Please log in for more thread options I ran across a simulator question (in prep for CCNA 604-801), that stumped me and I can't figure out how to fix it. The situation is this: You have 2 routers connected by a serial connection. One of the routers (call it R1) has an IP address on the s0/0 interface and is connected to a host by the fa0/0 interface. There is no other connection to that router, but that router does have a hostname assigned. The second router (call it R2) is attached by fa0/0 to a switch and then file server. There is a host attached through the console port to this router. The instructions say to set up the link between the 2 routers, and finish the config on R2 so that the host on it can reach the file server. When I tried this I couldn't telnet to R2 either by name or IP. Given that there was no console connection to that router, does anyone have a suggestion on how to connect to it? -- Tarvos A+ Network+ Security+ as of December 2005 ------------------------------ 'I had to hit him -- he was starting to make sense.' | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Yes, I've seen something similar. "show cdp neighbors" is the one to
point you in the right direction. PM | |||||||||||||
