface
- - 70.225.95.254 WAN vcc1

among most other addresses that have changed.

Add the following:

Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer0

Thanks to you BOTH. This is being sent across the 877 which is now running. And now that it is running, I can see how it works and ties together, I can back-up the running config, add the basic firewall, take out some code I added that doesn't really need to be there. And if I screw up, I can go back to this config from the back-up.

Beaners silver. And Burt, no extra stars needed my friend, if anyone deserves them it's you since you worked really hard on this issue.
