Re: getting my hand wet over cisco!! please help
I am using a cross over cable. However after reading a post by a member it is state that you need a tftp server. this is what he develop:
I REPEAT THIS IS NOT FROM ME BUT IT IS AN EXAMPLE THAT I FOUND ON THIS FORUM!
**************************
A)For illustration purposes, I use:
* Cisco 806 router
* ISP provided static IPs
* ISP provided DNS
* PPPoE (have to put username and password to connect to ISP)
Also for illustration purposes, I run FTP server behind the router. This configuration can be modified to also have web or mail servers.
Just a bit of explanation. E0 interface is for inside network (LAN). E1 is for outside (ISP or WAN). Dialer1 is for PPPoE. The 1.0.0.13 is ISP provided static IP address for the use of the server. This configuration example is for running FTP server, which uses the standard port 20 and 21.
The LAN uses 10.10.10.0 network with 255.255.255.0 subnet. All servers in the LAN use static IP address.
Basically I suggest that you deploy NAT (Network Address Translation) and PAT (Port Address Translation) to setup your own servers behind Cisco router. The NAT is used to translate the ISP's given static IP address to your local IP address. The PAT is used to translate TCP ports (the port 20 and 21) between the two IP addresses.
Instruments used in this illustration are pretty much standard for running your own servers. Please note that IP addresses, username, and password are changed. However, you could always modify the configuration to suit your situation.
SO MY QUESTION IS SHOULD I RUN A TFTP SERVER AS WELL IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO LAUNCH EXPLORER AS EXPLAINED? |
