Ive bought a Cisco 877-k modem/router
when I plug it in it looks to be working ok.... but then after about 5 seconds it disconnects the lan ports (laptop reports cable unplugged) and the CD light starts to flash
then... i cant do anything ? non of the lan ports work, and the cd light just keeps flashing?
any ideas ?
Im googling.... but its slow going !
EDIT:
when i turn it on, all the lights come on for a second then go off
then the lan0 and the ok light are on (laptop is plugged into lan0)
short delay
then the lan0 light goes off
then the cd light comes on, flashes 4 times slowly, then flashes fast...... do the 4 slow flashes point to anything ?
found this too, for once I get going BE unlimited cisco 877 setup (http://www.seba-online.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49:cisco-and-be&catid=35:cisco&Itemid=59)
Give it more time.
IIRC, the initial connection over lan is looking for a TFTP server, but normally ciscos take a while to boot.

gave it a good 10min last night and it made no difference :(
its not plugged into the telephone line right now (sitting on my desk connected up to an old laptop) - that won;t make any difference right ?
tried it last night plugged into the phone line but it was just the same - tho Im not sure how long I left it... probably a couple of min? should be plenty ?
edit: its cycling through 5 slow flashes, then lots of fast flashes, after the 5 slow ones it either picks up the phone line or puts it down, (I can hear it click)
anyone know if the console port might give me access to sort it out ? - Ive got a cable for it but it goes to a serial connector and I dont have anything with serial ports.... but could get an adaptor cheap on ebay
bump, wheres marc when you need him ?
he better not have crashed the MR2 and died leaving me with a router I have no idea how to access !
:p
bought a serial connector but its no good, so order another !
and Ive downloaded the config Ill need for Be (the isp) so should get sorted pretty quick when the new usb-serial adaptor arrives !
is it new?
out of the box there is a dhcp server enabled, plug into one of the layer 2 ports
A console cable should have come with it.
Are you using it as assigned ip or static IP and Ill do you a basic config to get you up and running
interfaces atm0, dialer0 will be shut by default as well so no point plugging phone in yet!
brand new out of the box,
had to wait for the new usb to serial adapter to arrive)
on boot up I get.... (connected via console cable)

--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
I can start setting things up, and set passwords etc.... but am a bit worried Ill make a mess of it so Ill look for an idiots guide first ?
ip is dynamic / assigned by isp
I found this LINK (http://www.seba-online.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49:cisco-and-be&catid=35:cisco&Itemid=59) which should be all the settings needed to connect to the be isp (I hope?)
erm.... Ill wait till you post back before I do anything :-)
you dont need to go through the initial config dialogue, if you want to set it up via the web interface its simple to assign an IP to the vlan associated with the layer-2 ports on the rear and turn on http server
do this to enable this:
(from console)
>en
#conf t
int vlan1
ip address (address) (mask)
no shut
ip http server
Then you can http: to the config.
It is messy though - as in it makes a mess of the config if you do too much.
Ill just do you up a quick normal config as well when I get a second, its simple.
cool, Ill hang on and wait for the normal config ? (if thats best?)
p.s. thanks for all the help :-)
bump :p
Im scared to do anything without your say first incase I make a mess of it..... Ive googled but its a bit of a mine field Lo
Just looked be up and its not PPPoAm so as in that example, you dont configure a dialer interface like you would normally.
That config should be ok, except for the WAN ip address you need to put
ip address negotiated
But - do you have a default gateway from Be to be able to add it in as your 0.0.0.0 route?
If not Ill need to do it differently.
I have no idea....
Ive never looked into this kind of thing other than a quick google when Im setting up a router
cisco is a hell of a step up from the usual stuff Im used too.... Ive set up plenty of routers over the years, but most have been pretty straight forwards / intruative..... but this cisco stuff is gibberish to me :s
EDIT: a search for default gateway in the support section of the be site doesnt find anything, so I guess not ?
ok
use that config, but change the ip address part to ip address negotiated as above
and for default (0.0.0.0) route put
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.0 int ATM0.1
That will throw all the traffic out the atm interface
erm.... do you know where theres an idiots guide ? Ive looked all over the place but cant find one
Ive tried to enter the configure from the site linked above.... but I keep getting error messages ?
(% Invalid input detected at ^ marker.)
even when Im sure Ive typed exactly what the site tells me to type ? Im guessing theres something Im not doing that people who know what theyre doing do without thinking...but I know nothing about
(like when I told someone to clock users in the control panel.... and they thought the control panel was the bit on the front of the case with the start/reset buttons and the usb ports etc..)
Ive got the lan ports working with what you told me above, but I still cant access it via web browser, I do just stick 192.168.0.1 in the address bar like with other routers right? (thats the ip I gave it)

ok... Im doing a bit better now, I didnt enter into config mode before, have done now
but when I try "ip address negotiated"
I get

am I in the right config bit here ?

and I tried a couple of things at the end there, but didnt get anywhere
I guess I must be on the wrong menu section ?
thats my fault as thats a dialer command. Ill sort it out when Im in this evening.
;)
Of all Marks suggestions this is clearly the most ludicrous I think.

looks like some of the stuff I did didnt stick ? do i have to use some sort of save command ?
I still can;t get the lan ports to work, i have a light on the front of the router for the rj45 port the cable running to my switch is plugged into, (putting the cable in/out makes it go on/off) but I cant connect to it (192.168.0.1) ?
also, i read that i should be running the latest version of the firmware (or wherever its called on these) on the router (iso file?) to make sure it works with adsl2+.... any idea if mine is new/old ?
if there a way i can get a config file, and transfer it over to the router in one go ? I think that would be better than my trying to it in hyper terminal!
when youve done your config you need to issue a
write mem
or
copy run start
so the config is saved to NVRAM
If you cant connect to the management address, chances are the port or vlan is shut
so a sh ip int brief
from the # prompt and it will list all interfaces and their status. administratively down means you need to issue a
no shut
to it.
to get the IOS version, do a sh ver at the # prompt
As long as its later than 12.4 5 T5 itll be fine.
Im going to try a be unlimted config out with negotiated IP at a mates this afternoon so well have you going soon
Booting flash:/c870-advsecurityk9-mz.124-15.T9.bin
guess Im fine on the iso version then ?
I got all the lan ports up and running, and assigned an ip address to the vlan, but still cant connect ?

Ill hang on and see what you find out at your mates :-)
bump.... I dont want to pester you.... but this needs a bump so you dont miss it ;)
woops! Sorry I never got back to you.
I didnt get to test this out yet, but I WILL tomorrow - sorry! Had a bit of a hectic week.
no worries, and thanks for the update :)
Just wait until you get his bill ;)
