Controller acting as Router

  • 1.  Controller acting as Router

    Posted Oct 11, 2014 11:27 AM

    Hello all.

     

    Lightning had its way with my home router last night. 

     

    Im trying to configure the controller (3200xm) in my lab to behave as the router. Im a Hulu only household and its nasty weather outside so this is pretty important(JK).

     

    So far i am having no luck with the configuration. I have the public address and def. gateway assigned to a VLAN (999) and placed on a port. I have inter VLAN routing in place for the other VLANs and source nat enabled for 999, everything is trusted. What am i missing?

     

    Im sure some of you experts can show me the way. What is the easiest way to accomplish this?

     

    Many thanks for future help.

    Try adding "ip nat inside" to your internal vlan interfaces.

    Cappalli: I applied it to the internal VLANs with no luck on getting out. Ill try any other ideas as well.

     

    Thanks for you time also.

    Johnmwifi,

     

    What device is the 3200XM replacing in your existing network?

    You mention that you have source NAT on VLAN 999 and that is your public IP.  You don't want source NAT enabled on your public interface; you want it enabled on your other internal VLANs.

     

    My gateway is a 3200XM as well.   Relevant portions of config:

     

    interface vlan 192
            ip address 192.168.13.254 255.255.255.0
            ip nat inside
            description "home-net"

    !

    interface vlan 470
            ip address dhcp-client
            description "xfinity-vlan"

    !

    interface gigabitethernet 1/3
            description "xfinity-uplink"
            trusted
            trusted vlan 1-4094
            ip access-group "XFINITY-LINK-ACL" session
            switchport access vlan 470

    !

    ip default-gateway import dhcp

    !

    ip access-list session XFINITY-LINK-ACL
      any any svc-dhcp  permit 
      any any any  deny

    Sorry for the delay in response.

     

    Clembo you are a lifesaver. This got me going. I was trying to staticly set the public details and when i changed to dhcp on vlan 999 and fixed the source nat issue i got going. 

     

    Again I REALLY thank you.

    Thanks!!!

    Hi,

    Do we need a license for use Aruba mobility controller as a router in a third party network environment?
