I just purchased a Cisco 881 router for my business. I understand a little IOS but i'm having a little problem setting up the router to match the current router (dinky netgear personal router).

My plan is to first match the functionality of the current router:

  • dhcp
  • static outside ip
  • port forwarding

...and then add additional functionality after it is in place:

  • wpa wifi
  • vpn
  • Qos for my 3 ip phones

If anyone has a good site or any words of wisdom I would greatly appreciate it.

fwiw, I saw that Q on meta after it was already settled, and personally I think anything involving a cisco router should go to serverfault. – Joel Coehoorn Sep 1 '09 at 18:18
clearly, this is a topic for server fault, but I could see how some people would thing it's for super user as he's trying to "Learn" IOS. But he states it's for his business. – Roy Rico Feb 26 '10 at 5:45

Why not start at the source and ask questions if you run into problems or don't understand something?

Wow. Not sure who gave you the downvote, but I agree with you fully. +1 – Graeme Donaldson Oct 14 '09 at 11:56
+1 I've previously used the CISCO web site to answer my questions - it did take a bit of digging, but it was free! (I don't understand the downvote either.) – Umber Ferrule Oct 21 '09 at 12:31

A colleague of mine ended up buying the Cisco IOS Cookbook to get our Cisco hardware up and running.

+1 for the Cisco IOS Cookbook! It's saved me a lot of time. – atroon Dec 24 '09 at 14:46
