Cisco Router Settings

Set your Cisco router to DHCP and tag VLAN 10 – the steps and menu names for Cisco firmware.

Before you start

Connect the router's WAN / internet port to the port on your fibre box (ONT) that we activated – it is in your activation email, and it is usually the one with the light on. Then open the router's settings page.

1. Set the internet connection to DHCP

  1. Go to Networking > WAN > WAN configuration and add an Ethernet WAN row.
  2. Set Connection type to Dynamic IP (DHCP) with NAT enabled.

2. Tag the internet VLAN (VLAN 10)

  1. On the same WAN row tick VLAN and set Internet VLAN ID 10, Priority 0, MTU 1500.
  2. Save; the unit may reboot.

3. Check it works

Give the router a minute, then look at its status page: the WAN or internet section should show an IP address from us. Open a website to confirm. If the WAN stays blank, the VLAN or the DHCP setting has not taken – check both, then restart the router.

Enterprise IOS routers can also do this – configure a dot1Q sub-interface on the WAN port with VLAN 10 and "ip address dhcp".

Cisco models

A settings page for each Cisco model we have seen on New Zealand fibre. If yours is not here the steps above still apply – the menus are the same across the brand.
