Cisco 831 no vlan tagging

Hi,

Just grabbed a cheap 831 from ebay, and I just realized that there's no such thing as vlan in it. Checked the feature navigate but it seems that I'm doomed. So basically I can throw this out of the window if I want vlan?

Yea, pretty much. They're EOL'ed, so its pretty much WYSIWYG at this point with those.

However, I see that they're going for $20 and they can run IOS 12.4 IP/FW/PLUS 3DES and they support SDM. It's definitely something I'll be keeping in mind when I move on to CCNA:Security since I don't have any SDM capable routers right now.

Ok thanks, just PM one you get there.

1 more thing, has anyone know what can be the problem with the following config? I'm trying to setup my 831 through a cable modem but it doesn't want to work. Maybe I'm just tired and need to look into this tomorrow :P

Your config looks ok. Are you not able to pull a DHCP request? Does the interface come up when you plug it in?

Remember you gotta unplug your modem for about 30 seconds before you plug a new device into it, so it clears it's MAC association.

The interfaces are working with up and up, so I believe there's something wrong with that dhcp and I've just reseted the modem but same issue.

burbankmarc

weird, maybe it doesn't like your client id, remove that and just use the generic. if all else fails you can always call your ISP, sometimes they have to manually clear the MAC association

thanks its working now, I just had to reboot the modem once again (hurray)

Is that normal if I see 4 fa ports and 2 eth ports in the cli, while there's only 1 eth? Maybe some ios glitch?

One may be the internal interface connecting the router and switch.

Wich interface do you mean by that?

One of the two eth ports.

Sorry I feel a little bit confused here.

Cisco 830 Series Secure Broadband Routers [Cisco 800 Series Routers] - Cisco Systems

There's 1 console 1 ethernet and 4 fasthernet

and I'm wondering why does it show 2 ethernet in the int brief?

tiersten

It is what alan2308 said.

Ethernet0 is the LAN side of the router and it is internally connected to the 4 port Fast Ethernet switch. The switch in a 831 is a basic managed switch which only allows you to set speed and duplex.
Ethernet1 is the WAN side of the router.

alan2308

Let me try to expand a little bit more Akiii.

There are two separate devices in the Cisco 831, a router and a switch. They just happen to be shoved into the same physical box. These two devices are connected by an Ethernet interface. It's all internal, so you don't see an additional physical RJ-45 connector for this interface. Here's a quick drawing, maybe it'll help. The FastEthernet interfaces are numbered wrong, but you get the idea.

tiersten

I'm in awe of your drawing! But yeah. Thats much better than a text only explanation

Akiii

ok thanks guys finally got it
