Logging in to Cisco Router

hoanymole

Anyone know what the standard username and password is for a Cisco 2425 router via http://192.168.100.1/

Thanks,
Ed

You need to configure the router's level 15 password via the console interface.
Settings for the console interface are 9600/8/N/1.

If the router is configured with a password already you'll have to reboot the router
into ROMMON and change the config register to 0x2142. Then reset the router.
Once it has booted you can either immediately save the blank config to NVRAM,
reset the config register to 0x2102 and reboot. Or to preserve the original config
you can copy the startup config into RAM, remove all passwords & AAA
lines from the running config, save the config, reset the config register to
0x2102 and reboot.

I've been a cisco engineer for 10 years. It takes a LOT of training to correctly
configure a router.Hope you know what you're doing.

cros13, I think if he knew how to carry out those tasks then he wouldnt have posted the request for help.

Ed, I would have to ask what exactly are you are trying to do?

You can google for the default password and username, but they are likely to have been changed when the thing was first installed. Next step (if you cant find out the password) would be to reset it to defaults, but you will need to know how to reconfigure it before you attempt this.

Magzr

Go and learn it for yourself. Here is the cisco password recovery procedure http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1831/products_tech_note09186a00801746e6.shtml

This contains in more details what cros13 is on about.

I am a CCNP and I totally agree with cros13 in that you really do need to know what you are doing to pull this off.

cros13

My point with the password recovery procedure is that this is
no home router. It's a proper enterprise router with a UNIX based
CLI. There is no default password. The only way to setup this
router is via the console port.

The thing with cisco routers is there really isn't a web interface
in the same sense that your home router has a web interface.
The basic web server on IOS will serve you pages to view the
current config (raw, not nicely labeled) and enter commands
to the CLI. The exception is if you install SDM or CP but Ed's
router is 2-3 generations too old to run either, and they don't
work in any event. And there is no way you'll get into even the
existing *cough* "web interface" without setting up the router first.

This is the book I recommend to people starting off on a career as a network
engineer. It includes most of the CCNA course material greatly compacted:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Network-Warrior-Gary-Donahue/dp/0596101511/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242214311&sr=1-1

Failing that the best textbook for the CCNA is:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/CCNA-Certified-Network-Associate-640-802/dp/0470110082/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242214232&sr=1-3

JonathanAnon

I think the first question is still important. What exactly is the user trying to do, how many computers are behind the network, how complex a configuration would the user want to set up?

Sleipnir

I think it's fairly obvious that if the OP thinks we can get to his router at 192.168.100.1, he shouldn't be going anywhere near a Cisco router!

Fair enough, I have found the SDM to be very flaky anyway. Although the cisco IOS can be cumbersome and non intuitive sometimes, there is a lot to be said for being able to print out a list of the configuration as a text file. You cannot do this with any of the web based config routers, and I find this can make it hard to reconfigure these routers exactly to a previous setting after a BIOS upgrade or reset (which you have to do all to regularly). Usually end up taking screen captures of all the router screens before reconfiguring.

Guys! It's a wireless internet router I got with my 20MB Broadband from UPC/NTL!

I am just trying to set up MAC Filtering but need the default username and password to get in to the user interface.

If you can help with this - that would be great. Weird that no information for the Cisco 2425 is on the internet!

NullZer0

Your trying to use SDM?

Assuming you want to run it on the router -
You need to configure a user account on the router with privilege level 15 with login local.

Then you'll need to enable http / https server.

Here:

Router(config)#username irock privilege 15 password irock
Router(config)#ip http server
Router(config)#ip http secure-server
Router(config)#hostname router1
router1(config)#ip domain name irock.com

Generate the crypto keys (better to use 1024 at least):

router1(config)#crypto key generate rsa general-keys
The name for the keys will be: router1.irock.com
Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your
General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take
a few minutes.

How many bits in the modulus [512]: 1024
% Generating 1024 bit RSA keys, keys will be non-exportable...[OK]

router1(config)#

and...

line vty 0 4
login local

That should do it... haven't tested

Edit :

Oops - specify path to files for http:

http path

hoanymole

I appreciate all of the effort here but I think you've got me wrong!

This is a wireless internet router for my apartment I'm talking about!

I just want to login to change the security settings. Usually it's a default of admin/password to get in to these things but not with this one and there is not a manual online for this wireless router.

It may be one of those new "cisco" (really linksys) consumer cable modems.
A cisco 2425 is an entirely different thing.

And iRock, if it was a 2425 it has about as much chance of running SDM
as a ZX Spectrum has of running Crysis.

I'm a CCNP/CCDP/CCIP/CCSP. SDM has a strange knack for putting out
configs that should work but mysteriously don't.

Somebody who mentioned working for UPC said they were being rolled out.

Ring tech support.

hoanymole

For the record - I managed to clear this up with NTL today.

Default username and password are to be left blank. Just click OK and it will prompt you to set up your own password.

From then on username - <leave blank> and password = whatever password you made up

How's this new wireless modem working out for ye?
I assume it's gonna become the norm for UPC.

What kind of speed/range ye getting?

hoanymole

Yes it's the EPC2425.

Working great so far. Initially the service was intermittent but it has settled down now. Can't really comment on range as I am in an apartment but seems good. Full bars throughout the apartment.

Hi, does anyone have a user guide for this new modem+router that upc is providing now "Cisco EPC2425" as in my package there was not the cd-rom (I got broadband 3Mb yesterday and i was disappoint when i saw that there was not a separate wireless router but was all together one piece with the modem, so i payed 50€ more and instead of cliassic neatgear wgr614 i got this. So now if i'll change provider, home or whatever i will need to buy another wireless router again) anyway i was really surprise when i saw that on the web there are no information, update for firmware, documetation, forum anythig a part of the link above even on portforward.com there are no reference for cisco router and i would like to chage the setting, the only device i found similar to the cisco epc2425 user interface is the "Scientific-Atlanta WebSTAR-EPC2434". So if someone can link the user guide or post some usefull informations this will be great! thanks

cheers man, been lookin for this for a while..turned out to be quite simple in the end. i've tried to set my wii up with the internet though and the wii's not pickin up the router. any ideas? i've a cisco 2425 too

hoanymole

Go to http://192.168.100.1/

Leave both username and password blank and click OK.

(there is an option set up your own password here)

Then once you're in - Click the port forwarding link in the Advance Settings.

Tried this myself and no luck, just keeps prompting me for the username/password. Guess I'll be calling NTL myself.

so what i have to port forward to hook up the wii/ps3 etc..?

watty

put them in a DMZ
then you don't need to forward the gazillion ports.

I never heard of virus ridden/trojaned/zombie hords if Wii/PS3s

You guys really know how to complicate Ed's simple initial question, I was mindboggled by the time I finished. If you can't get onto it by leaving the username and password blank, try Admin or admin as the username and nothing for the password, I'll double check when I get home.

I got this router and I think it's a pain in the ass, half my wireless gadgets started by picking up the signal on and off, now not at all, even after trying different channels including auto, my music receiver won't pick up the network and the customer care don't want to know, saying that the internet works so that's all they cover.

Tried the premium rate support number and the guy didn't seem to know what I was talking about, sounded like he'd never even heard of the router. Explained to him for about 10 minutes for which I am sure I got charged the premium rate only for him to say he would have to check around with his colleagues and I never heard from him again.

All I want is wireless internet access and for my music recevier to pick up the music from my library on my pc and can't get any help or info. Tried plugging my old wireless dlink DI24 into it and the receiver picked up the old network but couldn't pick up the new one to play internet radio. At a loss now except maybe to cancel my account and send the whole lot back. If it doesn't work, why should I pay for it. I got he router free by the way as part of the broadband package but if I was doing again I think I'd get a standard router and use my old or another wireless one. Actually I wonder can I disable wireless on the new UPC router?

Also, does anyone know, if I reset the router will it go back to the default UPC settings or some other factory settings, just as a matter of interest. I might try everythign again from scratch.

I am not in any way knowledgable about setting these things up, if you haven't gathered that already, so if anyone has any tips please give them in a simple idiot's version so I might be able to understand.

I just want the internet on my PC (which I have), wireless internet access for the wii, phone, laptop and for my Roku Soundbridge to pick up my shared music library on a wireless network and play internet radio. I had hoped to set up a bridge to link the TV and Bluray but I'd settle for the others first. I also have a Linksys wet200 that never worked (when I had my old setup where everythnig else worked) and I can't contact their support either. Doesn't make me feel good about linksys/cisco at all.

The D-Link was so simple.

By the way, I asked the installer about using a wireless N router in the future and he said no probs but I doubt that very much.

Thanks

Yes you can disable the wireless, and yes you can press the reset button.
It only resets the modem back to when it was installed, not factory conditions.
The username and password are on the modem on a sticker.

Thanks Sidhe,I'll try that later and see if it works with the old wireless router. Never had a problem with it before so hope fully it'll work.

I have a question to the users of that modem/router.
Namely do you know how to change options associated with assigning ip.
The modem receive the main signal with the 'external ip' (213.xxx.xxx.xxx) but the modem itself assign 'internal ip' (192.168.0.10) to the computer. How to change that option????

Eoin Madsen

Thanks OP, I just got connected today with one of these routers. You saved me calling them up trying to log in to it. :pac:

Port forwarding is a whole lot easier to set up on this than the oul Eircom b/modem.

I/P is in the TCP/IP Properties in your computer's LAN settings. The default is to obtain an I/P address automatically from the router.

If you're in Vista/XP, right click on "My network" or wtf its called, right-click > Properties > right-click on the network adaptor > Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties

You might want to check the connection status while it's working automatically so you can copy most of the existing settings.

Eoin Madsen

Actually that doesn't really work properly with this router, but there's a page in the modem settings for assigning static IPs by mac address which someone else might be better qualified to explain.

I got one of the Cisco boxes from UPC yesterday and, as someone suggested, I just brought up the logon and then hit enter twice and got prompted to create a password.

Box seems OK so far. Some doc's online said it could have 4 SSID's; not that I can find anyway. Most annoying thing is that it adds UPC to the start of your SSID when you change it - this is a crock and real security risk. They seem to have their one version of firmware on there that locks you out of certain areas.

I am waiting on some Dlink Powerline Ethernet adapters to arrive and gonna run it to my own firewall and see if I can somehow bridge it to that and do all the security stuff on that firewall.

Have not hooked up the PS3 or Wii yet but am sure they should work OK. UPnP was not on by default and this may affect gaming on these boxes.

My laptop is working fine with it, but the PS3 just won't work. Everytime it gets to test the connection, it says it couldn't locate the IP address.. Really getting annoyed with it

Have you tried enabling upnp because by default it is disabled. Just tick checkbox next to upnp in advanced->options. I don't have psp myself but I assume psp supports upnp or alternatively you need to forward ports to ip address of your psp.

h2s

Got one of these modems with my recent UPC install.

However I have my own setup involving an old pc and smoothwall express which handles everything between our LAN and the Cisco box.

I don't use the wireless on the Cisco, instead I have the wireless on the lan using my old eircom netopia as a wireless bridge, so no problems with PS3 or Wii.

Also I note that you cannot change the DNS on the Cisco box as it will reboot and default back to UPC settings. Once again smoothwall handles everything and I can still use OpenDNS.

Very little on the Cisco box seems to be accessible: the only tabs that work are setup and a System "status" tab the others are not enabled and the advanced tab appears to be locked down with a different user and password.

However not really bothered once it continues to do the job.

ada4347

does anybody know how much it is to buy a cisco modem-router all in one. but it says nothing about it on upc website.

thedmann

the reason your wii and ps3 etc is not seeing the new cisco ntl modem/router is that the wireless security is wpa2,, the last net gear router you used had wep encryption,, i am afraid the wireless hardwear in your sound system and wii is just not up to the new secure encryption..

you can disable the wireless in the new router and use the switch on the back,, run a cable out of it and put it into another router and use wep encrytion. or switch the encryption back on the cisco to wep. its default is wpa2.
its not the fault of upc/ntl. they have the latest tech in their equipment,, i am afraid you dont.
hope this helps

What exactly is your problem? What are you trying to change?

All settings you need to change are on the Setup tab, including all wireless settings.

All the stuff in the Advanced tab is locked down because it is related to the cable portion of the modem and the voice part of it. They are provisioned centrally by UPC and there is no way for you to change them.

I was asking what the problem you are having is, I wasn't trying to be rude. Not being a native English speaker, I might have formed the question incorrectly.

The two phone ports are locked down for a reason (i.e. you have not bought phone service from NTL). There is no way that I am aware of that you would be able to "unlock" it, because it is not meant to be configurable by the end user. The modem is provisioned centrally using configuration files that are sent to the modem every time it boots up.

The EM2425 is not your standard wireless router, because it is also a cable modem and cable modems behave according to the DOCSIS standard which has certain rules. If the modem adheres to the DOCSIS standard and doesn't have any bugs, then there is no way you can change the configuration file, because it will only be accepted by the modem if sent from the cable side of it (i.e. not the ethernet or wireless side of the modem).
