Cisco Routers :: WAN / ISP Configuration - RV220w Versus 2951-SEC/K9
Sep 26, 2011
We are planning on testing a new ISP provider in our company but we have the following doubt: This new provider is using a Optical Fiber line (GPON – PT Prime) for this new internet connection and we already have a Cisco RV220W router but they are not sure if that can be used, so they just informed that they a capable router is the Cisco 2951-SEC/K9, that they are selling of course. So our actual doubt is if the Cisco 2951-SEC/K9 can have some “extra” WAN configurations/authentications that are not available in our Cisco RV220W and that can implicate that we cannot use our RV220w router?
We have a new optical fiber connection from a new ISP (only for Internet) and we found that our Cisco router RV220w won't work with this new connection because is not possible to add the V LAN ID 20 for the WAN traffic, as required by our ISP/connection. Now we would like to know what Cisco routers can support this feature and that can be "similar" to the RV220w or if there is another way to solve this problem and maintain our actual RV220w, because the features on this particular router (apart of the V LAN ID on Wan) are more than enough for us -
We would like to have a “simple” router and with firewall and VPN features as RV220w, because the one that our provider says that works seems to be too much for us Cisco 2951-SEC K9 – We are a small company with a network of around 10 computers and we only need some VPN connections for our sales companies in Europe and workers when traveling (3-5 VPN connections are OK).
With firmware 1.0.4.17 I am have issues with configuration pages not loading and needing to restart the web interface and login again. This is a new problem that started after updating to 1.0.4.17
I am trying to configure this router to obtain an IPv6 address from my ISP who offers a dual stack IPv4/IPv6 DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation service.
I did a WAN packet capture to see the type of DHCPv6 packets the router sends to the ISP in order to obtain an IPv6 address and I saw that the router is sending DHCPv6 solicitation packets of type IA_NA i.e. for Identity Association for Non-temporary Address. However, most ISPs that offer a dual stack IP4/IPv6 service, they use DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation in which case the router is expected to send DHCPv6 solicitation packets of type IA_PD i.e. for Identity Association for Prefix Delegation.
I then downloaded its configuration file and saw the following:
So, the option for the DHCPv6 client to perform a prefixDelegation request is disabled. Does that mean that if I set this flag to "1" it is going to work? Well, I edited the configuration file and changed this flag but the router refuses to load it! It complains about the file being changed. How does it know that? Is it computing some type of checksum? How can I manually edit this flag and update the router's configuration?
We have an old 3725 router with a HSSI card connected to a DL3100, which in turn is connected to a subrate DS3 circuit. The plan is to replace the router with a new 2951 router and a NM-T3/E3 card.After the router was replaced, I configured the NM but the circuit remained dow/down. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that the DS3 circuit is channelized but I'm not sure how to configure this module to be channalized. Here is the configuration that I placed on the router: [code]
I have one of my customer have cisco 2951 Router with two ISP and two ADSL module .i already configure one ADSL module.rit now customer want secondISP ( ADSL) module configuration separate netwok because customer have Access pont they want connect directly to router is it possible
1st ISP already running but customer requirement 2nd ISP superate network with Access pont not redundancy
I am using a Cisco E4200 router today but I am moving to a ASA5505. I have a device that sets up a VPN tunnel that I want to put in my DMZ. It's called the ATT Gateway. I have attached the diagram. When I use a Cisco E4200 all I do is put the outside private ip address of 192.168.0.99 of the ATT Gateway into the DMZ of the E4200 and the VPN tunnel of the ATT Gateway comes right up. I cannot configure the DMZ to do the same with the ASA. I also need to have the laptop behind the gateway access the printers in the inside network.
I am looking to setup a solution for backing up a Metro Ethernet connection on a 2951 using an 1841 and 2 T1's in a Multilink. The Metro E will be primary, and if the BGP peer goes down, I want it to switchover to the 1841. Can it be done and is there an example of the BGP setup to work off of?
We are a medium-large sized company with approx.100 offices located across North America. Every single office connects to each other and the data center via a DMVPN overlay network. The DMVPN hub router (Cisco 2951), R-Q9-1, is located at our data center and is the "workhorse" of the company. We also have a redundant hub router, R-Q9-2, at the data center with exact same hardware specs.
Each office builds an EIGRP Tunnel0 and Tunnel1 to R-Q9-1 and R-Q9-2 respectively. All data traffic flows over Tunnel0 to R-Q9-1 until it fails, at which point traffic starts to flow over Tunnel1 to R-Q9-2. This has been working seamlessly for last 1 year of implementing this design, until yesterday, when both R-Q9-1 and R-Q9-2 rebooted all of a sudden at the same time right in the middle of a production day. I confirmed there was no power failure at the data center. A show version of both routers gives me this:
R-Q9-1 uptime is 1 day, 1 hour, 24 minutes System returned to ROM by address error at PC 0x5C92E28, address 0x5DF36FE9 at 11:52:23 EDT Tue Sep 21 2010 System image file is "flash0:c2951-universalk9-mz.SPA.150-1.M3.bin" Last reload type: Normal Reload [code]...
I Google that error but can't find anything specific other than it's saying it's some kind of bus error. What I also found a bit off is the time it's showing on both routers' show version output (Sep 21, 2010 and Jan 10, 2012). Here are the current clock settings on both routers at the time of this writing.
R-Q9-1#sh clock *16:53:31.216 EDT Wed Oct 31 2012 R-Q9-2#sh clock *16:59:44.220 EDT Wed Oct 31 2012
I checked my Syslog server and did not find anything specific during the time of the crash, however, syslog was filled with errors similar to this one
2469: * Tunnel0: NHRP Encap Error for Resolution Request , Reason: protocol generic error (7) on (Tunnel: 10.10.200.1 NBMA: IP address ommitted) [code]...
I have never seen these errors before and all of a sudden they seem to have stopped since this morning.
Any difference between G and N routers? Also, can you use either one? I currently have a wireless G. I have added A few wi-fi devices in the last couple of weeks I.E. Smart T.V., I-phone, I pad, and Satellite TV ( the on demand comes from the internet). My internet on my laptop seems to have really slowed down, and I it keeps locking up. I have to go reset the modem, and router to get it working again. Could all these wireless devices being on at the same time be dragging down my speed?
My company is doing an nationwide upgrade of it's leased 2951 routers. For security sake I need to wipe everyone of them before being sending them back to the leasing company. I would like to somehow boot to a USB drive and call it a day.
I have a RV042 router setup with Client to gateway VPN access, and am connecting with a W7 PC running QuickVPN. We have many PC's that already have the standard CiscoVPN client on them, is it possible to configure the RV042 to allow these clients to conenct? I'm not sure how to get the Mutual authentication to work, or how to import the PEM certificiate into that client. It seems to allow it to import, but I can never select it.
We have 2 dsl lines coming in and the modem is in bridge mode while the router handles the pppoe information. Each line is 6mb down and .5 mb up. It's ****, yes I know, but this is pretty decent for a small town in the country. To double our bandwidth, I put it in load balance mode. When load balance, I get anywhere from 9-12 down and .8 up. Here's where it gets tricky.
When anything is uploaded, the speed drops from 9-12 down and .8 up to about .2-.7 down and .2 up. I realize that we will lose some down and up speed but I wouldn't think it would be this drastic. Is this normal?When they upload to a specific https site (file is about 50mb), it never initiates the upload. If I switch it to Link Backup, it will upload fine. I still lose the speed but at least it does something. I've read that some https sites have issues with grabbing data from multiple IP's so I figured this is the case since it's a medical site that was probably developed in house. Is this true?Does protocol binding work in Load Balance mode? I binded all http and https traffic through WAN 2 interface however, when I do a speed test or check my external IP, it is not indicating the WAN 2 IP address. Is this a common issue in rv042's or is there a firmware update that solves all these issues?
what exactly is QuickVPN?Is it a IPSec VPN?Is it a PPTP?Is it a SSLVPN?can I resolve my local hostnames? That means, can I configure a lokal DNS Server?
I am trying to setup and configure a VPN on the RV220W that uses IPSEC so I can use the Cisco VPN Client I use at work, I have gone through the user manual 11 or 12 times now but still cannot work it out. I cannot find where on the Rv200W iset up the phase 1 authentication username and password which will then lead me onto the phase 2 stage of asking for a username password to allow me access.
Picked up a pair of RV220W's for a project I'm working on. I have several IP's available, 4 of which are assigned to/in use by a server behind the RV220W. All 4 of these IP's are static external IPs. How I can configure the RV220W so that requests to those 4 IP's get routed to the server.
Prior to purchasing this, I was under the impression what I was trying to do was called one-to-one NAT, but after reading the 'Help' document on the one-to-one NAT page, I don't think this is right. Emphasis added below: Cisco RV220W Wireless-N Network Security Firewall Help FirewallOne-to-One NATOne-to-one NAT is a way to make systems behind a firewall and configured with private IP addresses appear to have public IP addresses.One-to-One-NAT Rule TableThis table lists the list of available One-To-One NAT rules configured by the user. Private Range Begin: start ip address in private (LAN) ip addressPublic Range Begin: start ip address in the public ip address (WAN IP), Public IP Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask of the public IPRange Length: Range length maps one to one private address to public address up to the given range.Service: This column shows service to be accepted by LAN Host.The actions that can be taken on One-to-One-NAT rules are:(Check Box At First Column Header): Selects all the entries in the table.Add: Opens the One-To-One NAT Configuration page, to add a new entry. Edit: Opens the One-To-One NAT Configuration page, to edit the selected entry.Delete: Deletes the selected entries.
So according to their documentation, the server in question would need to be configured with a private IP. Unfortunately, one of the applications I use is licensed via IP address and my understanding is that I cannot use the software with private/non-routable IP addresses.
Is the RV220W capable of not only securing the line (firewall, access rules, content filtering, port trigering & forwarding etc) but also doing what I was hoping to do (keeping the external IP's on the server, and routing appropriately)?
I'm using a RV220W router, and recently got shifted to a dynamic IP solution.Now, I've got a no-ip.org address, but the update service seems to be on no-ip.com. So, I try to enter mydomain.no-ip.org OR mydomain.no-ip.com in the dynamic dns settings, under Host and Domain Name, but when saving the settings it says
'The hostname specified does not exist in this user account' ,which seems to indicate that it manages to login to the update service but gets a negative reply.Is it possible to use the RV220W with no-ip.org/com?
We have 2 sites connected thru 2 RV220W routers via VPN and most things are working fine. I have noticed however, that any device that has a web interface, i.e. our Sharp Copier and our Freenas server, is inaccessible. The page tries to come up but then I get the Cisco "server is down" page generated by the RV220W.
I can pull up the web interface pages if I use a machine on the local LAN but not on any machine across the VPN. The only commonality I can think of is the RV220W blocking that traffic for some reason..
Is there anyway to associate a name to an IP in the RV220W? I am coming from a WRVS4400N v2. Folks are complaining that they can't connect, for example via Real VNC, via the PC name any longer. They have to use the IP address. In the past I put the names of the PCs in the WRVS4400N when I reserved IPs via MAC addresses (some call this assigning static IPs). There isn't any place in the RV220W to put the name. Even when I look at the DHCP list a lot of them show up as "unknown". I am sure this is a NETBIOS thing but I'd rather fix this in the router as I have always done in the past.
i have a RV220W and absolutely nothings functional on this stupid Router, no NAT , no Port Forwarding and I cant access my Network from Outside. Any firmware link for downloading. This address works, its handling special webrequest.
I set up a PPTP VPN with an RV220W recently. It was working flawlessly until a recent power outage and now users are getting the 807 error when attempting to connect. I have PPTP passthrough enabled and TCP/UDP 1723 open. As far as I can tell GRE 47 is open as well. Why it was working and is not working after a power outage?
Having a strange problem that just started this week and got worse this evening. I have a RV220W that is feeding my network. The RV220W sits behind a broadband modem and acts as the DHCP for the network and those computers access the internet that way. Anyway, tonight started an issue where the the RV220W just disappears. Becomes unpingable. I recycle power, and within anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, it's gone. No longer pingable. Even if I plug a latop directly into it.If I power cycle the RV220W it comes back and I can ping it and access it and its settings. 5 to 10 mins later, I again lose it. Nothing was done. Its been working fine for a few weeks. Had a similar outage last Tuesday, but a recycle of everything brought everything back into line. After I lose connection to it, the lights I expect to be lit remain lit.
Nothing happens when clicking the SAVE button after making changes on the VLAN Membership screen when using IE9, but it work fine with IE8. Any problems using IE9 during configuration?
When someone downloads a file, or similar, there seems to be no, or very little, room for other requests. I've even tried to be the only one on the network, start a download (from ex. Intel) and then tries to access a simple website, almost only text, and its extreemly slow. I hav ethe latest firmware, a windows domain network and the routers is not acting as dhcp server.
I'm an IT professional with more than 10 years experience. I have spent last 5 days trying to figure out why the wifi connection to this router is so slow, but still no luck. I'm getting only 13Mbps even if my laptop is next to the router! (wired connection worked ok)
I have tried all sort of setting combinations, 2.4GHz/5GHz; N only/ G,N Mixed; Auto/20MHz bandwidth; different channels; WPA2 encrypted vs open; disable firewall; wmm enabled/disabled; 1.0.0.26/1.0.1.0 firmware... no matter what I try, I always get only 10 - 15Mbps speed.
Once I replace this router with my old router, it worked perfectly --- getting 70 - 80Mbps with exactly the same testing environment and configuration.
I really expect this router to offer much faster wireless speed according to this review: [URL]
I'm using a RV220W in my home office. Before this router I was. using a Sitecom router which did not cause any problems. I have setup a home network. The RV220W connects to the provider modem. The client components connect to the RV220W. Which acts as DHCP gateway. The DHCP features of the modem are disabled. I have assigned all network client devices to the same workgroup. I have to windows 7 PC's. one of them acts as fileserver. when trying to acces it from the other fixed PC or via a laptop the fileserver is visible but not accessable. I can not open it and access the shared folders.It has worked for a brief moment, but without changing any settings it stop working. I have never had accessability problems with the sitecom router. I have installed the latest firmware and tried rebooting the router several times. I have also started again with the factory defaults.
I have a cisco RV220W router used in a home environment. Recently I purchased a Siemens Gigaset A 580 IP phone. It works OK so far but I would like to optimize the configuration for VoIP traffic and apply QoS for VoIP on this router. Any guide with the recommended configuration and preferred settings of the same? I have not used QoS previously
I have an Cisco RV220W and I can’t connect to web interface. The router is new, I receive the error in Mozilla: Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). I used also Internet Explorer, Chrome , I tried to disable SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0 but the problem persist. The PC obtained IP address from the router, I have ping on it ,also the SSID is up with open network I reset to factory default but the problem persist.
I recently installed a new 220W with the sole intention of setting up the PPTP server. I got the router installed and working but cannot get the PPTP server working. Also when i configure a block of IP address from my lan for the server it tells me i cannot use that subnet? i have set it up this way with other routers ( RV042 ) with no issues.
