FRAME RELAY AND DSL

[SP7128]

i have a frame relay setup in my company ...using a cisco 1700....the question i have is how do i get my dsl hooked to this system ...so the computers on the network can also have dsl/internet capabilities........thanks sp7128

Connect the DSL Router to the LAN (preferably via a FireWall!), just like your existing Cisco 1700 is currently connected.

Create a Static Route on your Cisco 1700 to push all data that doesn't have a route in the routing table to go to the IP Address of the DSL Router (...or FireWall). The command would be...

IP ROUTE 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <IP ADDR of ROUTER or FIREWALL> 1

Good Luck.

salserocito,
could you give me some info on ...how to create a static route on the cisco 1700

thanks sp7128

i hook 1700 to pc and go into hyperterm and perform the following :

Step 1 Connect a console or a PC running terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal, to the router. If you need instructions for connecting to the console port of the router, refer to the installation chapter of your router installation and configuration guide.

Step 2 Power on the router. If the startup configuration is valid, the EXEC prompt (Router>) appears. If the startup configuration is not valid, the router attempts to run Auto Install, and the following prompt appears:

Would you like to enter the initial dialog? [yes]:


Step 3 Enter no and press Enter to display the EXEC prompt.

Step 4 Enter enable and the password (if any) to enter enable mode. The prompt changes to the privileged mode prompt (Router#). Configuration changes can be made only in enable mode.

Step 5 Enter config terminal to enter configuration mode:

Router#config terminal

Router(config)#

The router enters global configuration mode, shown by the Router(config)# prompt.

If you want to change the router configuration, you can configure global parameters, passwords, network management, and routing protocols. For complete information about global configuration commands, refer to the IOS configuration guides and command references.

Step 6 Select the Ethernet interface to configure.

::::from here i ???????????

create the &quot;static route&quot; by performing which steps?????

 

[salserocito]

When you are in CONFIG TERMINAL mode, to create a static route, use the following syntax...

IP ROUTE <IP SUBNET> <SUBNET MASK> <NEXT HOP> <METRIC>

example...
IP ROUTE 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.200.1 1

192.168.100.0 = The IP Subnet you want to route to.
255.255.255.0 = The Subnet Mask of the IP Subnet
192.168.200.1 = IP Address of the Next Hop
1 = Metric

Hope this helps!

Good luck!

I have connected the netopia DSL router into the LAN via straight thru cat5, like the 1700 is connected , but i get no link light, so i setup my pc's IE to have the correct profile for DSL and plugged the exact same end of the CAT5 wire that was in the LAN into the nic card in the back of the pc, this nic card was connected to the LAN until i unplugged it, and i can get full DSL internet access, so i plugged the LAN back into the nic card ...then plugged the DSL back into the LAN and i still cannot get a link light or access the net thru my pc, and the pc is still setup with the DSL profile ........a) am i supposed to have a link light when plugging the DSL into the LAN,the cisco 1700 connection does have a link light b) do i need a crossover wire to connect the DSL to the LAN , c) am i totally wrong in my configuration of the DSL to LAN with the frame relay connection ?

i will try the cisco config as soon as i get the DSL recognized on the LAN.

thanks again ,

UPDATE.................

ok i have the netopia/DSL recognized on the LAN....and i can access the DSL when i have ie setup to the DSL config...my frame relay runs on DHCP , so now i guess my next step is to configure the cisco 1700, as stated in above post , and then i will prob need to run some configs on the netopia so that all 14 of my systems on the LAN can access the DSL and the relay...........sound correct ..............thanks for the help ...i'm alot closer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are alot closer...

Add the default route stated above to the Cisco 1700. Make sure that the next hop of the Default Route is the IP Address of the Ethernet Port of your Netopia.

Good Luck!
