Cisco 3600 series configuration questino

[heatstreak20]

I have a question about configuring a router for a small business. The DHCP is handled on the server, so I should only have to program in a few static routes.
Right now we use a cheap linksys router but it keeps overloading, which is why I am currently trying to configure the 3600 series router.


there are 2 interfaces on the router, ethernet0/0 and ethernet0/1 Do I have to assign an IP address to both interfaces (one for WAN and one for LAN)?

Also, Do I use the same defualt gateway that the linksys router is using (when i go to cmd and type ipconfig is shows the default gateway as 192.168.1.1 but i believe this is a LAN gateway and not the one I need.. or is it)? Then assign the ethernet0/0 ip address to the same IP address as the current linksys router?

Currently there are 4 routes in the linksys routing table so I configured the cisco router to use these same 4 static routes

First off, is this ADSL? If so, is there a MODEM involved?

Right now we are using ADSL with a modem but we have a t1 connection to our other server and router and within a few months we will have business class cable

Correction: I believe the internet is HDSL and yes it does have a modem, but like I said in about 10 months we are moving to a new location which will have business class cable internet.

I have already configured both static DNS ip.

I also configured the static route for the 2 networks to communicate. Our network is SDI and the other network is MEC, the MEC network will continue to use a linksys router until we buy another cisco. The DHCP is handled on the server in both locations.

Here is the static route to connect the 2 networks.
ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.252
with 192.168.3.0/24 being the other network and 192.168.1.252 being the next hop (the gateway I was told to use from the main office) I suppose all traffic from the 2 networks goes through headquarters.

here is the static route from MEC to SDI:
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.252

It makes since that ipconfig said 192.168.1.0 is my gateway, but in the linksys routing table is shows the gateway as 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 63.86.148.201 maybe one is a local gateway and one is a WAN gateway?

Which gateway do I need to use?


Thank you

One last question I forgot to add,

The linksys has a local IP and a WAN IP, would I configure one ethernet interface with a WAN ip and the other with a local IP?

63.86.148.203 255.255.255.0 would be the WAN IP (same as the current linksys router)

and 192.168.1.1 would be the local IP (same as the current linksys router)?

I am currently an intern and this is a great learning experience for me, I appreciate any help given
