The Cisco 800 series routers are part of the Branch Office category, used mainly for SOHO

purposes or for connecting remote branch offices to a central location. They are fixed
hardware configuration devices, meaning that they dont have any plug-in hardware slots for
inserting additional interfaces to the device (all the interfaces are fixed).

All the 800 series models come with a 4-port 10/100 managed switch used for connecting the

internal LAN computers, and with an IOS software that supports security features including the
Firewall set. The main difference of each model is the WAN interface. All models that end with
1 in the model number (i.e 851, 861, 871, 881, 891) have a 10/100 Fast Ethernet interface as
a WAN port. The other models have an xDSL type WAN port (i.e ADSL, G.SHDL, VDSL2).
Also, all models have the option of a WiFi Radio interface (the model number ends with a W,
e.g 851W, 857W, 861W etc).
In this post I will describe a basic configuration scenario for connecting a Cisco 800 router for
Internet access. I will use a model with an Ethernet WAN interface (such as 851, 861, 871, etc)
since those models are the most popular.
Something to have in mind for all 800 series routers, the four LAN interfaces (FE0 up to FE3)
are Layer2 switch interfaces that are assigned by default to Vlan1. This means that you can not

assign an IP address directly to the LAN interfaces. The IP address for the LAN-facing side of
the router is assigned under interface Vlan1. On the other hand, the WAN interface (FE4) is
a normal Layer3 router port, which means you can assign an IP address directly on the
interface (interface FastEthernet4).
I will describe three basic scenarios which are frequently encountered in real networks.
1. Scenario 1: WAN IP address of router is assigned dynamically by the ISP. LAN IP addresses
assigned dynamically from the router to the internal PCs.
2. Scenario 2: WAN IP address of router is static. LAN IP addresses assigned dynamically from
the router.
3. Scenario 3: WAN IP address of router is static. An internal LAN Web Server exists. The router
performs a static Port NAT (port redirection) to forward traffic from Internet towards the internal
Web Server.

Configuration:
The following is the basic configuration needed for the simple scenario above.
configure terminal
enable secret somesecretpassword
! Configure the DHCP pool to assign addresses to internal hosts
ip dhcp pool vlan1pool
network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

! Do not assign addresses 1 to 30
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.30
! This is the LAN facing interface of the 800 router. Used as gateway for PCs

Configuration:
This is the same configuration as scenario 1 except that the WAN IP address is static and also
the default gateway of our ISP is known.
The only difference from the configuration above is on the WAN interface and on default route:
! This is the WAN interface with static IP
interface FastEthernet 4
no shut
ip address 100.100.100.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat outside
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 100.100.100.2
Scenario 3:

Configuration:
Here the WAN address is static and we have also an internal Web Server for which we need to
allow HTTP access from Internet. To do this we must configure a static NAT with port
redirection. Traffic that comes towards our WAN public address 100.100.100.1 on port 80 will
be redirected by the router to the internal Web Server at address 192.168.1.10 on port 80.
