Is there documentation on setting the RV042G to Router Mode and what that changes to it's topography? The manual simply tells us to click the button to change the mode?!?!? A 4th grader could figure that out - but what does it do to the unit? Does it basically become a glorified switch with an internet connection? Can the 2nd WAN port be used as a switch node?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have used an RVS4000 v1 for some years now as part of my domestic network. In particular I have an extensive Sonos distributed audio system, and I use the RVS4000's Static IP Mapping feature to assign a fixed IP to each and every Sonos box. It all works perfectly.
However, earlier this year my ISP (Virgin Media) upped my broadband service from 20Mbps to 60Mbps, without extra cost. Very kind of them, excellent! Their new SuperHub was initially installed in its factory default state, mainly because the several technicians who got involved with it's installation did not know how to go about putting it into Stand Alone Cable Modem mode. I did not want to use either its router, switch or wifi access point, preferring instead to stick with my perfectly good Cisco alternative {RVS4000+3xWAP4410Ns}.
After they gave up, I successfully altered the firmware revision and box settings to put it to SACM mode. But first I checked its speed. As supplied, it came in at about 63Mbps download and 2.8Mbps upload. The same speedtest.net test once set as SACM, and connected to my RVS4000 got just around 21Mbps download, 2.8Mbps upload. Disable the RVS4000 Intruder Protection System (IPS) and throughput matches the SuperHub on its own, 67Mbps down, 2.8Mbps up.
My conclusions...
1) The upload speed is virtually a constant irrespective of my equipment configuration, and will be ignored for the rest of this post.
2) Because of the need to open every packet for inspection, my RVS4000's processor just cannot handle this amount of data, and effectively is throttling my throughput down to the same rate I was getting before my ISP improved the service. So now I have a 60Mbps service, but unless I disable IPS, cannot actually get the benefit of it. Not good enough!
After lots of reading on the various Cisco sites, I recently purchased a Cisco RV042G router. Its 800Mbps spec suggests throughput will not be an issue. An in fact that is confirmed by running speedtest.net, where results of 62Mbps/2.8Mbps are surprisingly marginally lower than the RVS4000/IPS Disabled, but OK. I now also discover that the RV042G does not have IPS.
My network-savvy colleague said "To be honest IPS is a luxury you don't really need IMHO. You must be in a tiny minority in terms of home users with such a feature. It's such a drain on resources because it's examining the contents of every packet to see whether it recognises an attack signature. Standard residential gateway routers don't do it. They have a regular NAT function, which automatically blocks any unsolicited inbound connections, and a firewall to keep out any broadcast traffic."
Given his comment, and my experience with the two routers, I am on the verge of returning the RV042G for a refund as it seems to be adding nothing new that I need. But first I would like to hear the considered opinions of the community users:-
1) Simply put, should I just stick with my RVS4000 and run it with IPS off, as I have it set now?
2) How important is IPS in a domestic setting?
3) Is there another similar Small Business product that I should be looking at? I do not particularly want a router with integral wifi, but I could consider replacing both the RVS4000 and the adjacent WAP4410N with a suitable all-in-one.
I am running out of time to send the RV042G back to my supplier.
I'm working withbusiness set up a remote office, currently with about 45 PC's that could grow in the future. They are looking at a RV042G or (for long term future growth) a ISA570.They want to be able to do content filtering by category, ie restrict gambling, drugs, etc. sites rather than by URL or addresses.Is either the RV042G or the ISA570 capable of doing this?Are both routers to be available long term? ie, they are not on any end-of lists? I've looked and did not see them on any.Is the RV042G capable of handling an office even starting with 45 PC's? If not, is the 570 a good fit?

ISP provide two set Public IP Address , one modem

set two) 200.200.2.2-6, gateway 200.200.2.1

All computers and servers (one-to-one NAT) outbound and inbound all work fine. After several hours, only the servers (one-to-one NAT) alert internet connection broken, but the computers (non NAT) still have internet connection.
What's the problem occurs? Why only one-to-one NAT servers lost the connection? and Why only serveral hours later, the server lost the internet connection.
If I changed the WAN setting to same as subnet of the one-to-one NAT, it doesn't occur any problem.
I run my business network on the 192.168.x.x range with a server set as 192.168.2.4 statically. The router is currently connecetd to two DCHP wan connections from my ISP, I'm on a residential consumer plan. It has defaulted to loadblanacing with the second WAN however I want to have the second wan's public IP be used by my server and only the server however I wish for the server to still be on the lan so I can use HYPER-V's brided network connection feature to run VMs on the lan, and I would like their wan connection to be from wan 1... as for the entire lan except the server at 192.168.2.4 Is this possible, I can't seem to get the 1-to-1 NAT to do it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with routing public IPs on the RV042G. I have been able to route the IP's in a couple of different ways, but there is always a nagging problem.
I have a PPPoE Business Class account with 5 routable public IP's. I would like to route the IPs and manage the private network using the RV042G.
Here is what I have tried and the problem that arose: 1) I used 1:1 NAT and the servers responded with no issue. This would be a workable config however I use Kerberos for single sign-on for my clients. To use this security protocol and bind the clients to the server, I must use a public IP on the server machines. In this scenario however, everything else worked fine. 2) I then tried using the DMZ and putting the servers on the DMZ port with a public IP entered in the network config of the machine. That even worked fine and I was excited until I noticed that the servers were reporting the public IP assigned to the DMZ port as their IP when they sent mail. I then ran a test and that is the case. The servers - each with a public IP - are reporting the IP of the DMZ port. I can't have that because the mail servers need to announce a correct IP so the reverse lookup will match. Once again, a little gnat gets in the soup.

Recently setting up a RV042G for my SOHO. Everything seems to be fine except for SSL port forwarding. I know the router's external static IP is reachable because I test it out with remote management functionality from an external IP. Port forwarding also works correctly because I have other behind the router servers in both UDP and TCP working flawlessly. PPTP VPN also works corrrectly. What I can't get it to run is an Apache server. Looks to me RV042G kind of drop all SSL or HTTP ports from the WAN side.
Configuration:
- 4 port forward rule under "Setup/forwarding" for 80/8080/443 and 8443 all to the webserver with a static IP.
- Firewall page I have Firewall, SPI, DoS enabled.
- Added a firewall rules to allow all HTTP and HTTPS traffic from WAN1 to the webserver static IP.
- Toggle Block WAN Request, HTTPS and multicast does not affect the result.
- Toggle and mapping the remote management port to other port beside 443 does not affect the result.
The same setup will works corretly under my old Netgear FVS router. Am I missing something in RV042G setup?
I just got the RV042G today. I found the router can only accept 100000 Kbit/sec as bandwith, which is 100Mps only. According to the specification, it should have 1000Mps WAN. I have a internet link of 1000Mps, which is now limited by this router.
View 30 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make an attached topology. This router should be attached to 2 different ISPs on both WAN interfaces (ISP1 with IP address - A.B.C.D, and ISP2 with IP W.X.Y.Z) and I want to use DMZ, too. My idea is to make a L2/L3 segmentation with 2 VLANs - Vlan RED for DMZ (private network 192.168.1.0/24) and vlan BLUE for Internal network (network 192.168.2.0/24). I checked in the manual that vlans are supported, but I can't see anything about 802.1q, can I use one trunk port or I should use 2 physical cables?
There should be inter-vlan routing and basic stateful firewall, so PCs in Vlan Blue should be able to initiate connections to DMZ servers, but the opposite should be denied. Router should make a port forwarding on its both WAN interfaces and forward incomming traffic (from Internet) to DMZ servers (with NAT). Both DMZ servers and internal PCs should have an internet access with NAT over both WAN uplinks.
Can I use RV042G for this setup and if not at all - are there any cisco SMB device which can do this?

I'm about to upgrading our RV042 to RV042G since everything in the Network ist ready for Gigabit except the RV042
I think it's important to mention that another RV042, which is at a 2nd location, will remain for the VPN connection between the two locations. (Older Hardware are used at the 2nd location).
My Question is, are there any known issues, which should be cleared before changing the router.
Mainly issues with configuration migration and compatibility between RV042 and RV042G VPN connections.
I'm trying to set up a single web server in a DMZ using the RV042G and the docs seem woefully inadequate to explain how this is accomplished.
I've attach a picture of my setup..
I'm assigned a single Public IP.. in the example I've used 172.16.5.22 and so I've set the WAN interface for static IP.
The DMZ port is not obvious how to set up.. So I've chosen to define a private subnet and throw the web server in there. As I activate the DMZ, I specify a "subnet" and its address as 10.10.10.1, which I'm assuming goes to the DMZ/WAN port. I assign my webserver the address 10.10.10.3.
I leave the Access rules in their default condition.
I am a little unsure as to how to setup the static IP info for the web server.
Gateway: 10.10.10.1 ?
DNS: 10.10.10.1? or 172.16.5.1?
Problem #1
=========
My first problem is that the webserver cannot access the Internet. I get a timeout when I open the browser. I've tried every address there as the gateway and DNS..
Problem #2
========
If a person on the WAN side is attempting to connect to 172.16.5.22:80, how does the RV042G know to send it to the 10.10.10.3 device? It doesn't know what address the webserver is assigned; I just gave it a 10.10.10.1 address as the subnet address.
I think I'm missing something, conceptually here.
Can, in fact, you use the RV042G in this fashion with only a single public IP address? There is almost no information on how the router actually routes traffic when you choose either 'subnet' or 'range' (where the DMZ is in the same subnet as the WAN)
