2 serial connections to the same router ? open original image

Two routers are connected each other with 2 serial connections. Each router has one workstation that has ip address, 129.13.1.2 and



129.13.2.2.

Because router has 2 serial connections to each other, I was expecting this output: Router2#>show ip route C 129.13.2.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet1/0 C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0/0 C 192.168.2.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0/1 R 129.13.1.0/24 [120/1] via 192.168.1.1, 00:05:22, Serial0/0 R 129.13.1.0/24 [120/1] via 192.168.2.1, 00:05:22, Serial0/1



But, the real one is below: Gateway of last resort is not set C 129.13.2.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet1/0 C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0/0 C 192.168.2.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0/1 R 129.13.1.0/24 [120/1] via 192.168.2.1, 00:05:22, Serial0/1



I don't know what causes this problem. It should have one more line, 'cause I have another serial connection.



"R 129.13.1.0/24 [120/1] via 192.168.1.1, 00:05:22, Serial0/0"



Please help me out..



What version of software are you running? Could you post your configuration?

The maximum number of equal cost paths allowed is controlled by the "maximum-paths" command under the rip router configuration and by default up to 4 paths are supported. Do you by any chance have the maximum-paths set at 1?

I guess my network simulator software doesn't support that kind of situation. I use boson network simulator. It's good,but when I study more and more, it's limitation reveals. -.- or something is wrong with my setting.
