Need to add static external IP to 2600 Series Cisco

[SuperMicStick]

I just added a Citrix server to my server farm. I need to add it's altaddr (external IP address) to the router so that it can be access externally. I have no experience with routers, and have no clue where to start. Can someone please help!

Thank you

I would suggest calling someone who does know what they are doing. Your post is extremely vague and not very useful. In most corporate environments, this is handled onthe firewall. If you router is acting like a firewall, then i doubt most people here could tell you what to do without seeing a partial configuration. If you don't know how to get the configuration off your router, then you probably shouldn't be messing with a production unit.


It is what it is!!

Just as a starter so you know. To get the configuration from the router complete the following:-

router>enable
enter the password
router#sh run

This shows the current running configuraiton of the router that is held in RAM.
You will need to copy and paste this configuration to this site so that we can have a look and offer you the help required.



Reamin positive. The affect on those around you will amaze.

OK First I tried to connect to the router in hyperterminal and just a blank screen. I borrowed a terminal cable from a friend and as it turns out I had a bad cable!

Now we are going to attempt to reboot the router and access it without the password via

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/474/pswdrec_2600.shtml

We will then try:
router>enable
enter the password
router#sh run

I hope to get the config from my coworker tomorrow morning. Then what I am trying to do is add a new server just like the current servers on the router.

OK now we got the password and everything open etc. The current question is: can I have 2 sets of external IP addresses on one Cisco 2610 router? I have one set from one company, and one set from another and want to utilize both.

Each interface can be customized. However, I'm still going to agree with everyone on the above, not working with routers/firewalls on a regular basis what you're trying to do is highly inadvisable.

I'm a CCNA and it has been about a year since I've worked with Cisco (job change) and I've kept up to date with doing some odd reading here and there, and I'd be calling in some more experienced ex-coworkers to walk them through my changes prior to attempting to do this.

yes you can use two differnt IP's as long as they are not being routed anywhere else.

If you use one interface then you will need to add the other ip's as a secondary on that interface, or use the ip's on two different interfaces.

in the config
interface fastethernet 0/0
ip address 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
ip address 172.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 secondary
This is one way to get two ip ranges on the same interface.
