cisco Configuration

Hello,



Soon, I will need to setup a t1 line between 2 sites. I have purchased 2 Cisco 1841 routers with the T1 DSU/CSU card in slot 0 (WIC 1DSU-T1 V2).



Anyway, I think I have everything working properly back to back, but I'm running into a weird problem where one side (config A) can only ping the other side 60% of the time, and the other side (config B) can not ping config A at all. Below are my configurations. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? This is going to be my first T1 deployment, and it has to work. Thanks:

Right now both routers are configured back to back. Thanks.

I am not 100% sure, but I believe with ip unnumbered you have to have some routing protocol running. Do you have a routing protocol configured?

No, you don't need to run a routing protocol with ip unnumbered.

Chris.

John, The problem you are having is an overlapping/mis-configured masks on the Fa0/0 interfaces. If you change the masks to something that is not over-lapping, it should work fine. Try configuring both of them with /24 masks (255.255.255.0)

As KDawg44 mentions, you WILL need a routing protocol (sorry Chris). Any routing protocol will do - even static routes. Here's what you *could* use assuming: --- router A: fa0/0 --> 10.10.0.1 /24 --- router B: fa0/0 --> 10.10.10.2 /24

Add to router A's config: ip route 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 s0/0/0

Add to router B's config: ip route 10.10.0.0 255.255.255.0 s0/0/0

Good luck - Have fun JC

I wouldn't class static routing as a "routing protocol" I was simply saying that ip unnumbered doesn't require a routing protocol, which it doesn't. Static routes work fine. I have installed a couple of hundred routers in this manner!!

Chris, I know we're splitting hairs here - not to mention off-topic, but as a matter of classification, I would include static routing in the same class as any other routing protocol. If static routing isn't a "routing protocol", then what is it?

I think what you mean is it's not a **dynamic** routing protocol.

Let's check the definitions of the words...

Routing:

  1. the arranging and scheduling of mail for delivery.

    Protocol:
  2. code of correct conduct; "Saftey protocols"; "academic protocol"
    formatting link
    Static routes - is a method used to arrange delivery by a code of correct conduct [in our case - packets].

If that doesn't convince you, Cisco lists it as one if it's Routing Protocols in it's table of administrative distances.

Thanks guys. It works now with PPP & HDLC. I'm going to keep playing with it. I'm just using a default route now going through the serial interface on both routers. It seems to work fine. However, if I switch from PPP to HDLC, it seems to take a little while before the routers can ping each other (about 30-90 seconds). Maybe I'm going crazy.

Anyway, the only problem I'm having now is that the connection seems to be slow. As you are aware, it is a back to back T1 connection. If I perform a "copy flash:myimage tftp", the image is downloaded through the connection, but it seems very slow. It takes me about 20 minutes to download the image. I'm going to check to see if there is some type of baudrate or speed command to increase this speed. If you guys have a suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for the help thus far.
