How to configure router

How to configure router


Introduction

This document describes how to use the Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM) in order to set the basic configuration of the router. This includes the configuration of the IP address, default routing, static and dynamic routing , static and dynamic NATing, hostname, banner, secret password, user accounts, and so forth. Cisco SDM allows you to configure your router in all kinds of network environments that includes small office home office (SOHO), branch office (BO), regional office, and central site or Enterprise headquarters using an easy-to-use web-based management interface.

Prerequisites

Requirements

This document assumes that the Cisco router is fully operational and configured to allow the Cisco SDM to make configuration changes.
Note: Refer to Allowing HTTPS Access for SDM in order to allow the router to be configured by the SDM.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
  • Cisco 3640 Router with Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.4(8)
  • Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM) Version 2.3.1
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

Refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.

    /image/gif/paws/71305/basic-router-config-sdm-4.gif
  5. Choose the encapsulation type for the serial interface and click Next.
    /image/gif/paws/71305/basic-router-config-sdm-5.gif
  6. Specify the static IP address with the corresponding subnet mask for the interface and click Next.
    basic-router-config-sdm-6.gif
  7. Configure the default routing with optional parameters such as the next hop IP address (192.168.1.2 as per network diagram) supplied by the ISP and click Next.
    /image/gif/paws/71305/basic-router-config-sdm-7.gif
    This window appears and shows the configuration summary configured by the user. Click Finish.
    basic-router-config-sdm-8.gif
    This window appears and shows the command delivery status to the router. Otherwise, it displays errors if the command delivery fails due to incompatible commands or unsupported features.
    /image/gif/paws/71305/basic-router-config-sdm-9.gif
  8. Choose Configure > Interfaces and Connections > Edit Interfaces/Connections in order to add/edit/delete the various interfaces.
    /image/gif/paws/71305/basic-router-config-sdm-10.gif
    Highlight the interface with which you want to make changes and click Edit if you want to edit or change the interface configuration. Here you can change the existing static IP address.
    basic-router-config-sdm-11.gif

NAT Configuration

Dynamic NAT Configuration

Complete these steps in order to configure the dynamic NAT in a Cisco router.
  1. Choose Configure > NAT > Basic NAT and click Launch the selected task in order to configure basic NATing.
    /image/gif/paws/71305/basic-router-config-sdm-rev1.gif
  2. Click Next.
    basic-router-config-sdm-rev2.gif
  3. Choose the interface that connects to the Internet or your ISP and choose the IP address range to which Internet access is to be shared.
    /image/gif/paws/71305/basic-router-config-sdm-rev3.gif
  4. This window appears and shows the configuration summary configured by the user. Click Finish.
    basic-router-config-sdm-rev4.gif
  5. The Edit NAT Configuration window shows the configured dynamic NAT configuration with the translated IP address overloaded (PATing). If you want to configure the dynamic NATing with address pool, click Address Pool.
    basic-router-config-sdm-rev6.gif
  6. Click Add.
    basic-router-config-sdm-rev7.gif
    Here informations such as the pool name and IP address range with netmask are provided. There can be times when most of the addresses in the pool have been assigned, and the IP address pool is nearly depleted. When this occurs, PAT can be used with a single IP address in order to satisfy additional requests for IP addresses. Check Port Address Translation (PAT) if you want the router to use PAT when the address pool is close to depletion.
    basic-router-config-sdm-rev8.gif
  7. Click Add.
    basic-router-config-sdm-rev9.gif
  8. Click Edit.
    basic-router-config-sdm-rev10.gif
  9. Choose Address Pool in the Type field, provide the name to the Address Pool as pool1 and click OK.
    basic-router-config-sdm-rev11.gif
  10. This window shows the configuration for dynamic NATing with the address pool. Click Designate NAT Interfaces.
    /image/gif/paws/71305/basic-router-config-sdm-rev12.gif
    Use this window in order to designate the inside and outside interfaces that you want to use in NAT translations. NAT uses the inside and outside designations when it interprets translation rules, because translations are performed from inside to outside, or from outside to inside.
    Once designated, these interfaces are used in all NAT translation rules. The designated interfaces appear above the Translation Rules list in the main NAT window.

Static NAT Configuration

Complete these steps in order to configure static NAT in a Cisco router.
  1. Choose Configure > NAT > Edit NAT Configuration and click Add in order to configure static NATing.
    basic-router-config-sdm-rev13.gif
  2. Choose the Direction either from inside to outside or from outside to inside, specify the inside IP address to be translated under Translate from Interface. For the Translate to Interface area select the Type.
    • Choose IP Address if you want the Translate from Address to be translated to an IP address defined in the IP Address field.
    • Choose Interface if you want the Translate from Address to use the address of an interface on the router. The Translate from Address is translated to the IP address assigned to the interface that you specify in the Interface field.
    Check Redirect Port if you want to include port information for the inside device in the translation. This enables you to use the same public IP address for multiple devices, as long as the port specified for each device is different. You must create an entry for each port mapping for this Translated to address. Click TCP if this is a TCP port number and click UDP if it is a UDP port number. In the Original Port field, enter the port number on the inside device. In the Translated Port field, enter the port number that the router is to use for this translation. Refer to the Allowing the Internet to Access Internal Devices section of Configuring Network Address Translation: Getting Started.
    /image/gif/paws/71305/basic-router-config-sdm-new14.gif
    This window shows the static NATing configuration with port redirection enabled.
