IP Route Tables - Point to Point Connection - Only Routing 1 way

Hi there,

I have a point to point connection but have come accross an issue.

Site 1 - This is the main office and this has the following setup

router internal 10.1.15.230 ( Wan Link 10.2.254.1 )

Site 2 - Branch Office

router internal 10.2.0.1 ( Wan Link 10.2.254.2 )

Now This is where I am confused, I am able to send ping commands through the router Interfaces and so know the link is up and running.

I have a computer attached at the remote site on ip address 10.2.0.10 going through the router 10.2.0.1 Now when I am at the london office I am able to do a tracert and it comes with the following

I'm guessing that this is just a typo, but your information above says the WAN link on the central office side is .1, and yet your routing table on the remote router shows next hops of .2 which doesn't make any sense. Have you tried sourcing trace routes (type trace and hit enter) and source it from the LAN and WAN to see what happens. But to solve this quickly, please post a show ip route from both routers and your configs (password and other information omitted).

Your ksshorley1 router is performing network address translation (NAT) on traffic from the LAN side going across the WAN to the remote office. This is why hosts in the remote office LAN are not able to connect to hosts in the London LAN. If this does not make sense, look into information about NAT which will describe how NAT essentially hides IP addresses on the inside network by making them look like they are all coming from the outside IP address of the router running NAT. The router running NAT tracks return requests through a NAT table to make sure they go back to the original source on the inside network. Connections originating from the outside of the NAT router directly to IP addresses on the inside of the NAT router are not possible when NAT is running.

Please check to see why NAT is being used between offices. Normally there is no need to use NAT when both sides of the WAN connection have IP subnets which do not overlap and do not conflict in the routing table, such as yours. If there is no need for using NAT, enter the following commands to disable NAT:

ksshorley2(config)# no ip nat inside source list 1 interface Serial0/0/0 overload ksshorley2(config)# no access-list 1 ksshorley2(config)# interface Serial0/0/0 ksshorley2(config-if)# no ip nat ksshorley2(config-if)# interface FastEthernet0/0 ksshorley2(config-if)# no ip nat inside

To clean up, also enter the following to remove this dangling lone configuration command as well:

ksshorley1(config-if)# interface FastEthernet0/0 ksshorley1(config-if)# no ip nat inside

Both routers could use more specific static default routes if there is an Internet connection or more of the company network on either side. The static routes in the "ip route" commands on each router only specify an interface and do not specify the next hop IP address at the end of the command. This might only need attention if there is an Internet connection or other part of the network which would need a "catch all" entry like this default route command. If this works for you, then that is fine and not the cause as long as EIGRP is advertising the LAN subnets from each office between these routers.
