Got an 806 router with two Ethernet interfaces used for broadband access to the Internet. Ethernet 1 is typically the WAN interface pointing towards the Internet router, while Ethernet 0 is a 4-port hub used for the local LAN.
Everything works properly when the 806 is configured in the conventional way, with WAN pointing toward Internet router. However, I have a VPN appliance (with dual Ethernet ports) that needs to be in parallel to the 806. So I wanted to set-up the 806 with Ethernet 0 (4 port hub) pointing toward the Internet router along with the public side of the VPN applicance while Ethernet 1 of the 806 connected to the corporate LAN switch along with the private side of the VPN. When I turn the 806 around like this, I get an "encapsulation failure" message during debug ip packet when sending data over the Ethernet 0 (4 port hub connected to the Internet router), thus no packets get sent out that Interface. I get this error even after I do erase startup-config, reload and only assign IP addresses to the Ethernet Interfaces. I am not using PPPoe and my encapsulation type shows ARPA when I display a show interface for both Ethernet ports. any thoughts?? dj Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=43813&t=43813 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
