• Awesome, thanks for the info!

• Would love to see more Cisco videos.

• Thank you for a simple and straight forward video. This is very helpful.

• I have this basic setup working in my lab. Question, can you use a layer 3 Cisco switch and eliminate the router?

• Ah nice: that was cool! I learned a lot! Got it to work but ran into ip conflics because of ports that were in the wrong subnet. But a few hours of typing it all works 🙂 But now that I know: the next time will be a lot faster 🙂

• Aren't you missing a default route?

• what do you do if your cisco router has no options to configure NAT? I'm working with a 3750v2 and basically have no options for ip nat.

• I have done this procedure several times, I have even written a table with all the commands in order so not to get confused, here is what it looks like:
  int g0/0
  ip add dhcp
  no sh
  exit

  Int g0/1
  ip add 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
  No sh
  exit

  ip dhcp pool HOME
  network 10.0.0.0
  defaut-router 10.0.0.1
  dns-server 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
  exit
  ip dhcp excluded-address 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.9

  int g0/0
  ip nat outside
  exit
  int g0/1
  ip nat inside
  exit

  ip access-list standard NAT
  permit 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255
  exit

  ip nat inside source list NAT int g0/0 overload
  do wr

  every time same result: The DHCP assigns several addresses ranging form 10.0.0.10 to .14 (5 PC's). Outside of your description, g0/1 is going into a 3750 port and that's where the 5PC's are connected. I believe the Switch does not block the connection because when i bring another Ethernet cable coming from a home switch with a 192.168.2.x, all the PC's surf fine. I am obviously missing something.

• thanks so much. the Home Lab is working fine. how about if I use the router. how about if I use a router instead of switch? what should I do in order for the routers from the lab communicate with outside world? should I do default route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 f0/0 overload ?

• Can anyone point me to a good video setting up a Cisco 4321. I noticed you used eth 0/0 does that work the same as the Gigabitthernet command are they interchangeable or do I need to you int Gig on my box

• After I set this up, I understand that I'd have regular internet connected through Ethernet. What if I wanted to hook a wireless router to that? Would I have to do anything extra?

• Do you need a firewall with the config? Studying Cisco and want to flip over to using this kind of config in my home
