Hello,

I have a 1721 router with one Serial WAN card and one single port Ethernet
WAN card.
What I need to do is configure the router such that it routes all incoming
(into my network) information from the Ethernet WAN card into my network and
routes all the outgoing information to the Serial WAN card.

I have a satellite linkup with TX and RX on separate devices thus requiring
the above configuration.

I also need to have all IP addresses and IP packets routed to my firewall
which will perform the NAT for my network.

Anyone who can provide assistance in this, could you please either reply to
this post or contact me directly at

Thanking any one in advance who can help!

Just guessing here, I've not seen this done. I would configure my
serical wic. Then on the ethernet I would use "ip unnumbered serial X".
If it accepts the command, the ethernet and serial can share the
address. Then set your default route for the next hop assigned to you
by the isp. If it does something wierd (like trying to route every
other packet out the ethernet, you may have to do something like policy
routing on the fastethernet and set the next hop along with the output
interface. Please let me know how this works out, it is an interesting
scenario.

I apologize for being dense, but if you have a router with two interfaces,
and both of those interfaces are connected to your ISP/satellite
connection, how do you connect the router to your internal network or
firewall? Are you trunking the Ethernet?

If you have another interface or VLAN facing your internal network, then
this doesn't sound complicated. The router's default route would be
configured to point to the serial (outbound) interface and incoming
traffic over the RX Ethernet port could be directed to your internal
firewall using a static route. Asymmetric routing, of course, but that's
how your satellite provider designed it.

I'm thinking something like this:

(ethernet0) RX-\
ROUTER-(ethernet1)-FIREWALL-INSIDE NETWORK
(serial0) TX-/

So, for instance if you have the following interfaces and addresses:

TX interface is Serial 0 address 2.3.4.5/30
RX interface is Ethernet 0 address 4.5.6.7/30
inside interface is Ethernet 1 address 6.7.8.9/30
firewall's outside interface is 6.7.8.10/30
NAT address is 20.20.20.20/32

the relevant configuration would be:

===

interface Serial 0
ip address 2.3.4.5 255.255.255.252

interface Ethernet 0
ip address 4.5.6.7 255.255.255.252

interface Ethernet 1
ip address 6.7.8.9 255.255.255.252

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0 (or ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 2.3.4.6)
ip route 20.20.20.20 255.255.255.255 6.7.8.10

===


The firewall should forward all outbound traffic to 6.7.8.9

Tho original poster said he had a "Serial WAN card and one single port
Ethernet WAN card". The 1721 has a built in fast etherenet port for a
total of three interfaces.

Thanks - I knew I was missing something simple.

You can simply go like this:

interface Ethernet 0
transmit-interface Serial 0
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.252

.....or similar to this (the idea is "transmit-interface" command). You
could also fix this by using policy routing, but you will have some
other issues then, but they are solvable.

HTH,
