Cisco 871 port forwarding

[vorgusa]

I have been trying to set up port forwarding on my Cisco Router. I got it so that when I take a CCNA class I could have something to practice on. I found areas online that talk about port forwarding but they have a component called BVI that is not setup on my router and they talk about it like it should be.. also there is no QoS functionality in the SDM. Did I get ripped off or something I thought the router should come with QoS.

I cannot comment on the SDM as I have never used it but you can configure QoS on your router. If you are going to be taking a CCNA class you are going to want to become familar with the CLI anyway. So, as far as configuring port forwarding, I am going to assume that you have NAT configured and working. So, here is what you are going to need to make it work.

ip nat inside source static tcp <inside address> <inside port> <outside address> <outside port extendable


Edit: Here is the link to the documentation for NAT.

I finally got it working or at least I think so... using a similar command with FastEthernet 4 instead of BVI1, but the site check on the Torrent program I was using said it was still closed, but when I tried to download something I got over 500 kb/sec, so I can't complain about that.
The QoS thing in SDM says that my version of IOS does not support it.. I do not know if that is a problem with the SDM or the router.. I guess I will find out when I take the class. Thanks for your help though
