DHCP and Routing Question

[Alterac]

Hi there,

I have a Cisco 2611 Router and this line will not work.

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Ethernet0/0
^
Error at ^ Marker.

Cant use the mac address either. I want to be able to use names/mac address because my IP changes about once every 2 months and its a pain to reconfigure every time.

IOS (tm) C2600 Software (C2600-I-M), Version 12.1(2)T

Ideas why?

Thats really odd. the IP ROUTE 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <next-hop> command has been around for ever, I dont see why the router is complaining.

I take it Ethernet0/0 does exist in the router?

 

[Alterac]

Sorry about the wording of the original question, I tried again after reloading the same ios and some other things and the command

Ethernet0/0 exists and gets and ip via dhcp ip = x.x.x.x

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x <- Works

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Ethernet0/0 <- Doesnt Work
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Mac Address of E0/0<- Doesnt Work

and also

ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.0.11 22 interface Ethernet0/0 22 extendable

That doesnt work, I have to specify x.x.x.x instead of interface Ethernet0/0

Id like not to have to put in the ip addresses and such because of the dynamic address my isp gives me.

Is this a fast ethernet interface? Do a show run and use the same terminology for the interface that the system uses.

And uh, x.x.x.x is the next hop address I have to figure out manualy, not the IP assigned to Eth0

Its a 2611 router, duel regular ethernet

i am doing exactly what you are doing at the moment, with no luck getting it going.
it seems that your access lists arn't applied to the interface yet.

if you get it going let me know,

thanks
