Establishing Internet Connectivity
Establishing internet connectivity on a CISCO3845-SEC/K9 Cisco 3845 Router Security Bundle involves configuring the router’s WAN interface, DHCP, DNS, firewall, and Network Address Translation (NAT) settings. The process can be broken down into the following steps:
- Configure the WAN interface: This involves assigning the router’s WAN interface an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway provided by the internet service provider (ISP).
- Configure DHCP: DHCP is used to automatically assign IP addresses to devices connected to the router. This ensures that devices on the LAN can communicate with each other and the internet.
- Configure DNS: DNS is used to translate domain names to IP addresses. This allows users to access websites using domain names rather than IP addresses.
- Configure the firewall: The router’s built-in firewall should be configured to block unwanted traffic while allowing internet traffic. This helps to protect the network from potential security threats.
- Configure NAT: NAT allows devices on the LAN to access the internet through the router’s WAN connection. This allows multiple devices to share the same IP address provided by the ISP.
- Configure Remote Management: To manage the router remotely, you need to configure remote management by enabling Telnet or SSH access, and assign IP address and ports to the router.
- Verify connectivity: Verify that the router has internet connectivity by pinging an external IP address or website.
By following these steps, internet connectivity can be established on a CISCO3845-SEC/K9 Cisco 3845 Router Security Bundle, allowing devices connected to the router to access the internet.
